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:
http://www.brownsauce.org/more-lashings-of-sauce/history-of-brown-
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!
