    Yorkshire Relish is still produced by Robert Roberts in Ireland.

    YR is the one and only, just has the right amount of tang

    Chef, nice for a change of taste every now and then

    HP is a sad excuse for a brown sauce

    Ketchup is just flavoured water with salt and sugar

    Dear God I hope this is a wind up.

    "beans - thicken the sauce up..." - what kind of horror is this?
    dipping a pizza in ketchup? - sweet jesus
    "stew needs a little bit of jazz?" - please don't put ketchup in there - I beg you

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

    All ****e was alternatively called gick when I was growing up.

    (PS - that auto corrected to Vick when I typed it 😀)

    Is YR just an Irish Sauce ?

    There’s a school in south Dublin who’s nickname is “The Gick”. They wouldn’t refer to themselves as this but everyone else calls them it.

    They are the scholastic equivalent of white dog ****.

    It originates in Leeds and was invented by Robert Goodall in the early 1850's using a family recipe.
    This is an interesting read.

    That's actual a different Yorkshire Relish, confusing I know. The thick YR brown sause we're talking about here orginated in Ireland, Donegal I believe.

    It's manufactured in Donegal by Robert Roberts, they of the swanky coffee. Brown sauce was invented by the Brits around the middle of the 19th century to perk up their (at the time) rather dreary cookery. Thus speaks the man who uses neither ketchup nor brown sauce on his rasher sammidges. Up the Blueshirts!! :D:cool:

    Does anyone remember the big (litre) jar or brown sauce and red sauce they used to do. The brown one was a brown plastic jar with a white top and the writing was white, same for the red but the jar was red. Used to be in a lot of chippies.

    Kandee it was.
    Pure scutter.

    That's the one and indeed it was, pure nostalgia for me though.

    That's incorrect.

    It's a British Invention,the original Yorkshire Relish was a different constitution I know but a thick version of Yorkshire Relish was introduced from 1935, under the initiative of George Edward Bowman. It was made from apples, tomatoes, dates, tamarinds and spices.
    THIS morphed into the recipe that we know and love today.

    Proof of this is in the labelling,the original bottles were imbossed with a blue willow pattern emblem,just like the modern bottles of today.

    You are right that it is now manufactured in Ireland though.

    It's the only job for a thickly cut cold bacon sandwich.

    YR sauce without a shadow of a doubt. The runny Yorkshire Relish is even better.

    Savage with a big fry up!! :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,462 ✭✭✭blinding


    Does the YR stand for Yorkshire Relish .

    How come Worcester Sauce never made a thick version ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,874 ✭✭✭Edgware


    A lad went into a shop and asked the shopkeeper
    " have you any brown sauce?"
    The shopkeeper said " H.P.?"
    " No" says your man " I'll pay cash"

    Where's me coat?

    I'm not questioning that brown sauce is a British invention, just stating that the YR brand is Irish.

    Sure I read it was taken off the shelf because of cancer links?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,111 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Accidentally clicked YR due to my memories being a bit hazy, should have hit HP.

    But, regardless of what anyone else is more inclined to get, at least we can all agree that the glass bottle is the only one that counts, yeah? No matter the brand, the glass bottle version is the nicest!

    Mary Berry

    I got the idea from Mary herself, she was over one day, said me stew needed a bit of a kick and she went straight to the fridge for the chef, had no interest in the bramwells from the press though.
