People are discovering what ‘HP’ in HP Sauce stands for

IT’S the one condiment most Britons cannot imagine their sausage bap without – the HP brown sauce.

Since hitting the shelves all the way back in 1895, the blue labelled bottle has become a staple in most households across the UK – but did you know what ‘HP’ stands for?

Some might guess that the name might be the initials of the person who came up with the sauce – however, it was Frederick Gibson Garton, which doesn’t really work.

But the truth, it turns out, it much more simple – and the clue has been on the bottle all this time, The Mirror reported.

The two letters – HP – actually stand for the Houses of Parliament, which there even is a picture of on the iconic label.
