Bollocks to HP sauce then.

I suppose that's what's known as 'outsaucing' then

Didn't they have an advert on TV a while back, something along the lines of 'Proper British'?

Cheaper in every sense of the word. Except price, probably. Remember guys, cheaper production means higher profits and happy shareholders not lower consumer prices!

I wonder how much long established food products have changed over the years in reality.

Unfortuntely there's no real way of telling by taste because even if you do thikn you remember things tasteing better years ago you're probably being fooled as your taste appreciation is supposed to change over the years.

It's like the ministry of truth but for food. There's no way of telling.

Weird thing was, at the ideal home show a few years ago, me and the missus went up to one of those overpriced food product stands and tried some sausage they were flogging for a fiver for 8.

These were just normal pork sausages, nothing fancy but as soon as we tried a bit we both immediately burst out with something to the effect of " Wow, these are exactly how sausages tasted years ago!".

I wish I'd made a note of the company. Even at a fiver it would have been worth getting some just for nostalgia value.

I think you now can understand at least something about my constant
disappointment for things sold out of Italy as "Italian food/flavour"

Bollocks to that, 90% of the "Italian stuff" around the world probably not
even seen Italy by accident and unfortunatelly some if it IS really produced
by some sub-companies in Italy but with a quality standard aimed
"at the foreing market" (i.e. it would be so crap in Italy nobody would buy it as it happends in fact).

It's a real shame/pity when something "so traditional" gets spoiled/moved
for pure economic reasons

I wonder then exactly "why in Holland has to be cheaper", if the labour
cost is really so cheaper there and/or if the ingredients used and/or the
process is cheaper/not the same.

There's a change in tastes sure but it's an IMPOSED change in tastes, it's
not true that "people don't like the good stuff" but it's true that "it's really
hard to find the real good stuff".

It's really a pure shame when something so traditional and "regional"
is moved .. yes sure .. like to say that "The famous ham of Sauris will be
manufactured in Poland" .. ok .. but it won't be "the famous ham or Sauris"
any more .. it will be "a good (hopefully) ham made in Poland".

So if HP sauce is not manufactured any more in UK .. well .. it's not
really "HP sauce with the house of parliament" any more, they should
call it "Dutch sauce" then and put a windmill.

Bah .. welcome to the 2006 ..

Now HP beans will start tasting more like crappy Heinz beans to save on costs (Yes, Heinz beans are THE WORST BEANS EVER and if you think different you need help, soon). And the Brown sauce will probably go down a similar route. Oh joy. Joyeous fucking joy of joyeous joyness! Wooty-doodly-doo! So happy I could shit, really.

Even when EVERY frigging post is a bag of pointless frozen-wank-jazz just to up the post count?

Personal opinions + frankness?
ok ~ post counts are a bank of toss and encourage pointless noise, ok?

Get a mincer, some intestines, and make your own. Don't be tempted to leave out the fat, it'll be in the recipe for a reason. Utterly gorgeous.
