Those who know me will tell you that my absolute favourite television show is Coronation Street. I’m a long time fan of the show and I’ve followed it steadily since the the mid ’90s. When www.brownsauce.org first came about, I started to look to Corrie (as we fans call it) for glimpses of our favourite sauce having made its way into the daily lives of the people of Weatherfield. I thought this sauce - so embedded into the British lifestyle would be easy to spot. I was wrong!?

On the show, one can occasionally spot a bottle of the brown stuff on a kitchen table or at Roys Rolls. The bottles are often obscured (purposefully no doubt) or they’ll take the form of a generic brown squeeze bottle. Who do they think they’re fooling anyway? And while brown sauce does play a part of the show, it remains in the background and is only very rarely addressed directly. That is until now.

This past weekend, an episode of Coronation Street featured brown sauce front & center along with the two regular characters Leanne & Danny as they sit munching on toast having just spent the night together in a hotel. And while this site most certainly does not endorse the relationship brewing between Leanne & Danny, the conversation which results between these two is quite healthy indeed…

My personal thoughts on this are that the Coronation Street exectutives should partner with HP Foods to bring out HP Sauce into the open on the show. Afterall, there are few things more British than good old Coronation Street & HP Sauce!

*My appologies to those who will find this old news. Coronation Street airs some 9 months behind here in Canada. Please don’t write me with spoilers to the show!
