They say that you should learn something new everyday. Well today I found out that HP Sauce (the best sauce) and Daddies Sauce (the second best sauce) both originated in my home city of Nottingham.

Wikipedia says the following. . . . . . . .
“Frederick Gibson Garton had a grocers and provisions shop on Milton Street, in Nottingham. He was given a recipe for a brown sauce, by one of his suppliers, that had been obtained in India. He used this recipe for the brown sauce in his pickles and sauce factory in New Basford. This was located at the rear of his home in Sandon Street. Its ingredients included vinegar, water, tomato puree, garlic, tamarind, ground mace, cloves and ginger, shallots, cayenne pepper, raisins, soy, flour and salt.”

If you get the chance follow the Wikipedia link and read up on the history. Absolutely fascinating.
