The first time I visited London, my father’s friend made me a proper Irish Breakfast–bacon, eggs, grilled tomatoes, toast. And he served it with a bottle of Daddies sauce. It tasted like a thicker, sweeter version of A-1. I didn’t realize until later that Daddies was a knock-off of the more popular HP sauce. Being the sucker for conidments that I am, I love ’em both, though it’s much easier to find HP.

You can get Daddies at the wonderful British food shop, Myers of Keswick, a Greenwich Village institution.
