Geo Watkins Mushroom Ketchup

Its recent popularity is probably due the the Delia Effect: the The Delia effect - the phenomenon which causes her followers rush out to buy ingredients she recommends. She includes it in her recipes for steak and kidney pie and steak and kidney pudding in her famous "Complete Illustrated Cookery Course", and probably many others.

It has a rich mushroom flavour but contrary to its name it is not like a ketchup-type sauce. It is light and watery, similar in colour and viscosity to Worcestershire sauce or Balsamic vinegar.

It is commonly available in most UK supermarkets.
