New HP Sauce

Pete, the Old Trip does indeed now sell Greene King ales. An improvement IMHO as I could never detect any discernable taste in Kimberley beers.

The Abbot was excellent about 3 weeks ago.

Traitor!!!!!!!!!!!

How on Earth did a thread about HP sauce turn into a thread about Ale

Ainsley the TV chef does a barbecue sauce that contains “real smoke” thats not bad at all available at our local Sainsbury if it helps.
Got a Heinz curry sauce in a bottle with pineapple from Malaga thats acceptable.
Anyone know where you can get piccallililie sauce on its own without the bits in? The co-op used to do it.
Must dash off to top up my stocks of brown gold

The new HP Sauce from the Netherlands has arrived in the UK and it’s awful! My advice is to get to the supermarket and buy up all the remaining bottles marked “Made in Birmingham” as quickly as you can!! You have been warned!!

This stuff has gone through so many changes in the past 50 years it is nothing like the original which was thicker, spicer & far hotter than the insipid product that is now offered, I have not tried the “foreign” version & probably never will.

Actually, its being made in Holland by forum member Cees Broere, who has given up on Halifaxes. Ever wondered why his forum name is HP57?? Is that 57 as in Heinz 57 Varieties?:D

Darn it Andy,

You let the cat out of the bag:D 😀

Well I don’t need it Steve. Don’t eat meat so …. it wouldn’t go well with vegetables :p

So glad I don’t like brown sauce if this is the trouble you all have to go through to get it. :p

Don’t like brown sauce!!…and you call yourself a Geordie!!

Where did you go supping then as there weren’t that many pubs in the city centre that sold Shippos.

Pete,

It’s so many years ago (at least thirty), that I cannot recall the places I used to drink in anymore.

However, an evening out with the girlfriend may well have ended with a visit to the Blue Dolfin, then a call at her local “offie” which dispensed Shipstones from a hand pump into whatever receptacle you’d taken with you.

The Trip hadn’t yet become the touristy place it is now, so it was worth calling in every now and again. I recall bits dropping off the ceiling into my beer and bubbling away in the bottom of the glass. Cheaper than a vitamin pill!

(The pub is built against a cave for anyone who doesn’t know).

Once a second home, due to girlfriend/wife, I went back to Nottingham last year and became totally and utterly lost while trying to re-trace well beaten paths of the past.

Still a great place but not what it was in my yoof (imho).

Aaah, Shipstones, an excellent pint in it’s day (afore said take-over by the brewers of truly disgusting beer, Greenall Whitley).

Several pints of Shippo’s, then a deep fried mackerel and chips from the Blue Dolfin on Mansfield Road….

…ey up mi duck!

Shame to think that The Trip to Jerusalem probably sells Greene King now.
We always used to call in at Theodosis on Ilkeston Road for the traditional late night fish fest.
When I moved house recently I rediscovered a lot of Shipstones items recovered from the brewery by my mate when it closed, including a large framed photo of the founder which I believe used to hang in the boadroom.

So glad I don’t like brown sauce if this is the trouble you all have to go through to get it. :p

My pal used to be the architect for Shipstones in Nottingham

Please don’t mention the words ‘Mildenhall Burgers’ ever again, at this time of year we would be normally gearing up for it, only a few weeks to go……

HP obviously have the Greene King syndrome, ie, you brew established beers taken over from other parts of the country in a different place and expect the public not to notice that it tastes completely differently.
My pal used to be the architect for Shipstones in Nottingham, they were bought out by Greenalls (who have subsequently gone down the pan, thank God) and whoever brews it now, makes it in Brum. No disrespect to Brum brewing, but it’s a completely different taste, not the same stuff. At first my pal tried to say that brewing techniques were so advanced, that you couldn’t tell the difference, my ****, he’s since changed his mind, having escaped from the shackles of the industry.
There was always a bottle of HP lurking in the pantry of our house when I was a kid, was never keen myself, but I’m not a great fan of sauces, unless it was on those polish sausages, burgers….no…. lets not mention that.

I haven’t forgotten, just not been near Sainsburys for ages, I shall pick you some up soon however…

Good man……..Looking forward to that special taste:D

It seems that H.C.S. is not popular in London.If anyone can supply me with a couple of bottles,cost and postage will be paid by myself,please PM me.I will be a happy bunny:D

Ah yes, but does the imported stuff taste the same as the Toon broon

Well she tastes great here, but I’ve only had 2 pints o’ the ‘broon’ in the UK … most of my time was spent with Smiths, Boddies, and Worthingtons (while shaking my head and laughing at the bottled ‘Bud and ‘Cold’ Guinness drinkers)

And I should add, my HP is imported anyways… from freakin’ NEW JERSEY?!?! and its in a rectangular SQUEEZE bottle… where’s my square glass bottle!?!

Oh well… memories of my favourite English breakfast… coffee and toasted bacon sandwiches with brown sauce while wrestling with the Times… ahhh.

But ‘Nookie broon’ does just fine over here
