YR Sauce.

Where's it gone?seems to have disappeared from the shelves.
I miss the the tangy taste of YR with its multitude of ingredients.

Premier Foods bought the YR (Yorkshire Relish) brand sauces from Chivers in 2007. I think they've discontinued it now though!

The two plastic bottles of it in my cupboard say otherwise.

I still see it in shops, still fairly common, no?

AndyBoBandy

It's still readily available in my local Tesco

ah ok.

Maybe they still sell it in select stores in Ireland so. I wasn't too sure on that. I don't think Musgraves stock it anymore anyway.

Banjo String

Off topic, but Ribena seems to have completely disappeared from my local Tesco. (My kids love the stuff)
And I don't mean they're out of stock euther, the very shelves it used to sit on either have been rebranded.

What's up with that?

A regional thing maybe?

You won't get it in Lidl and Aldi but I do see it in most Irish shops around me.

Not in Dunnes or Supervalue.

Never liked the taste. However it always brings back fond memories of having dinner in my grandparents house. Can still hear their voices and nearly smell the bacon and cabbage.

We used to call white dog ****e, "Gick" when we were kids for some strange reason.

That's been discontinued too due to lack of demand.

What you need is some bill cosby BBQ sauce.

Just picked up a tray from Musgraves Sallynoggin.

Definitely getting harder to come by though. Wonder is it like something that happened with Pikuer Cigars last year. ie. New company bought distribution rights to Pikuer before putting distribution network in place. Couldn't get the fecking things for months.

Sir Osis of Liver.

I think YR sauce,white dog sh1te and Ribena are made by the same factory.

Was the YR not packaged in a glass bottle much thinner than the OP's picture?

Mixing YR Sauce up with HP Sauce?

funnily enough, a local company here that makes orange juice, has recently started to produce YR sauce plus a thing called Goodalls Steak Sauce, which is very similar. I have both in the fridge.

The Lidl Solevita black currant High Juice is a good substitute for Ribena. I also never realised that Ribena is meant to be used within a certain amount of weeks of opening.

Is Ribena still sold in a sticky glass bottle?

This is the one.

It's been replaced by those "0 sugar, 0 carb, 0 fat, 0 calorie" syrups and dressings and sauces. Absolute nonsense.

Yep, I realise now he meant thin bottle, not sauce.

So I was trying to buy some lovely YR sauce; went to Dunnes, Tesco and Supervalu...no joy! Has it been discontinued to anyone's knowledge?

Sorry for resurrecting a four year old thread but I Googled it to see what the issue was. This came up so rather than starting a new one...

YR - Yucky Rectal brown sauce. No thanks!

Chef’s brown sauce is far too sweet, YR is the best by some distance.

Wrong. HP is the best brown sauce.

Among the google results for YR sauce there are several on how you can buy it online.

Sorry, J, but you’re talking out your brown there. While “HP” is certainly nicer than Chef, it’s still not as nice as YR.

Clicking on the Supervalu and Tesco websites, says product is unavailable.

Great! I'm assuming it's just sold out in my local stores due to demand, cos it's so darn tasty.

You're right; light hearted banter is now banded. Brexit, the homeless crisis and the Syrian Civil War topics only now please.

And no laughing or smiling.

Speaking of supermarkets - who buys those jars of baby carrots in water?

Ignore them, P.

I guessing they’re the type of person who’d use tomato sauce in a rasher sandwich, or breakfast roll.

Probably call it “red” sauce too.

Not sure if I've had YR. I was confusing it with the HP muck. Chef for me though
