Hamburger Sauce in Iceland

20090427-hamburgersauce.jpg

During my vacation Iceland from April 18 to 24, one of the first things I did was visit a grocery store. Naturally. Stuck in the wall of mayonnaise and mayo-based sauces in Bónus, I spotted hamburger sauce, hamborgarasósa. This Icelandic dictionary tells me that it at least has water, egg yolk, tomato concentrate, mustard, vinegar, and spices in it. ...Nom, nom!

Stay tuned for my Icelandic burger review later this week.

This stuff is popular in the UK,
it is a bit like a vinegary thin thousand island sauce. It is always slathered onto kebab shop burgers and eaten almost exclusively by drunk people.

I know Heinz have a supermarket version of the sauce in English supermarkets... I stopped letting the stuff anywhere near me quite a long time ago, as I saw that the stuff turns into an almost clear jelly/resin if it is left out of its bottle for too long. FOUL.
(Drunken student apartment kitchens, covered in kebab packaging proved this)

@Londoner: Clear...jelly...resin?! I wouldn't have predicted that.
