Goddlefrood:

Brown sauce is unlike any other sauce. It has a taste very much 
its own and the most famous of them is HP sauce (for Houses of 
Parliament). Here is a site on its history:

sauce/

For many in the UK brown sauce is preferred to tomato sauce, 
especially with a bacon butty - another easy recipe, you will 
need:

2 slices of bread spread with butter and brown sauce

1 or 2 slices of bacon

This is the perfect morning after food, but probably not 
something to recommennd for a school project.

As to the taste of brown sauce, it is tangy and delicious 
and based on malt  vinegar. Worth hunting down. Because it 
is available in Fiji (although rarely), I suspect it could 
be found in the States.

Here is a recipe I found:

Ingredients

10 tomatoes, chopped 
1 cup brown sugar 
1 onion, chopped 
1 lemon, sliced 
1/4 cup white vinegar 
1 tablespoon salt 
1 tablespoon allspice 
1 teaspoon pepper 
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce 
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco) 
Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a dutch oven. 
Bring to a boil and lower heat. 
Cook uncovered for an hour - stirring occasionally. 
Strain through a food mill and bottle in hot, sterilized jars. 
Suitable for most meat dishes
Preparation: - 15 minutes
Cooking: - 1 hour 15 minutes
Makes: - 4 Cups

That from the same site noted above.

Enjoy!
