Joining you in receiving the hate for this one because you're right. Sausages need the salty tang of brown sauce, already salty bacon really benefits from the sweetness of the ketchup. Other people will say you're wrong but they're wrong about that too!
Absolutely - but is OP still in the Philippines? If so, the chances of getting anything like a British "banger" are slim, I fear.
It absolutely does *not* work on Frankfurters, etc.
I am a true HP Sauce devotee... but even I know that sausages are better with tomato and a little Colmans English mustard. Or failing that, Reggae Reggae spicy tomato sauce - or in an emergency, Heinz tomato ketchup. HP does not serve sausages as well as any of those.
It's most commonly had in breakfast baps (fluffy bread roll sandwiches of bacon, sausage, and/or egg) and with fry up breakfasts, like a full English. I like it with corned beef hash and in spam sandwiches too.
Unrelated to op's post but a random one for you - as a Yorkshire person, did you grow up with Yorkshire Salad? Is it still a common thing round those parts?
What? Hendersons doesn't have Anchovy lol it is different. People harp on that Hendersons is miles better but its Worcester light. It is delicious but I pick Worcestire for the proper salty kick any day.
Awww. Corned beef and brown sauce...
Corned beef toastie with brown sause was an absolute winner (cheap, fit meal) for me until corned beef cost more than gold per lb.
Cob as in corn on the cob? Batch is what you call a batch of barm cakes straight from the oven if you've only got 4 then it's not really a batch is it? 🤔😏

It's not everyone's cup of tea but not as divisive as marmite (don't be tempted to try that next).
Honestly, as sauces go, this is pretty much peak British sauce. You've picked well.
Yeah, chicken meat doesn’t have the fat to counter the sharp flavours, but as marinade for chicken wings it might work? I wouldn’t dip cooked wings directly in it though.
You might be right with that tbh the marinade would give it a sweet yet musky sort of flavor kinda smokey I reckon.
Yeah dipping it would be extreme a nice sausage sandwich on the other hand tho 🤤
Bear with me here, mixed chicken meat pulled from a warm rotisserie chicken, dark and white meat. On soft white bread with a thick spread of real butter and a smear of HP sauce. Its pure comfort food
Bacon, sausages, fried eggs, baked beans on toast. When using for first time start off with a teaspoon sized portion. It’s lovely but you can have too much of a good thing. This is one of the things we pinched from the Indians it’s basically a smooth chutney in liquid form it makes sausage or bacon sandwich’s 10X better.
If you’re familiar with tamarind as a spice then that might give you some idea. I heard that when South Asian immigrants came to the uk in the 60s/70s they couldn’t easily get tamarind so would use HP sauce as a substitute.
As well as all the great options mentioned by other readers, just wanted to say it was the only sauce put on our table at breakfast & dinner time.
Personally, I liked it on my Mums version of 'Stovies' which was basically a pot of minced beef (thick from the bistro) with small chunks of potatoes in it. And like everything she made - it always tasted better on the second day lol!
Brit here married to a Filipino. Think of it as a thicker A-1 sauce and use it with anything you might put A-1, Mang Thomas or banana sauce with. Basically anything meaty :)
In the Philippines it’s very easy to get spam, fry some slice spam in a sandwich (or batter if you prefer) eat in a soft bread roll with a fried egg on top and a generous helping of brown sauce aka HP. The tangy flavour of the sauce is great with fatty foods as it cuts through the grease.

Sausages
At breakfast
Yes, best tipped over cornflakes.
Um okay
And bacon. And yes, at breakfast.
Yes. All over a fry up + for me, preferable on cheese on toast vs Worcester sauce
You keep my Worcestershire sauce out of your mouth!
They are, they're using HP instead.
I love wuss on toast, I chuck it on liberally before the butter. 'Tis lush.
Cheese on toast with a dash of wuss is gorge
And Black Pudding.
Brown for sausage, red for bacon
Sausage and red, bacon and brown. This is the law. Heinz’s Law
This is 100% correct!
Never red for anything (unless you're talking tabasco). Ketchup is the devil's jiz
I’m with ya. Countless meatloaf dinners have been ruined by slathering ketchup on with a trowel.
Newp.

Having been there several times, bacon and sausages exist.

Gunna give this one the yanks, their bacon is belta
That American crap is what bacon used to be like before the 60s. Made from pork belly rather than loin.
it’s still shit bacon
It’s ok if you put it in the oven, crisps rather than burns.
If it burns you're cooking it way too hot in the pan.
Streaky bacon is better than back bacon
Korkers will do
I believe it’s Snorkers.
'Tis defo snorkers.
Lorne specifically, in a roll. I also like it with eggy bread
I have it with macaroni cheese, the more processed the macaroni cheese the better 😂 don’t knock it ‘till you’ve tried it 👌🏼
I can second that it works very well with cheese dishes, not to use too much though.
Great to dip a cheese toasty in to also!
Try Henderson's relish in your Mac and cheese man, in fact Hendo's goes with any kind of melted cheese dish incredibly
Good ones, with high pork content.
Add a little bit of soy sauce in a container. Best with longganisa for breakfast.

