HP = Houses of Parliament, as per the pic on the label.
HP has now been bought out by Heinz. I know this as my hubby's been made redundant and was working at HP.

HP Sauce was invented and developed by Frederick Gibson Garton, a grocer from Nottingham. He registered the name H.P. Sauce in 1896. Garton called the sauce HP because he had heard that a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament had begun serving it (indeed, bottle labels today carry a picture of the Palace of Westminster)

Houses of Parliament - that's why there's a picture of Big Ben on the brown sauce label (or at least there used to be - not seen a bottle for ages).

Er - Highly Processed?
Horribly Poisonous?
Highly Potent?
It should be HM Sauce - Highly Moreish!
Sorry, we do not have it in this house therefore I cannot go and look.
But chocolate and HP sauce????? Well, each to their own.
Happy New Year!

Have you not noticed the picture of the Houses of Parliament on the label ? Production of this great British institution is moving to Holland by the way.
