In your Refrigerator | Pad Patter 8.11

@bestcee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Sauce We had it when we first went to Ireland/UK in 2015 ... I am thrilled to find it in the grocery (also Amazon is much cheaper) ... so it is an alternate of Ketchup... Heinz ended up taking over the production of it. I use it for a lot of things I woud use ketchup on.

HP Sauce is a brown sauce,[2] the main ingredients of which are Tomatoes and tamarind extract. The sauce was originally produced in the United Kingdom and is currently made by the Heinz Company in the Netherlands. It was named after London's Houses of Parliament. After making its first appearance on British dinner tables in the late 19th century, HP Sauce went on to become an icon of British culture.[3] It was the best-selling brand of brown sauce in the UK in 2005, with 73.8% of the retail market.[4]

HP Sauce has a tomato base, blended with malt vinegar and spirit vinegar, sugars (molasses, glucose-fructose syrup, sugar), dates, cornflour, rye flour, salt, spices and tamarind.[5] It is used as a condiment with hot and cold savoury food, and as an ingredient in soups and stews.

The picture on the front of the bottle is a selection of London landmarks including Elizabeth Tower, the Palace of Westminster, and Westminster Bridge.

 

@cfile Could you use HP sauce as a substitute for Worchestershire sauce or are they totally different? I have a recipe where there's supposed to be W-sauce, but since W-sauce has anchovies in it, I can't use it anymore since I turned vegtarian.

Weirdest thing in my fridge is probably Vodka Essence. I guess it's meant to make your moon shine taste like vodka LOL, but I use it if I make a Virgin Mary, to get a bit of vodka taste to it.

Other than that, I guess I have more chili based products then most people: fresh chilis, chili sauce, canned jalapeño, feferoni & chili, sriracha sauce, sambal oelek, goshujang (sp?) sauce, sweet chili sauce ... an probably something else I've forgotten.

 

Thanks! I'll look into that. Always looking for new stuff to boost my food.

 

I have some homemade dog treats that need to be refrigerated.

 

Does fish sauce need to be refrigerated? HP sauce? We keep all these sorts of sauces in the pantry....maybe I should move them?

 

@FarrahJobling Fish Sauce is so salty it can be stored in the pantry. I'd say the same on HP Sauce, but I'm not sure. Just thinking if you don't live where it's too hot, it wouldn't be a problem to store it in the pantry. When I was in the UK, HP sauce was on the tables beside the salt & pepper shakers.

Went to the store today. They didn't have miso paste, but I bought a bottle of HP Sauce. Will try it later this week in some stew or something.

 

Right now oddest thing in my fridge is well... ..you asked for it.. q stool sample

Other weird stuff .. q glow stick ....and two ham bones

 

I am thinking you could... it is thicker than W-Sauce and has a slight sugar to it but I would give it a try

 

Farrah, HP Sauce is like ketchup so I would say no re the frig. I do keep HP in the frig but it is like ketchup and in the UK it is always out and not refrigerated.

I think you are the correct one with keeping them in the pantry

 

The recipe I use calls for white vinegar, water, sugar, which you bring to a boil, then pour over the cukes and onions. I'm going to try it with apple cider vinegar next time.

 

Returning to TLP has effected my life ... Bought HP sauce the other day, and will try it in a stew today. Also - went to the store today ... and NBK's kit on sale had me buying satsumas.

I'm scared to open new threads in the forum now ... what will you have me buying next?!?! LOL

 

It's so good. It is tangy with a bit of sweetness. It is perfect for making a vinaigrette.

 

I'm Nornal Normalson's neighbor. How long does buttermilk powder last? I don't like the vinegaring of milk so much either.
