I have two bottles of "brown" sauce sitting in front of me, both of
which claim to be the "original". A1 says "established 1862" and HP
claims that it has "set the standard for quality since 1899". I suppose
various interpretations of the words are possible. Both sauces show the
usual creative packaging; A1's bottle is 10 oz and HP's 9 oz. A1 belongs
to Kraft and HP is a "product of Holland" but claims to be British (and
has a royal appointment to support that).

The ingredient lists of both sauces are very similar but I prefer the
more acidic A1, even if I like either on steak. I wonder does anyone
have strong opinions?
