What is hp sauce?

HP Sauce, originally known as "HP Fruity Brown Sauce", is a brown sauce originally produced in the United Kingdom. Developed in the mid 19th century, it is one of the most popular brown sauces in the UK. It is currently manufactured by Heinz and is available in many countries worldwide.

The sauce is a thick, dark brown, slightly tangy sauce with a sweet, fruity flavour. It is made with a blend of tomatoes, malt vinegar, sugar, salt and spices, including dates, tamarind, and Worcestershire sauce. The original recipe was developed by Frederick Gibson Garton in 1899.

HP Sauce is typically served with hot or cold meats, such as sausages, burgers, bacon and chips, and is a common condiment in British pubs. It is also used in a variety of dishes, such as pies, stews, and sandwiches.

The name "HP" comes from the Houses of Parliament, where the sauce was first served in the early 20th century. It quickly gained popularity and became a household name.

HP Sauce is a British culinary institution and has a dedicated fan base. The sauce has been exported around the world and is now available in many countries.
