Daddies Favourite

 

This image was created for Macro Mondays # Condiment.

 

A fried egg on a finger of toast, topped with a dollop of brown sauce.

I used a 2 inch wide cutter to cut around the edges of the egg to make the whole image, including negative space, just slightly less than 3 inches.

 

I would like to thank Julius V for kindly providing the following information.

a wonderful macro and excellent details Jacqueline

I know where the egg came from but Daddies Sauce ??

 

In 1899 Edwin Samson Moore the owner of the Midland Vinegar Company Aston Cross Birmingham made a visit to one of his customers who owed him a debt for vinegar. That man was Frederick Gibson Garton a Nottingham grocer who had a small sauce factory at the rear of his premises. The recently published book HP Sauce My Ancestors Legacy tells the story of how Mr Samson Moore on visiting Mr Garton saw a sauce brewing in the back copper. Mr Garton explained it was his new sauce called HP Sauce. Samson Moore cancelled the debt and paid Mr Garton £150 approx £20,000 in today's money for the recipe of HP Sauce and also other sauces including Daddies Sauce.
