Aldi's £1 brown sauce beat HP and other brands in a taste test, praised for flavor, texture, and value.

A taste test of UK supermarket brown sauces found that a 99p bottle from Aldi outperformed more expensive brands, including the long-standing favorite HP. While Sainsbury’s and M&S were criticized for being watery and overly sweet, and Lidl had a strong smell but lacked intensity, Asda’s sauce closely matched HP’s flavor. Aldi’s version earned the top score for its rich, balanced taste and authentic texture, surpassing HP in quality and value.