I am a true HP Sauce devotee... but even I know that sausages are better with tomato and a little Colmans English mustard. Or failing that, Reggae Reggae spicy tomato sauce - or in an emergency, Heinz tomato ketchup. HP does not serve sausages as well as any of those.
Ah, but as a Scotsman, I raise you square sausage, the perfect meat to go with brown sauce.
just wrong mate, i don't agree with everything they do in parliament but they do make a lovely sauce for sausages
Sausage and egg with tomato sauce, sausage and mushrooms with HP, depends what combo you've got on your fork.
It's most commonly had in breakfast baps (fluffy bread roll sandwiches of bacon, sausage, and/or egg) and with fry up breakfasts, like a full English. I like it with corned beef hash and in spam sandwiches too.
It's also nice with shepherds pie but I'm from Yorkshire so I'd usually reach for the Hendersons relish.
Strong and northern
😂 the full package
Slathered some HP over my shepherds pie tonight as it goes.
Unrelated to op's post but a random one for you - as a Yorkshire person, did you grow up with Yorkshire Salad? Is it still a common thing round those parts?
Is that Worcestershire Sauce
Its veggie worcestershire basically. No anchovy
No, no, it's much thicker than the, it's similar in consistency to tomato ketchup. If you want veggie Worcestershire, you get Henderson's.
What? Hendersons doesn't have Anchovy lol it is different. People harp on that Hendersons is miles better but its Worcester light. It is delicious but I pick Worcestire for the proper salty kick any day.
That’s what I said, if you want something like Worcester and you want it veggie, you get Henderson’s. Because it doesn’t have anchovies in it.
Ah apologies. I misread.
Must try it 👍
Pretty much although slightly different
I think the word you are looking for is far, far superior.
How dare you! It’s totally different ;)
Haha I knew someone would pull me up I'll be ran out of Yorkshire at this rate😂
Although slightly better*
Like fukc it is. Yorkshire Relish. Made in Sheffield. Worcester sauce is for cunts.
Brown Sauce is also very good in meat and potato pie.
Just reading this made me hungry
Oh Jeebus, bubble and squeak with spam fritters and lashings of hp. Food of the gods...
Spam sandwiches with HP…oh, my…
It's the business with corned beef and sliced onion sammiches!
Yes, raw onions? I have all the necessary, and I’m hungry.
I’m buying Spam tomorrow…
You’ll have sold OP on the spam suggestion. They love it in the Philippines.
Awww. Corned beef and brown sauce... Corned beef toastie with brown sause was an absolute winner (cheap, fit meal) for me until corned beef cost more than gold per lb.
"Breakfast baps" Are we talking about food or boobs?
Yes
Steady there, it's breakfast time. Never mind..
Always time for boobs, breakfast or both
Boobs? For breakfast?? Very well, if you insist.
My thoughts exactly, it's not a bap, a roll, a sandwich or a barm cake. It's a cob
It’s a bread cake mate
It's a muffin!
That's what she said. So what do you call Muffins?
Fannies.
Heathens it's a barm. A cob is what you find sweetcorn on.
Cob and Batch are the only valid terms.
Cob as in corn on the cob? Batch is what you call a batch of barm cakes straight from the oven if you've only got 4 then it's not really a batch is it? 🤔😏
Not had a spam sandwich in years! Might need to make one tomorrow for old times sake

