History of brown sauce

[edit]

Brown sauce is a dark colored, savoury, tomato based sauce created in the United Kingdom in the 1800s. The ingredients include dates, molasses, tamarinds, tomatoes, cloves, and cayenne pepper.[1] Brown sauce was typically paired with bland foods such as potatoes because its natural tendency is to overpower its neighboring tastes. The sauce also usually made its most abundant appearances during the winter months with hearty meals like stew and beef.[2]

About Chef

[edit]

The Chef brand was originally established in 1921 with a variety of products from pickles to Barbeque sauce.[3] The founder, Will Woods, began by making vinegar and barbeque sauces throughout Ireland. Irish people began to use Chef sauces in recipes, and this habit it was passed down from generation to generation.[4] At some point, production of the Chef brand products was moved out of Ireland and it wasn't until 2015, after ValeoFood had taken over the brand, that the company was then reestablished in Ireland. During this time, Valeo released a new model of bottle for the Chef brand to celebrate its return to Ireland.[5]

ValeoFood Group

[edit]

ValeoFoods is an Irish-based company.[6]

[edit]

In the 2003 film Intermission, grocery store employees John and Oscar rob a warehouse of a crate of Chef Brown Sauce and spend the rest of the movie trying to finish off all the sauce. They pour it into their tea, make Chef sandwiches, etc.[7]
