Brown sauce is a condiment commonly served with food in the United Kingdom and Ireland, normally dark brown in color. It is a quintessential British condiment and has been around since the late 19th century. The most popular commercialized version is HP Sauce, which is always offered, along with tomato ketchup, as an accompaniment to a full English breakfast. Brown sauce is a cold, thick, dark, table-pouring sauce of finely pureed fruit, vinegar, and sharp spices. The taste is either tart or sweet, and it is often associated with the pomp of the British Empire. Brown sauce is not subtle, and there is no skimping on full-bodied spices such as cloves, ginger cinnamon, and cayenne. The main ingredients of HP Sauce are tomatoes and tamarind extract, and it was named after Londons Houses of Parliament. Other popular brands of brown sauce include Daddies, OK Sauce, and Wilkin & Sons.
