Ooh Saucy!

Budget label needs a bit of work

Good sauce is essential if you want to add a little 'pizzaz' to your food. A bacon buttie is grand but its even grander when you put some brown sauce on it (and thats steak sauce to any Americans reading.) But don't be fooled into thinking the branded types are always the best. (Believe me, ive been a proper label snob and know too well how foolish this is.) Sure there are good brands on offer like HP and Daddie's Sauce but some of the 'lesser' sauces are just as good (better at times.)
Until earlier today, Id never tried Morrison's own brand brown sauce but out of curiosity I found myself popping a bottle in my trolley alongside my regualr HP. And you know something? Its GOOD! In fact its much tastier than the Guinness version of HP sauce because that tastes like day old flat lager (and in my youth I drank plenty of that so I know what im talking about.) The Tesco own brand is f**king horrid though, you need to stay away from that stuff. Morrison's generally have the better own brand groceries and no im not on their payroll.
So how much did they cost? Well HP Guinness was £2.74p while Morrison's own brand was just 38p. Normally with a price difference like that, I run for the hills (or at least to the pricier label) because when something is that much cheaper I get very wary and think it must be slop (theres the brand snobbery again.) But fear not hungry mosher! This time the supermarkets own brand is a winner. Now where did I put that bacon?
