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?

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.

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.

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.
