DaveH Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I know someone who used to do the same thing until he had a heart attack and was advised to stay off it. Too much of a good thing eh. So is there an ingredient in Hendersons that is bad for your heart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 So is there an ingredient in Hendersons that is bad for your heart? There were once a time when they refused to put their " secret " ingredients on the bottle but now it's for all to see. Water, Spirit Vinegar, Sugar, Colour, Caramel, Syrup, Salt, Tamerinds, Sweetener, Saccharin Garlick Oil, Emulsifier, Tragacanth? , Isopropyl Alcohol ? It must have been the Isopropyl Alcohol that did it, what ever that is. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I could just eat a meat n' tattie pie with a splash or two of Hendersons right now he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been the Isopropyl Alcohol that did it, what ever that is. Not too worried about the isopropyl alcohol (or propan-2-ol as it should be known these days) as I am quite familiar with it. I have no idea what Tragacanth is, and given the ? in your post after it I assume you have no idea either, so that sounds like the obvious candidate to blame without knowing any cause or reason (not very scientific though is it) Salt would be the main known culprit in this list, causing increased blood pressure and risk of heart problems, - but it depends on quantity. "syrup" could be any of a number of things couldn't it? Sugar isn't good for you either if you are diabetic. Rachel Carson, the scientist author of "The Silent Spring" about the dangers of the insecticide DDT and it's accumulation up the food chain also did a similar work on sugar called "Sweet, White and Deadly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Tragacanth as a drug And another one Doesn't mention Hendo's though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Tragacanth as a drug And another one Doesn't mention Hendo's though! Tragacanth appears to be a "herbal" (ie, extracted from plants) mixture which contains mainly sugars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is an offence to smuggle a condiment containing isopropyl alcohol out of the country, - or even into another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So, that leads me to think we need a picture of a very, very old Hendersons Relish bottle label or some old adverts ...

Guest lebourg Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Always have a bottle or two in here in Normandy. Our neighbours tried some on cottage pie we cooked for them and liked it. Cottage pie - Hachis Parmentier with Yorkshire pud served separately of course.. Funnily enough they weren't keen on the gravy. Things you can buy in our local supermarket. Half a pigs head. Rabbit Pigs tongue, trotters, ears and most of the other bits. Sheep's brains. Giddy-up steak. Tripe, a speciality of Vire I have tried warm gezzier (gizzard) salad which was quite nice but I draw the line at Andouille.... berk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No viande de cheval (horse meat) then. ..and as it is France, what about their local delicacies of frogs and snails? Not for me thanks, - France has some really nice cuisine with quality meat cuts, - and you can wash it down with a good swill of top quality wine as well. Bon appetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
