Discovered that I love HP Sauce with a ham, egg, and cheese on a roll. Makes me wish that brown sauce were more common here.

What are some foreign flavors that you've enjoyed combining with American food?
>>
Are you retarded? HP is basically a type or worcestershire sauce that we use all the damn time in the us
>>
>>22212807
>basically a type or
Back to English class with you. Anyway, HP has a markedly different taste from Worcestershire, A1, or anything else that idiots who have never had it like to use as a comparison. Markedly.
>>
>>22212803
Polish ketchup has completely replaced American ketchup for me
>>
>>22212807
Are you stupid? Obviously. Its why Heinz ketchup has a different taste than Hunts. What a retard.

>>22212803
Anon HP sauce is too sweet. It's too sweet.

They make a sauce here called Country Bobs, it's very very similar to HP.

Which makes it perfect against salty ham and cheese

It's nothing like it, you starry-eyed little girl. Try it sometime.

I just didn't want you to run your mouth saying its just like Worcestershire sauce, when it's not. I just thought it would be better for you to taste it so you know the clear difference and you wouldn't sound like such a fucking dickhead. It's not like I'm invested in the sauce, I don't even really like it.

I see right through your attempt at detached nonchalance. If I was a betting man, I’d put it all on the fact that you have a large number of stockholder shares in HP Sauce.

Using the third person to describe people from the UK.

>I’m from the UK
sure you are . . . . . Lidderally
>>
>>22212803
so how do Brits actually use this stuff? On burgers? Just breakfast sandwiches or breakfast foods?
>>
I use to buy it back in the day when it was made in the UK. I'm in the US. Now it's made in the Netherworld I think. Can any brit verify if the stuff meant for domestic is the same as the stuff made for overseas. It's all made overseas now right?

Thanks,

Bought some Bovril in Gibraltar though.
>>
>>22213279
Yeah mainly breakfast food.
>>22213288
Think it's just made in the Netherlands. I haven't seen it abroad, in Europe. 5 or 6 different countries.
>>
>>22213279
pretty much everything. the british are hounds for some brown.

That sucks. I knew the original plant shut down a few years ago which was why I asked whether the UK gets the original version and the rest of the world might get something different.

Great for a bacon butty. Thanks Onslow.
>>
>>22213288
Brit here.
Yes, they have changed manufacturing to the Netherlands from Britain but as far as I can tell, it's still the same. If you are in the USA you might want to check the label and see if it contains HFCS which we don't use here.

>>22213279
Not burgers so much but more breakfast type foods: Bacon; eggs; sausages; cheese sarnies;etc.
>>
>>22213329
I don't know, but I know that the Dutch still didn't really know about it a couple of years ago, as when I was there my wife stupidly asked for some and the waiter said that they don't have it but the chef would make some and it was the strangest abomination I'd ever tried.

Thank you. I will check or at least wait until whenever I pull into a British port.

>whenever I pull into a British port.
What are you?
Merchant navy or something?
I've come across guys from the merchant navy before, they watch the same films over and over and know the script verbatim, they also know how to juggle because their is nothing else to do.?
>>
>>22213348
I can't fathom that there is much difference. I doubt that there will be many countries that require this sauce outside of importing it as a 'world food'.
>>
>>22213361
I was in the US Navy but now I am early retired and cruise alot. As I mentioned earlier, I bought some things when I pulled into Gibraltar. I try to get unique foods from the markets when I pull in. I am British heritage and I love me some goodies from the old country. I'll be going on a 21 day one through our Panama Canal in a few days. I'll see wgat they have in Aruba and the Dutch Caribbean countries.

Gotta appreciate the golden age while we can. Good times can't last forever.

>>22213378
You're living the dream anon. Fair play. Have a good un!

>>22213378
you can retire on a US Navy salary?

Thank you. It's not the QE2 but I guess it's the QE3 now. I hope it's not too stuffy. I'm not that old yet.

Those monkeys in Gibraltar are bastards, one of them bit me, I hate them.

