Like if you tried to recreate A1 sauce from memory and your memory was really poor and you also had a lot of vinegar that needed used. That's basically it. I found it in the imported foods aisle, tried it with every intention of using it, and ended up throwing away the bottle. Not my cup of tea.

    HP sauce is so much better than A1.

    A1 tastes like someone mixed HP sauce with Ketchup.

    Well that's not how you convince me to hate A1. And given A1 is tomato based while HP is not, that makes sense anyway.

    I really dislike ketchup.

    HP is nice because its intended to be used sparingly, and hence why you found it strong in the vinegar respect.

    Its meant for putting a light drizzel on an egg sandwich, or a dab on a bite of steak. Its not for using in quantity on something.

    In this case I'm guessing it's to conpensate for those super plain potatoes in place of herbs and butter... Not my recommendation for getting a taste of it, for sure. But HP sauce is more popular in Canada. We have A1, but I never see anyone use it.
