If you want the sauce around here, it's called Salsa Inglesa. Calling it by any other name would bring blank stares. Salasa Inglesa by any name besides L&P is not Salsa Inglesa <message edited by DawnT on Tue, 11/16/10 3:23 PM>

BUT, if you are gonna use the stuff, figure out how to say it. (Even this only comes in at a 2 on the 10-scale.) I am with Don. One thing it isn't is "wherst-i-sh-shire."

It's a whole lot easier to say Lea and Perrins, and everyone knows what you're talking about.

So just saying L&P might not get the job done. David O.