Sounds like you are a similar age to me.
Like you said, enjoy the good times anon, I think we have seen the best of them.
>>
>>22213399
They're actually pretty informal, but the food actually isn't great in the main restaurant. Sort of at least partially precooked, I suppose it's due to the high demand as it's an opulent establishment and there are a lot of grannies who know no better. Great to eat there, regardless.

No, I was only in for four years. Navy Air. P-3s.

I just did well after and sold my company when I was 34. Then a little from my inheritance when father died, I leased out my property for solar, now I have more income than I need. That was 2019. Now I meet up with girlfriends i made around the world and we cruise. Still a bachelor.

One of them sat on my shoulder and slapped me on the head, but I found it funny as I was tanked... At the time it was a quid a pint and a quid a shot basically.

Fucking love that place. It's ridiculous in many ways, I was surprised how conservative it was, mainly when I was looking to get even more shitfaced and everything was closed, but it's really quaint and also cheap. Some really nice art deco... love the fire station
>>
>>22213407
I heard it was the most formal of the lines. I got a great deal though on a repositioning so why not? $3200 for two people for 21 days with a balcony unobscured? Cheap.
>>
>>22213417
Gilbratar still cheap then to visit?

I only had a day. That's a big negative. I still backpack from time to time and meet up with people. It was a nice place. Monkey pool. Walked up.
>>
>>22213424
Wow that's a fucking great deal. I didn't find it formal, but that may have been because the waiters were friendly and casual. I did have to wear a collar in the evening and make sure I wasn't wearing dogshit. In the day, it was more relaxed.
>>
>>22213426
In terms of accommodation it's not bad, there aren't that many swank places. In terms of restaurants they're starting to go overboard with their prices. General supermarket food is cheap. Pubs are still relatively cheap, alcohol from shops is still ridiculously cheap, relatively speaking. Same with tobacco, I noticed, if you're into that.
>>
>>22213440
Damn, yeah I mean pubs and off license being cheap im sold. Specially given how expensive UK is getting these days
>>
>>22213435
I'll wear a collar and long pants but I don't want to wear a jacket too much. One reason why it's cheap I assume is it's the rainy season down there right now. Also not the most great of ports until after you get through Panama.
>>
>>22213445
>Specially given how expensive UK is getting these days
It's not just the UK, it's everywhere.

Japan is pretty cheap still. I fly over sometimes for a month or so at a time. You can get plastered for 60cents a 9% strong zero can.

hp sauce is good on most beef dishes.
if you have dry beef like a pie or an overcooked steak, hp makes it tasty.
most meat pies - chicken pot pie, cottage pie - hp is great

Curry Ketchup, which I found out from ARUBA of all places. The small Dutch presence still there is in a giant supermarket in the capital called Super Food and they sell like 90% Dutch goods.

I also remember they had a copy of a translated yuri manga there, Citrus, in the book section which was pretty insane to me

a1 is the comparison i've always heard as a bong. is that worth seeking out to try, if it's not similar?
>>
>>22213279
goes well with chips, chippies make their own version by diluting it with vinegar
>>
>>22214025
A1 is very acidic, almost watery, and very very strongly flavored. A1 overpowers everything that it touches. I've never had HP sauce but I doubt it's as overpowering as A1. Anything that touches A1 just becomes A1 flavored.

This right here. Leaps and bounds better. I made the switch 5 years ago and never looked back.

>>22213037
No BS in it. Uses real sugar instead of Corn syrup. And no where near as sweet. Tomato And garlic are your upfront tastes. And it's cheaper than American versions
>>
>>22214346
What sort of sandwich even is that? Tomato in a cheesy scone?
>>
>>22213279
It instantly makes bacon sandwiches God-tier

>>22214833
If you ask me it masks the bacon flavour.

>>22212993

>>22214876
Only if you use too much of it. Treat it like a strong English mustard - a small amount can absolutely transform a bacon sandwich.
