Chef Sauce

A bottle at Tilbury's 'Clinker Beach', a bit of exposed landfill site containing rubbish from London, from 100 or more years ago...

The history of bricks is a rabbit hole and so, probably, is the history and etymology of brown sauce, which may have been 'invented' in 1921. Now that I'm retired I could spend my time writing a learned dissertation on the subject and I expect I would become famous and much loved.

 

"Chef" sauce may be a brand as well as a generic term...hmmm, too risky !

 

The bottle rests on a bed of shingle, natural to the area and is probably around 100 years old, and is filled with mud and grit from the river.
