YR brown sauce

jogdish

Hi,
So I bought some YR brown sauce, from memory this should be a very thick sauce that barely pours out, and needs to be scooped with a knife out.

The last two bottles of YR brown sauce have literally run out of the bottle almost like water, also the taste was not what I used to remember.

Is this a recent change in YR? Or am I thinking of a different brand?

There is another brand, similar in flavour to YR, quite sharp / tangy, HP.



IIRC it is quite viscous in comparison to YR.

I had seen the bottle for years and never copped what the label was showing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Sauce

The original recipe for HP Sauce was invented and developed by Frederick Gibson Garton, a grocer from Nottingham.[5] He registered the name H.P. Sauce in 1895. Garton called the sauce HP because he had heard that a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament had begun serving it.[6] For many years the bottle labels have carried a picture of the Houses of Parliament.

I would remembe YR as being a little thicker than heinz ketchup. I remember the lid being caked in the stuff, and having to use a butter knife to get it out, otherwise you would be tapping and loads would come out.

YR stands for yorkshire relish.

Is this the YR Sauce that you bought?

If so, yes it is watery.

You probably wanted this one...
