Well, I tried the HP sauce on my sandwich, and while it was enjoyable, I’m still here in mortal realms.
I did have a rather interesting and unusual dream, where I was riding all around my rural community on a light rail system, which was only accessable, and indeed only visible, to descendents of my 2 x great grandfather. While riding it with my cousins, my dead grandmother showed up. She did not speak to me, but she gave advise to one of my kinsmen who is in the construction business. She gave her opinion on pre-stressed concrete. Then she returned to The Beyond.
Then a dog which barked fire from his nose rather than his mouth came around, and things got hazy after that.
Oh, I dunno, we get both in Australia and even though my American pallet thinks Vegemite tastes like gone-over, distilled soy sauce thicked with dog excrement, I quite like both HP and Ribena.
I stocked up on HP Sauce at the one store I could find it at, a military commissary, of all things, a couple of years ago after being introduced to it by an expat British friend. And no sooner did I do that then it started cropping up in regular grocery stores everywhere. My family won’t eat it, but that’s okay – more for me!
That’s odd - I could have sworn HP (which stands for “Houses of Parliament” though I suspect it’ll now have to be renamed “Staten-Generaal” Sauce for EU regulatory reasons) used to contain Worcestershire sauce. I wonder if they took it out coz of losing the vegematarian market coz of the anchovies.
Anyway, for brekkie this morning I had French bread with Danish bacon, organic fried egg, with chipotle Tabasco, Thai Maggi sauce, and lashings of HP. MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
I’m surprised you could taste the food with all that extra stuff sloshed on it. I thought the original purpose of most sauces was to disguise the taste of bad food .
No, you have got it all wrong there. Silly, silly, daft, daft! Sunday morning is intended for sleeping all through it, and only after that can you do odd things with Bovril, or even with Marmite.
Seriously, though, Bovril on toast? All righty, might be good, I must try it some time.
