Flag Sauce

Another brown sauce I had forgotten turned up on my table as a surprise birthday present from one of my sons - a bottle of OK Sauce. I hadn't seen this one for years but turns out Colmans Mustard still make it for the Chinese market! The label is partly printed in Chinese and it's on sale at Wing Yips in Nechells where my son got it while looking round there. Not the same as Flag, as it is much fruitier, but is a nice tasty blast from the past in a cheese sandwich.

Flag sauce yum

When I was working for a builder as an apprentice joiner, T Humphries & Son of Tennent Street, Balsall Heath, I spent many weeks working in the factory & offices of Fardons Vinegar in Glover Street, they had premises on both sides of the road. I also worked on the house of I think John Fardon (probably a son) along Highfield Road, near Yardley Wood railway station. This was in the late fifties.
