I remember using a condiment i'd never seen in the states at two restaurants i ate at while in england..is this likely it?

Most likely. It's a big favorite in England.

I am looking for the original version of hp. the version of hp prior to the changes in sugar and salt. is this product the older version from 40 year?

The older version was discontinued in 2007 when they sold to Heinz and moved production from UK to Netherlands. I cannot help you with the sugar as they have switched to High Fructose Corn Syrup, however - if you add 2 grams of table salt to one full 255 gram bottle of the current HP sauce, you will be just about back to the original version that used 2.1 grams of salt to 100 grams. The new version now uses only 1.3 grams sodium per 100 grams. I take the 2 grams of table salt and use 10 mL hot water to dissolve it. Add the solution to the bottle. You may need to pour out some of the sauce to have room to add the sodium chloride solution, depending on how full the bottle was filled. I tried the original HP in New Zealand in the mid 1980s and in 2005 while in Scotland. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is 1.5 times sweeter than sugar, so even adding the missing salt will not get you the original taste, but it is close.

Alright, what is this? I was looking for malt vinegar. :)

HP Sauce contains malt vinegar which is probably why it came up in the search. It is a brown sauce that you put on bangers, beans, etc.Malt Vinegar can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GQ9ZBM

HP sauce is the best!

This sauce is so much better than Heinz 57 or A1 Steak Sauce. It's fantastic on chicken, beef, lamb, and fish. Highly recommended!

A Popular English sauce that works on some things

A friend from England suggested that I try this sauce that is very popular in England and is probably in every home there. It's been around forever. So I decided to order a bottle to see for myself. I have mixed reviews as an American that likes to try different sauces. The main ingredient is malt vinegar. That might tell you something right there. It is certainly an acquired taste. It is a little bit like our A1 sauce. It is very strong. I have found that it tastes better alone directly on some kind of meat. When I put it on a cheeseburger with cheese and bread, it did not work for me because of the strong malt vinegar taste. And yet, when I put it directly on a plain burger on a plate or a steak, it tasted great. So for me I would say that it does not work on bread, but that is just my taste. It is a thicker sauce. It certainly is quality but the question is: does it work with our American taste-buds? Like I said, directly on the meat or as a dipping sauce. I would say try and see if it works for you. And not everybody in England likes it. Some in England prefer ketchup. But I do think it is worth trying.

Worth trying.

I am only giving it four stars because it is hard to earn a five from me. While I am the only person in the family that enjoyed this, I think everyone should try foods from other countries. No, it isn't going to replace mustard, ketchup, or BBQ sauce for me, but it was fun trying it on a bacon butty and fries. I think it is a nice addition to condiments we use every day. It brings a tang and sweetness unlike any other condiment I have in my fridge.
