    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    It's been replaced by those "0 sugar, 0 carb, 0 fat, 0 calorie" syrups and dressings and sauces.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

    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...

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

    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.

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

    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.
