OMG!!

I bought HP sauce last week for the first time in ages and threw it straight in the bin. It tasted of almost nothing whilst being cloyingly sweet at the same time. My broadband connection is horribly dodgy tonight so I daren't click on the link to see what's going on, but it's a tragedy I tells ya !!

Looking forward to THAT ad campaign, though.

And "The Ejaculate and Cow" is a brilliant name for a pub.

Specially piped in to the Netherlands via the "coming over here, taking all our sauces" pipeline no doubt. Just so gypsies can wee in it and then claim benefits.

It's still produced in satchel form in the UK.

But very dissapointed main production moved to Holland. Whatever happened to Labours British jobs for British people?

Thank you Tony Blair!

I love HP sauce. No bacon and tomato packed baguette of mine ever goes without a dash of HP.

Yes and a lot of things that are thought of as American are actually British, owned by Unilever, Reckitt Beckinser or GSK.

Do you think it is right that such a British institution will become American?

Disgusting quite frankly. First they muck our chocolate up and shrink the sizes now they mess around with our HP!

I vote we boycott HP from now on.

The parent corporation doesn't really determine the national origin of a product. Company ownership switches all the time anyway. Otherwise a product could be British today, Italian in 10 years, German in 20 years, and British again in 30 years. I still consider Budweiser to be American don't you? The cultural origin of a product is that from which it was originally conceived and manufactured.

Probably another Heinz publicity stunt, like when they threatened to stop making Salad Cream, they will no doubt switch back to the original recipe in due course.

Also made by Heinz, in the same Dutch factory.

In that case you should consider Budweiser Czech, because it originated in Ceske Budejovice, or Bohmisch Budweis as the Germans say.
