No, it's very much a Southern invention:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_SauceApparently it is still made, but is notoriously difficult to find according to the article. Funny that, as it's on the menu at most Chinese takeaways....

They stopped making it in favour of keeping on with Daddies sauce and have never produced it again sadly.I haven't found a sauce to rival it since. I seem to recollect a bottle of Yorkshire Relish having a picture of Lancers on horseback. Great on fish and nerks, until I tried salad cream.

It appears that Yorkshire Relish is actually still being made in Ireland!I just found this website:http://www.tablesauce.co.uk/yorkshire-relish/I had never heard of Goodalls YR sauce.I shall have to try it sometime.

and here is how the Irish come to be making the only surviving Yorkshire Relish!http://www.goodalls.ie/about-us/history ... ireland/An interesting sidelight on Leeds history.Having establishd that Goodall's can be bought off the net,I shall acquire a bottle when my present brand runs out.

Am I correct in thinking that Yorkshire Relish made a lapel badge much coveted by schoolboys of the time or am I thinking of something else?
