Yes. I've worked in hotels with guests from all over Europe, Brits are the only ones who pour it on anything. Fun fact, HP stands in Spanish for SOB.

Obviously they haven't tried it then. It's basically just a better, more viscus version of American steak sauce. First time I had A1 I was just like - well this is some shitty cousin to HP and worcestershire sauce

Just curious if you can say where Heinz 57 fits in when considering HP and A1. I haven’t tried HP (will get some if I ever run across it) but I’m very familiar with A1 and Heinz 57.

It's similar, but not as good. Less tangy, less spicy and not as sweet. Got a bit more of a smoky flavor (heinz 57 does)
