I noticed that hp hasn't had its usual kind of spice. They have to keep tampering with stuff that dont need it ?
never had rolls in bacon, interesting idea ?
I though it was my imagination that it doesn't taste like it used too! Thanks for that.
I think it was supposed to be something to do with too much sugar in the original recipe for current legislation. It was originally an English sauce but if I remember correctly what I read a while back HP was bought by a big EU company and changed the recipe, supposedly to improve the health side of it. I believe they added more vinegar which makes a cheap bulking alternative to the recipe. That's as I remember reading anyway. I can't state it as factually totally accurate as I'm relying on memory but I definitely went right off the stuff overnight before I googled the question : Has the recipe for HP sauce been changed?. I find Hubbard's (Sainsbury) suits my taste much better than the current HB. If you want to do your own research, feel free to correct me if I do turn out to be wrong. ??
I need it...esp if I've been to the gym the night before or band rehearsal....
Why can't you eat like that anymore?gastric band fitted?
No mate. A bit similar though. My oesophagus was removed during a seven hour operation for cancer. My stomach was stapled down the middle, one half of it was cut away and stitched to the top of the remainder to make a new oesophagus. This means that my stomach is now a tube from the bottom of my throat to my abdomen. It now sits mostly above the diaphragm instead of below it and has a reduced capacity. Consequently, I can be full up on capacity but still hungry as a meal doesn't provide enough calories to satisfy the appetite. Oh and a bit short of breath when I eat as the lungs now have to share the space of the ribcage with the stomach. Smaller meals, more often is the way now. All good now though, thankfully. I'm above the ground and fit as a fiddle (almost). Never had much more than a heavy cold till that problem. ?
Flaming eck Davy that’s mental! The fact your still out working a physical job after that, power to you! I don’t know if I could still do this after going through that ?
Canny tell if your messing or not ?
Thanks mate. I didn't know if I'd be able either. We can all surprise ourselves at times. It's so important to do our best to try and stay determined and stubborn during the various challenges we all face at times: relationships, financial, work, money problems and health. We're not alone. I had great moral support from family and friends and the good folks on the forum that were aware at the time. That's treasured and never to be forgotten. And of course the marvellous care of the NHS staff. ?
