I am watching Midsomer Murders, and a guy complains that he did not get ketchup but instead got brown sauce. I had never heard of brown sauce so that sent me to Google. So brown sauce is a UK and Ireland condiment. What do you chaps think of this spicy brown goo? How do you use it and is it any good? I read that it wan on the wain as a condiment. The best selling condiment in America is now mayonnaise, and ketchup has been knocked off its perch by salsa.
It wouldn't surprise me if this is a "thickened" type of Worcestershire sauce. BTW, that's correctly pronounced (Wooster). I also heard it's good for passing kidney stones.
This is what I found .... What-does-English-Brown-Sauce-taste-like-And-is-it-as-popular-in-the-UK-as-it-is-made-out-to-be-in-the-American-media
Yes, but I have heard that the method of usage for that particular application is, shall we say, somewhat ... unconventional.

From da article, Apart from the vinegar, sounds like she's describing Heins 57, which has its place but cannot top classic A-1 for a steak. Only thing as good on a steak is melted salt butter (I use both). Straight worcestershire on steak is good, though. Heinz is way too sweet for me.
Somehow that makes me sad. Never been big on ketchup (fries) or mayo (BLT, tuna salad). Mustard is my go-to. Mix ketchup and mustard 50/50 for dipping fries. You'll thank me.
Though to be fair every time a sub, hero, hoagie, footlong, grinder, torpedo, blimpie and poorboy is made they generally ask oil or mayo. Mustard on my hotdogs A-1 steak or burgers. Salsa on my bake potato and in my eggs. Fries get one of the following malt vinegar, ketchup or gravy But so long as the food's cooked right I'm flexible But lets not forget chutney mmmmmmm so good
