If you've ever bought a bacon or sausage bap to kickstart your morning, you've probably been asked whether you'd like ketchup or brown sauce to be smothered on top. And if you're a fan of brown sauce, then you'll be very familiar with the popular HP brand.
HP Sauce is the best-known brand of brown sauce in the UK and has been on shelves in shops since it was first launched back in 1895 - but do you know where the sauce got its name from?
At first glance, the HP name might sound like it should be the initials of the man who created the sauce, but that would be Frederick Gibson Garton, who definitely doesn't fit that bill. You might also be forgiven for thinking that it has something to do with Heinz, who has owned the sauce brand since 2005, but that's not right either.
