[Food] Do you know what HP, as in the sauce, stands for?

[Iggle Piggle]

I thought I had no idea

I do, however, know what time the clock was set to on a bottle having - like @Bozza - got that completely wrong at a pub quiz which led me to the right answer.

What does the HP in HP sauce stand for?


Houses of Parliament

The HP stands for Houses of Parliament, as depicted on the label, a name Garton gave his invention when he heard that it was seen in one of the House of Commons restaurants. The sauce itself was made from a blend of vinegar, fruit and spices.

Wiki never lies, well, almost never.

begs the question what was it called before, what did they ask for in the Commons restaurant

Hire Purchase? All my furniture is on HP.

Is that right?

Heart Problems?

I have always been dimly aware that there was a scribbly drawing underneath the text of the label, but had never bothered to look at it.

It’s suddenly become clear.

Use to make it in Market Harborough - as in the Spanish fans at the Harborough thread the other day.
