Dear H P Foods

Being something of a gourmet I make a point of watching as many television cookery programmes as my time allows. However despite seeing all that the Two Fat Ladies have to offer, and sitting through Rick Stein, Gary Rhodes, Raymond Blanc, the Roux Brothers, countless series of Delia Smith, and Floyd on France, Italy, Spain, Australia and God knows where else, I have yet to see a single TV chef use H P Sauce, whether included in the recipe or on the finished dish.

I find this quite amazing, as a generous helping of your excellent condiment will improve any dish. I have found that three tablespoonfuls added to the boiling water absolutely transforms Bachelors Delicately Flavoured Rice, while to pour it liberally over Birds Eye Boil-In-The-Bag Kipper Fillets elevates an already outstanding dish into food fit for a King. And what would Xmas dinner be like without it?

I wonder then why it is that TV Chefs seem reluctant to use it. Could it be jealousy on their part, and that they don't like to admit that a healthy dollop of H P Sauce would improve even their finest efforts.

I would be interested in your comments.


Yours faithfully
