Yep. HP sauce did this. Used to be ubiquitous on restaurant tables in Canada. Then they changed the recipe, white vinegar instead of malt, no rue flour, orange juice concentrate instead of tanarind puree, new version was sharper, more astringent, less sweet n smoky. Everyone just quit buying it without even really noticing why. Then the old recipe started showing up in "ethnic food" aisles in areas with high dutch and English immigration.
I think that's because the HP franchise their recipes, and different locations have "regional" variants. Here in the UK, it's never significantly changed so you're probably getting the English import - so, of course, there's a shipping cost on top.
That's what I said. In the late 90s, the recipe for Canada was changed. Lately the original has been appearing in the Import aisles. What Kraft was selling as original HP since then is closer to the UK "fruity" HP variant.
It is a bit different to say, "HP changed their recipe" versus "some dumb ass redistributor changed HP's award winning recipe and suffered the consequences" :-D
Either way, I'm glad to get the original. Nothing better with some sausages or bacon...
They did. HP sauce changed their recipe, someone gave permission. Redistributors aren't producers, I can be a pedantic ass too.
