Thread Name: BS: HP Sauce - Folk Icon?
Subject: BS: HP Sauce - Folk Icon?
I'm distraught at the decision to outsauce production to Belgium ... there's even a web petition going round as it's seen by some as an affront to British Tradition. (it's all them damn colonial yanks, who own Heinz)
I have an uneasy feeling that this raises some real serious issues about how America is seen in the world

- Is this another case of Misguided US Imperialism?

- Why do the American Establishnment persist in stepping on other folks' National Icons, fail to realise they've done it, and then act all outraged when foreigners tread on theirs?

- why are there no songs about HP sauce?

- if it goes abroad, who's going to write a chorus or two about How Good the Old Sauce was?

Time for a debate!
Come on Mudcat, what do the master-debaters here think?
