Bright Idea

You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.

 

Since migrating from England in 1955, my parents always still used HP Sauce, a legacy passed on now as I can't live without it.

 

The original recipe for HP Sauce was invented and developed by Frederick Garton, a grocer from Nottingham in 1895.

 

He called the sauce HP because he had heard that a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament had begun serving it.

 

HP Sauce has a malt vinegar base, blended with tomato, dates, tamarind extract, sweetener and spices, notably one of the few sauces using tamarind.

 

It usually is used as an adjunct to hot or cold savoury food, or as an ingredient in soups or stews.

 

It is now owned and produced by H.J. Heinz in Elst, the Netherlands, although HP Sauce is still produced in the UK (in Sachet form) at H.J. Heinz's Telford Factory.

 

It will be on my dinner TONIGHT.

 

For Fulla T -

SOOC - exposure bias about -2 to get rid of the bright ceiling down light, and flash bias about -1 so that the bottle wasn't washed out. I wanted to keep the highlight just on the bottle. Bottle sitting on the edge of the kitchen bench, and held the camera down low below bench height to get the angle.
