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....

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.

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?
