HP Sauce is absolutely outstanding. Marmite I used to be fed as a youngster on toast. I prefer melted cheese on toast with marmite on top then HP Sauce on too. I am British but lived in the US for 16 years. Fried bull testicles at a fry up in the Midwest opened my eyes to certain American foods. Squirrel brains was another - again I am told by certain Americans they are delicious and the best bit.
Each to their own.
