Brown is the new White Snooker player Jimmy White has changed his name by deed poll to Jimmy Brown. All in the name of HP Sauce...

Apologies for the UKNEWSFilter, but this gave me a chuckle.

  • Who is sponsoring the pink ball?
  • Er, for us USAians, what does brown sauce taste like? I'm guessing like A1 steak sauce.
  • "A very British condiment...HP sauce does not taste like peanut butter or jello or worms."
  • It is best used, in my opinion, on sausage butties, cheese on toast, scrambled egg and corned beef hash. Also in my opinion, brown sauce should never meet bacon butties or fish and chips. The world would implode.
  • Although I understand very few words in this post, I am now hungry as balls.
  • No shit. Corned beef hash and eggs would settle in very well right now.
  • My brother puts red sauce on his pizza, his steak, his fish fingers and his pork chops. He probably uses it as shower gel and to shave with. Kitfisto, brown sauce on butties is definitely the way forward.
  • A nice big fried egg, sitting on top of the crispy hash, ready to spill its golden yokey goodness all over the top as you slice into it, then a smidgen of sauce, and it's party on the tongue time!!!
  • yeah, squid, it's kind of a cross between A1 and brown gravy.
  • and it's ubiquitous. (i love that word.)
  • Obvious Marketing Tie-In: If importing a shipment of Brown Sauce to the US from the UK, always use UPS. "What can brown sauce do for you?" Either that, or give away a free bottle with every Hewlett-Packard computer or printer.
  • Is it the same as Worcestershire sauce (which we kids called black sauce)? Because that's awesome on beef stew, eggs, and butties.
  • I recall it's not quite as sour as Worcestershire sauce. Personally I still like brown gravy. Just had an awesomely large meal. My classmate and I had a "reunion" dinner (a traditional Chinese dinner held on the last night of the Chinese New Year), and we are stuffed. Had hotpot and just kept throwing stuff into the boiling soup, ladling it out and stuffing our faces. Stuffed. The thought of food now makes me ill. I can't wait till we do it again fifteen days from now.
  • "I'd like to buy a bottle of sauce." "Certainly, sir, HP?" "No thanks, I'll pay cash."
  • I love HP sauce.
  • Oh no my friend, that name belongs to the god father of funk, James brown. this white fellow can't do that. you brits are as bad as the yanks, eh? ready to change your name for a few dollars? And if you want a real brown sauce, you have to take a stew pot full of calf bones, fill it with water, and cook + reduce till the sauce is one tenth of original volume. Fry shall shallots, add red wine + veal stock and voila. screw this bottled stuff, it's for peasants.