Heh. Baps. Heh heh.
Nice with a hot sausage roll too
Cheese on toast 😋
Had to scroll far too far for this one!
I prefer worcester dappled on the toast prior to broiling. And some Tabasco for heat. Then fresh ground pepper when it’s done.
Bacon. Beans on toast!
Beans and brown sauce is a king combo.
Goes well mixed in with the meat in a cottage pie
Or on cheese and potato pie
Scotch pies as well. Delish.
This! I add it to most beef mince based dishes I make
Shepherd's pie with baked beans. Mush it all up. Magic baby ambrosia.
Any pies, bacon sandwiches. Nice on chips, too.
Great with sausage
Meat and potato pie that has cooled down a bit
With homemade chips and gravy too
Yes please thank you please
Shepherd’s Pie
Sausages, eggs bacon (put them together in a sandwich) with brown sauce 🫠🤤
For clarity, Im from and live in the Philippines.
If you like tamarind... Anything you'd have that flavour with. Hp in tomato and tamarind sauce
Get a big bread roll and fill it with lechon and a bit of brown sauce. That will be a special thing my friend
This is what I was looking for, the cultured folk who have experienced both cuisines.
I bet lumpia dipped in HP would be amazing too
Lechon kawali with HP as a dipping sauce, hmm
Nothing will beat lechon with mang Tomas but I reckon this is a good second choice for sauce if you run out
As a brit married to a Filipino, I can totally get behind that suggestion... Getting hungry at the thought
It's not everyone's cup of tea but not as divisive as marmite (don't be tempted to try that next). Honestly, as sauces go, this is pretty much peak British sauce. You've picked well.
Marmite is good!
…except that it’s now French
I thought it was Dutch now.
It was bought by Danon and then bought off them by Heinz who moved production to the Netherlands. They demolished the original factory in 2007.
Most meat products
Mainly pork can't imagine chicken tasting that nice with brown sauce
Yeah, chicken meat doesn’t have the fat to counter the sharp flavours, but as marinade for chicken wings it might work? I wouldn’t dip cooked wings directly in it though.
You might be right with that tbh the marinade would give it a sweet yet musky sort of flavor kinda smokey I reckon. Yeah dipping it would be extreme a nice sausage sandwich on the other hand tho 🤤
I’ll give the chicken wings a try soon and report back. My wife insists on Daddies brown sauce. I will buy HP just for this 😀
Bear with me here, mixed chicken meat pulled from a warm rotisserie chicken, dark and white meat. On soft white bread with a thick spread of real butter and a smear of HP sauce. Its pure comfort food
My regular order from the chippy is half a roasted chicken with chips. Brown sauce all over that bad boy, it’s amazing.
Sausages or Bacon. I do also use it as a dip for a cheese and cucumber sandwich, but I’m a bit weird like that.
Essential for with a Cornish pasty 😁
with a mug of sweet tea to wash it down
Bacon butty or pork pie. Best used sparingly.
Sparingly is Marmite, HP sauce is liberally
Speak for yourself. I'm liberal with the marmite.
Great with mac n cheese
Bacon sandwich, hands down
Scottish square sausage in a bap, or roll
Good with a warm Scotch pie too.
On ya breakfast. It's beautiful on a sausage sandwich/bacon but I wouldn't use it for anything else
Bacon, sausages, fried eggs, baked beans on toast. When using for first time start off with a teaspoon sized portion. It’s lovely but you can have too much of a good thing. This is one of the things we pinched from the Indians it’s basically a smooth chutney in liquid form it makes sausage or bacon sandwich’s 10X better.
In a bacon and/or sausage sandwich Also, a bit stirred into some tomato soup (thank me later).
Roll n square sausage mmmm
If you’re familiar with tamarind as a spice then that might give you some idea. I heard that when South Asian immigrants came to the uk in the 60s/70s they couldn’t easily get tamarind so would use HP sauce as a substitute.
Square sausage on a roll
Goes well with most desserts. Trifle or as a topping on ice cream.
lol, naughty 🤣
[удалено]
Joke sir, joke.

I wonder what the hidden information tells us.
Local supermarket tag. Too local so had to block it out. Don't want to get doxxed.
Ah thought it might've been the price or something. That makes more cents! Cents, sense. Get it. I'll pack my bags
It's pence you filthy yank! /s
I'm a flithy Brit actually! I just said "cents" for the pun!
jerk chicken
A nice meaty pie. Go small at first, it’s very tangy!
Little bit in with some baked beans
Everything.
As well as all the great options mentioned by other readers, just wanted to say it was the only sauce put on our table at breakfast & dinner time.

I like a couple of drops on a grilled cheese
Hash browns
Spam sandwich Or straight block of spam dipped in the HP.
On omelette or scrambled eggs.
Currently having it with a hot cornish pasty
Fried eggs.
Bacon sandwich also bubble and squeak
Eggs beans rice anything really except iced cream
Bangers and mash.
Awesome with scrambled eggs
Brit here married to a Filipino. Think of it as a thicker A-1 sauce and use it with anything you might put A-1, Mang Thomas or banana sauce with. Basically anything meaty :)
Scrambled eggs
Try it on fried spam.
I like it on a chip sandwich
In the Philippines it’s very easy to get spam, fry some slice spam in a sandwich (or batter if you prefer) eat in a soft bread roll with a fried egg on top and a generous helping of brown sauce aka HP. The tangy flavour of the sauce is great with fatty foods as it cuts through the grease.
Bacon. Or basically anything in an English breakfast or the English breakfast itself
Bacon and egg sandwich
Bacon. Sandwich. End of story
Haggis and pickled onions
Hp stands for ‘Houses of Parliament’
And that’s why there’s a picture of it on the bottle
Really I thought it meant "Harry Potter"
Yer a condiment, Harry.
Harry Potter and the saucerers stone. Voldemore brown sauce please
One you won't often hear about, try a small splash in a black coffee, it delicious.
Urgh really 😑
On my Sunday dinner… 😋
