Want to try these, anyone seen them in UK shops?

You're the first British person I've met that wasn't adamant that "brown sauce" was superior and no other condiment is ever needed.

[โ€“] SheenSquelcher@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Ha yeah, ive never been a fan of brown sauce. And its nice to try something new for a change.

[โ€“] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That statement is correct, but without an inferior sauce to compare it to you can't show other people. I'd rather not buy US for that.

[โ€“] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Yes! This is the attitude I've come to expect from British people about brown sauce :P

HP sauce is very available in Canada as well if that is your thing. That is the โ€œbrown sauceโ€ in the UK and it is everywhere.

Oh I know, and I've traveled so I've had brown sauce before. But condiment preferences is all about what you're used to, so I prefer ketchup. Just find it amusing how adamant British people are about the superiority of brown sauce.

HP is owned by Heinz/Kraft.

Daddies is as well.

I'm not going without brown sauce. Some compromises have to be made.

No, HP and generic "brown sauce" are very different animals. TBH I don't much like either, preferring ketchup, but my wife will only touch HP. She won't touch no-name generic brown sauce at all.

I'm not British and brown sauce is great, but these German ones are also great. Keeping my diet in check these days so no sauces for me though T_T
