brown sauce

Tangy meat accompaniment

Brown sauce is a tangy, savory condiment popular in Britain, made from tomatoes, molasses, vinegar, and spices.

It's dark reddish-brown and commonly served with fried breakfasts, bacon sandwiches, and meat pies: Do you want brown sauce or ketchup with that?

HP Sauce is the best-known brand.

In cooking, brown sauce also refers to any of several meat-based sauces thickened with browned flour.
