Sauce is a brown sauce produced by HP Foods in the United Kingdom from 1895 to the 2000s, when it was purchased by the H. J. Heinz Company and production was moved to the Netherlands. The sauce was named after London's Houses of Parliament, and it has become an icon of British culture. It is little known in the U.S., but it remains extremely popular in England (it is very similar to A.1. sauce in the U.S.). It became known as "Wilson's gravy" in the 1960s and 1970s after Harold Wilson, the Labour Prime Minister, after his wife, Mary, gave an interview to The Sunday Times in which she claimed "If Harold has a fault, it is that he will drown everything with HP Sauce"!
