    Default A complaint..

    Why do they not sell A1 Steak Sauce in the UK?

    Had a nice "light" lunch today of a NYC strip, Chips & Onion Rings and it just was not the same as the delightful dining I experienced while in Florida this year!

    A1 might add some flavor to British food, and that just wouldn't be proper.

    Good French cooking requires no additional industrial additives in order to be great. In fact, it would be sacriledge.

    A good steak doesn't need A1 or any other sauce.

    I read that it was invented in the uk actually, but formally adopted or something in the states. I would imagine with such a claim that it would be more popular than the other stuff you guys have, like "brown sauce".

    Brown sauce is good for a lot of things (try it in a bacon roll with lots of pepper or with a sheppards pie) but for me, A1 rules for Steak!

    they dont sell Marmite here in the states so its only fair, no A1 for you!!
    it is considered treason to put steak sauce on a steak in the USA. i get my steaks shipped out of Omaha packed in dry ice. the top sirloins cut with a fork!!!
    local stores only offer steroid laden lousy cuts.
    now go make an omelette and then add a few drops of A1 to it, thats its only use in my house.

    just dont get me started on Lucas jokes

    why do Brits drink warm beer? they have Lucas refrigerators

    to those confused British Leyland used Lucas ignition systems and wiring, he was known as The Prince of Darkness.

    i loved my 2 weeks in Great Britain and i thought the food was awesome, at least up in the north, i had a steak in Durham that to this day rocked my world

    I here this all the time, but the way I figure it is, It's YOUR steak. You're paying for it. Put what ever the heck you want on it. A great brewed cup of coffee shouldn't need cream and sugar and a loaf of really good bread shouldn't need butter but people do it. Strange reasoning!
    I've heard how certain chefs would be insulted by someone putting additives on their steaks. Well. be insulted! Get over it.
