It comes in various forms in various bottles and can have either a sweetish flavour like chutney or a sharper, spicey one. The two best selling brands are "H.P. Sauce" (the sweeter one) and "Daddie's Sauce" (the other).<BR/>Absolutely essential for me with fried food and good in cheese sandwiches, too.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-24033379300354492562008-11-29T15:21:00.000+00:002008-11-29T15:21:00.000+00:00I'm so glad you explained the wall HHnB talked of ...I'm so glad you explained the wall HHnB talked of defending.

As to bacon sandwiches (I am not attracted to the curiously unattractive vox pop version of this phrase) we are a family divided by butter. I prefer the bread to be buttered, my wife doesn't. To quote S. J. Perelman, you can hear the arteries snapping off like pipe-stems.<BR/><BR/>A confession I've been meaning to make for some time. You responded to my query of several months ago explaining that your blogonym was Latin for grandfather. So be it. But for me it always evokes the early post-war years of motor-racing when suicidal drivers raced each other on what was little more than two adjacent sides of a motorway near Berlin, linked at each end by banked hairpin bends with no protection at all to prevent the cars flying off into the countryside. Closed after the death of a fine driver Jean Behra and not a moment too soon. I mention this just in case, in responding to one of your posts, I appear to be a little off-key with what you have written.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.com
