Anybody tried HP Sauce with Guinness?

[Urban Sports]

I bought some today, I really like trying different sauces but the jury is out with this one!



Anybody else tried it and / or have ideas for it rather than just a sandwich?

I started a thread about this last week and got no replies, must be just us two!

it has fantastic potential, but I found it to be too fake tasting, like what you'd expect lab-synthesised guinness to taste like. i tasted it with the ultimate sauce test - a pork pie - and was sorely disappointed.

a pukka version from the likes of tiptree would be fantastic.

You are right, it just not quite there!

Either Guinness doesn't really make for a good sauce or HP don't know how to harness it

Having once worked in Marketing I know that such things are invented by bored MMs looking to get something on their CV and their face in the press.

Tried today - personally couldn't taste the HP, just tastes like Stout sauce... hmmm...

Which shop did you find it in? Your reviews don't sound too positive but I still want to give it a go!

[nevgroom]

Had my (soon to be) stepdaughter buy me some at the weekend - Not tried it yet but will do so this evening..........

Just the local orange supermarket, but should imagine the blue-and-white-stripey one et al do it too.

They do, but as others have said, it isn't that good.

Totally agree. But then I also purchased Lemon & Pepper Salad Cream and Fiery Chilli Tomato Ketchup at the same time, and Heinz definitely have it in the bag with those two!

Why didn't I listen to you guys? That stuff is nasty!

You fool, I bet if a sign says "Wet Paint" you will touch it too!

I tried the Marmite with Guinness and wasn't impressed. Reading this it sounds like I made the right decision to swerve this latest marketing gimmick.

This'll teach me to skim read the post. I very nearly added brown sauce to my pint, now that would of given me a sore head in the morning!

[MonkeyBusiness]

Don't like this at all.

[anonymous-user]

I bought some too as I liked the idea

As others have said not quite right somehow

To me and the OH it tasted a bit like Marmite, I HATE Marmite, the OH likes Marmite

Neither of us like this sauce

[Mr Dave]

Its rotten. Avoid like the plague.

[EarlOfHazard]

I thought it was quite nice, but the barman thought I was nuts.

seriously though, I prefer original HP, and that is to any brown sauce. It's all orrible [sic] compared to HP.

My Missus just bought some of this recently, I was expecting it to be horrid but it tastes absolutely fantastic not quite as nice a the best Brown Sauce which is Tiptree, but very tasty..

[Urban Sports]

Mine is still in the cupboard from when I started the thread!

Didn't really get on with it so much promise as well.
