They did the test in 2018, too. No surprises there, either.
Consider yourself charmed.
That stuff is more like marinara sauce than ketchup. Bad marinara sauce, at that.

After seeing this topic, I decided to replace the four-year-old bottle of Sir Kensington ketchup. It’s nowhere to be found here. I looked on their website, and it isn’t mentioned there either. I wrote to them from the website.

You mean this one?
Great, but I don’t need 148oz of any condiment. That site does have single-serving packets, though, in a reasonable quantity. The Sir Kensington site doesn’t show any ketchups at the retail level.

Well, it’s been discontinued.
May be time to stock up.
That, and you never when the next Zombie apocalypse will strike us.

Huh. I guess I survived the first Zombie apocalypse and didn’t even know it. Yay, me!
HP sauce on a bacon sandwich. Not new in the UK, but new to me

The bacon butty, the official sandwich of England.

Funny thing is, I have visited the UK over a dozen times, and I didn’t ever notice a bacon butty on a menu, or see anyone eating one. I had read about chip butties and bacon butties but I hadn’t seen any in the wild.
My first bacon butty was in Toronto in July 2022.
The English sandwiches I have ordered over and over again:
Coronation chicken sandwich
Prawn and avocado or prawn salad. Cucumber and cream cheese tea sandwiches.
The English Sandwich I’ve tried a few times:
Cheese and Pickle. I haven’t acquired a taste for Branston Pickle
I also haven’t acquired a taste for Marmite or Vegimite, so I’m not trying a Vegimite Sandwich (Australian or British)

Prawn/shrimp and avocado is one of if not the most popular of sandwiches at Subway in Japan. I’d never seen one anywhere in the US and wondered where they got the idea from for the sandwich. Now I at least have somewhat of a clue as to where it may have come from…

I love combining avocado with shrimp, crab or lobster. I make a nice seafood app with any of those combinations, just lightly dressed with mayo or crème fraîche, tarragon or fresh dill, a little lemon juice, maybe a touch of cayenne or hot Hungarian paprika, sometimes finely diced celery for kronch

I love cheddar and Branston pickle. When I have lived in places where Branston was unavailable and the internet had not come into being, I’d make a sandwich of brown mustard, mango chutney, a thin slice or two of bell pepper, and cheddar. It is quite good, but if you do not like Branston, you probably ought to pass.

That is indeed a great combination in a salad. I’d just never seen something like that on any sandwich at a Subway or possibly anywhere else.
Which kind of reminds me of when our family moved from NYC to LA in 1969 and we went to an LA area coffee shop chain called “Tiny Naylor’s” and saw something called a “tuna melt” on the menu. No such dish appeared on NYC menus at the time and my father was both intrigued and repulsed at the same time. My father, never an adventurous eater, actually tried one. From that point on tuna melts became a family favorite.

I just looked that up.
Is it any good?
I’ve never thought of bacon needing either HP sauce or ketchup.
But who knows. I might be game.

It’s good!
Emmer Bakery on Harbord in Toronto usually has it on the breakfast menu. Not traditional, in that it’s on sourdough bread. It’s very good. Messy.
I wouldn’t put ketchup on it. HP or Brown Sauce!

I recall that in the late sixties and early seventies crab Louie served on halved avocados was on a lot of menus. It was a very good combo, especially with big pieces of Dungeness crab.
