Is there any product I can buy here in the states that is similar to brown sauce? Have you actually seen real brown sauce for sale in any US supermarkets?

Also... I used Simple shampoo and conditioner in the UK (Boots also had their own brand of fragrance-free), it was easy to find, available everywhere, reasonably priced. I can't find anything similar here, dye and fragrance free, that doesn't cost a bomb. Have you seen any Simple-like products here at a decent price?

Thankyou!!!

Just don't get drunk and mix the sauce and the shampoo up.

Worse bacon sarnie I ever tasted.

Heinz you bastards :thumbdown:

And a matter of time before Kraft f*** Cadbury up one way or another.

We buy, (Thinks its the small bottle) in Publix FL, $5.99. Way overpriced, but got have it. IN NYC, Food Emporium (A&P) Brit section sold it or Brit stores.

Also seen it in some Chinese, super markets.

HP also contains HFCS. Glucose-fructose syrup is the same thing as HFCS under a different name. HP here in the UK at least has Glucose-fructose syrup as the third ingredient.

We've found Lea & Perrins Steak Sauce preferable to A-1 and a good stand-in for HP or Daddy's. Does have HFCS as 2nd ingredient but tastes better. L&P kind of hard to find around Memphis area - had to stock up in other cities when on holiday. Publix a good source in Nashville. :D

Oh thank you!! I'll have a look this weekend.
I did look for Lea & Perrins steak sauce yesterday but didn't find it yet. I'll keep looking.
Or I'll do some amazon shopping because now I wish I had some Bisto gravy too. The list keeps getting longer of "stuff I wish I'd brought with me". :-)
