I had no idea people were so passionate about brown sauce! I’ve traveled quite a bit and like to think I have a pretty sophisticated palate, but color me ignorant on this one. Also: I know some people tend to measure a blog’s success by the number of comments it receives, so for now on, I know how to bring them on: mention the SEC filing, but focus on food instead. Thanks to everyone for the brown sauce education!

Richard: I clicked to leave Michele an educational comment but you had already hit the high notes. FYI as an ex-pat I no longer miss black pudding as I can buy the Spanish equivalent called morcilla at ethnic supermarkets. Delicious.

Brown sauce is a delicious condiment so called because of its color (duh). “HP sauce” is the most favorite I believe and was recently transferred to the Netherlands to be made despite much wailing and gnashing of teeth. I prefer a sauce called “Daddies” which is also brown, very tasty but contains no tomatoes, the major ingredient being molasses. Blood pudding or Black pudding is a type of sausage, again very tasty. In other less civilised parts they eat haggis, sheeps meat and herbs contained in the sheeps stomach – although nowadays it is a manufactured substitute – the stomach not the meat. Mind you, they also have “cockaleekie soup” to warm their sporrans no doubt. But then we also eat winkles but you need a pin to pull them out of their shell. I cannot get my family to eat pressed ox tongue as they believe a cow can lick its own nose. They do however seem most happy to eat eggs!

Come on Michelle. This is also a country that enjoys something called blood pudding. Brown Sauce sounds quite tasty by comparison.

Nice bits. Brits long known for their wonderful cuisine much like the Scots Boiled Rock soup. “First start with a rock.”
: “Open communication and transparency is especially important to European consumers.”
Might be a leftover slam at US ‘hidden’ subprime mess that
Europe for so long blamed for their own problems. Hence they
could avoid issues they didn’t want to face like lowering
interest rates or mass spending stimulus spending to create
jobs. Then again better to have a bunch of fat happy jobless
Germans loading up on Big Macs & beer than be all lean & mean
using vomit sinks to once again put all of Europe in the
infamous brown sauce.
Coke no idea. It’s the Citi of beverages. At least heard NYC seems to have ended plan to tax sugar beverages for now.

An actual British person could probably tell you better, but I believe brown sauce is considered a standard condiment, sort of like a cross between barbecue and Worcestershire sauce.
