Mapfre Stadium, formerly known as CCS...

Just had a bacon sandwich the other night. After all the HP Sauce talk, I bought a bottle and added some... and meh. I'll forgo it next time. I didn't enjoy it all that much and thought it brought down the quality of the sandwich

 

Depends entirely on the bacon and bread used.

IMHO, HP can overwhelm a good sandwich or steak, so it is better on chips than on a sandwich. Yes, I said 'chips,' not 'french fries,' because 'french fries' are thin, greasy, strips of potatoes you can get at McDonald's, whereas 'chips' are large chipped-off chunks of potatoes you get at an establishment that knows how to pour a Guinness.

 

So... potato wedges

 

Now that was Euro Snob!

 

Those "chips" are nothing of the sort. Pseudo potato wedges.

 

HP is just another steak sauce.

 

I thought I'd class this place up a bit.

 

A nation that classifies Hersheys as "chocolate" would not get HP sauce. It's ok though - there's nothing wrong with that I suppose. We are all different.

 

Yes, yes, lets take our cullinary advice from a country that produces, and eats, marmite

 

Be careful what you say about marmite...

 

Better than putting peanut butter and jelly/jam on a sandwich.....

 

Murphy's beats Guinness any day of the week and twice on match day.

 

There should be multiple reps allowed for statements like this!

Although, If I'm going the stout direction, I'm getting Nitro Milk Stout from Left Hand.

 

Nitro Milk Stout is one of my favorites, and Murphy's is good, but sometimes I just feel like a Guinness (or six).

 

Guinness is a three course meal, Murphy's is a dessert

 

You've gone too far sir!

 

Can you pour HP on a filet mignon?

The real stuff:

 

In the recent news...

Exactly

 

So HP sauce American equiv is Worcestershire sauce?

 

According to the internets, HP started in England, but was bought by Heinz and is now made in the Netherlands. Worcestershire (absolutely NOT pronounced phonetically) was also apparently bought by HP at once time.

I believe...Lea & Perrins is the original. Depending on who you talk to, they're the only "true" type. All others are essentially knockoffs.

No, different types of sauces.

HP is tomato/vinegar/dates. Sort of an all purpose sauce (like the Euro equivalent of our Heinz 57)

Worcestershire sauce is a sauce made with anchovies and vinegar. Worcestershire sauce is meant more of a steak sauce, but I can put it on absolutely anything. Love that stuff.

When I was a kid I would drown everything I ate with it.

 

You are going on ignore you heathen.
