HP All Sauce was magic. I remember buying it 25-30 years ago. It was the nicest sauce I have ever tasted. ITV was showing an old episode of Coronation Street and there was a bottle of it on the table in Jack and Vera’s house

My ex husband used to work for H.P in Norfolk. He used to bring All Sauce home from the fatory shop. I loved it and you are right there is nothing out three like it.It was tangy and a bit fruity and was magic on sausage and bacon sarnies. I have no idea why it was discontinued, but i wish one of the other saue making companiescould find the recipe and re launch it. I still miss the stuff now. C’Mon Heinz

I would love to see this back on the shelves! It went really well with a piece ‘n’ square slice sausage!
I might be wrong, but I have a theory about the ingredients, and hence the name “all sauce” – I get the feeling it may have been a combination of HP Fruity Sauce, brown sauce and tomato sauce. Call me mad, but I might just buy these and have a go at some mixing!
Reggae Reggae is quite close, but a lot spicier and not as tangy.
