Cornwell's Plum Sauce. I haven't seen it since probably 2001 and I still want it back. It was the best thing on Macaroni cheese. The closest alternative is Masterfoods BBQ sauce and it's great but it's never hit the same. I tried other plum sauces since there are hundreds but it seems Cornwell's take on it was really different to everyone else's in a way I can't describe so I don't know what to look for in an alternative. Even if I did find another plum sauce as good, the bottle design and logo are iconic for me and part of my childhood.

I've never heard of this or had any kind of plum sauce, and would never have considered having it on mac and cheese. Now I am craving this discontinued foreign condiment.

Plum sauce in general is pretty nice but oddly enough, other than this one obscure discontinued brand it actually isn't usually that good on Mac and cheese. I was disappointed to discover this. Growing up I'd only ever had that on Mac and cheese and I assumed that that was what plum sauce generally tasted like. As it turns out I was wrong because there's lots of styles, but the one thing they have in common is not being like the one I miss. They're probably good with various Asian foods but only that Cornwell's stuff worked with the Mac. :(

Is this a UK thing? Guessing from the Cornwall name

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Australia and NZ, different kind of Cornwell, with an 'e' unlike the country in the UK with an 'a'. Not sure what Cornwell the sauce manufacturer is referring to, I guess someone's name a long time ago?
