HP Sauce is a condiment; a popular brown sauce formerly produced in Aston, Birmingham, England, by HP Foods but now produced by H.J. Heinz in Elst, the Netherlands. It has a malt vinegar base blended with fruit and spices and is usually eaten as an adjunct to hot or cold savoury food, or used as an ingredient in soups or stews. It is the most well known brand of brown sauce in Canada and the United Kingdom as well as the best selling, with 71% of the UK market. The original recipe for HP Sauce was invented and developed by Frederick Gibson Garton, a grocer from Nottingham. He registered the name H.P. Sauce in 1896. Garton called the sauce HP because he had heard that a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament had begun serving it. For many years the bottle labels have carried a picture of the Palace of Westminster. Garton sold the recipe and HP brand for the sum of £150 and the settlement of some unpaid bills to Edwin Samson Moore. Moore, the founder of the Midlands Vinegar Company (the forerunner of HP Foods) subsequently launched HP Sauce in 1903. Some stories suggest that the name HP was derived from the name Harry Palmer[2]. Palmer was said to have invented the recipe and sold the product as "Harry Palmer's Famous Epsom Sauce". The story then goes that Palmer, an avid gambler at the Epsom Races, was forced to sell the recipe to Garton to cover his debts. However, there is no evidence in the official history of the brand to show Palmer existed, or had any claim to the development of the recipe. It also seems unlikely that Garton, a grocer from the Midlands would have come in contact with a gambler from the South of England. For many years the description on the label was in both English and French. During a 1960's BBC television broadcast Marty Feldman sang the French version in the style of Jacques Brel. This performance is included in the DVD "The Best of Marty Feldman", and the song was also included on Feldman's 1969 album I Feel a Song Going Off. The sauce gained brief fame when it was reportedly used by pagans during solstice celebrations. The Aston factory (at 52°29′56″N 1°53′06″W / 52.4989, -1.8849) was once bisected by the A38(M) motorway and had a pipeline, carrying vinegar over the motorway, from the Top Yard to the main Tower Road factory site. The Top Yard site was subsequently closed, and vinegar was not brewed on the Aston site during the last few years of production there. Ansells' brewery was adjacent to the factory. What are the ingredients of HP Sauce? Here are the ingredients as listed on the bottle (original variety). Of course the actual process is secret. Water Vinegar Dates Glucose-Fructose Black Strap Molasses Tomato Paste Modified Cornstarch Salt Orange Juice Concentrate Onion Spices Tamarind Extract Apple Juice Concentrate Garlic Chili Peppers Mustard Flour
