Comment on HP Sauce

The latest bottle of HP sauce that I have says it is made in SPAIN, yet it still has that most iconic illustration of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on the label. The label implies it is a British product and therefore is clearly misleading. HP sauce is no longer a British icon, how can it be when it is no longer manufactured here? Heinz foods should be forced to re-label the sauce, perhaps an image of the Barcelona Cathedral would be more appropriate now. Please please remove HP sauce as a British icon, the manufacture of it was moved away from England for reasons of maximum profit for Heinz, so lets stop them misleading the world that it is actually British!

I am British and live in the Netherlands. We used to bring back several bottles of HP, when we visited Britain, so we were pleased when it became available in our local shops. Unfortunately HP sauce hasn't been able to interest the Dutch customers, so it is no longer available. I am still looking for a sauce that is as good, but thats impossible, is it not??

This is a comment for Pam from Texas. Did you check where your HP was made? I believe they have been making some HP in NJ for sale over here in the USA and it doesn't taste the same as the UK one - its good but not quite the same. Check to see if it's made in the UK (I think you may find it's now made in the Netherlands?!)

I buy it here in Texas and it isn't the same HP I used to buy. It is thinner and not nearly as dark ...the old HP had definite flecks in it ..pepper?? but this stuff is a poor replica. I have emailed HP and they swear the recipe has never changed. I really really don't think it's me. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It's NOT the SAME. One comment: my very favorite is HP on fish and chips. The BEST flavor with the vinegar and saltiness.

Comment on HP Sauce

It is (was) part of a British institution. I have worked all over the world for 30 years and either took it or made sure it was available - a bacon sandwich is incomplete without it. I can relate back to stories told by my Mother when Birmingham was bombed in the second world war and the situation at HP. I will make a point to boycott it in the future and all other Heinz products. I am fed up with the the lack of backbone in this country in allowing UK manufacturing of all manner of commodities to be sold off overseas in order to go to the lowest cost producer (and I suspect quality will suffer.)

I am proud to say that I am the great-great-grandson of Edwin Samson Moore. HP sauce is British through and through. Production should never have left the country. We are being sold down the river. God Save England.

It's not made in England anymore, so I can't vote for it as an icon. 16th March 2007

Comment on HP Sauce

in one of my first jobs in england i was working out in a little village where the chaps would get a bacon sandwich every friday. it was here i learnt that "it has to be brown sauce, and only HP will do". it's something that most british guys i know heartily agree to. there's just something about the tanginess of HP that makes bacon taste right.
