I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a bottle of A1 sauce in real life. What is it? I’m American but from Louisiana and we have different sauces.
This is unlikely to be helpful, but it tastes almost exactly like HP sauce.
It's the only sauce you can use with their printers.
I have never heard of HP sauce but thank you for giving me something else to search online.
Google doesn’t work anymore but it seems like ketchup but Worcestershire? Is that close?
Don't worry. Pretty much the same as Dell sauce.
Pretty close.
Odd you havent seen it being from the south…but that’s probably for the better! It’s Steak Sauce. Meant to be put on steaks…it’s in all major grocery chains and usually on the tables at most restaurants serving any sort of a steak menu. Bottle is shaped like a Worcestershire bottle, but has a white label with a big A1 on it. I never cared for it so at this point couldn’t even tell you what it tastes like. If a steak needs a sauce, then it’s not a good steak.
With that said, i’ve seen it used as a marinade ingredient, or more complex sauce ingredient- so it’ll still have its uses.
I don’t think steak sauce is a thing in South Louisiana. Prime rib gets a horseradish/sour cream sauce. Au jus is common with steak. But we also tend to eat more seafood than beef so the standard sauces are something like Crystal Hot Sauce, Tabasco, etc. Ketchup for making cocktail sauce. (A lot of places serve oysters or whatever with a little cup of horseradish and you decide how spicy your cocktail sauce will be by adding ketchup and stuff.)
I’ve definitely eaten more calamari than steaks. So, by no means is this a universal concept. I’ve just never seen anyone put A1 on anything.
