Why don't the Americans like brown sauce?

The stuff Aldi sell is better than HP imho.Don't like HP sauce at all, a bit too sweet and fruity. Oddly I prefer Sainsbury's own make brown sauce, nice and vinegar-y.
I want a sausage sanger now.

Laughing , where did/do you eat ? Next time you're in New York we can explore some decent places . I have never seen fake cheese on any food item. Did you just eat at Chucky Cheese ? Talk me through it .
A1 steak sauce is really good. The brand has got a bit confused with other companies producing A.1 and A1. and A.1. and so on. If you get the original it is really good on steaks. Doesn't work as well with sausages or burgers but on steaks - unbeatable.
You really need to try a few places without revolving signs and pictures of the food. Every city in the US has restaurants serving really good food, and places like NY, LA, SF, Boston, Atlanta, Seattle, New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago and Denver have hundreds of good restaurants.

Exactly . Laughing must have seen Denny's as the height of haute cuisine. TBF in many places , portion size seems to be more important that taste but I am sure that is the same in the UK.
Although I have to say I like Dennys every now and then. A grand slam breakfast is just the thing a couple of times a year.
But yes, you are absolutely right.
For anyone visiting the US, try walking a few blocks from Main St in any town and you'll find a good Italian or Chinese or even a diner serving wholesome well cooked food for not much money.

Obviously there are decent restaurants too
But they do get through a lot of “processed cheese” there.
my American friend was amazed at all the different variety of cheese we have just in Tesco etc
She generally has to go to a deli for anything non-orange

You're both wrong. Brown for both. Although ketchup and mustard as a combo is decent for sausage

I had a similar chocolate sauce/vegemite mix up in Australia once
What a disaster - you have my sympathy for experiencing such a crushing disappointment. Chocolate sauce is minging.
Most grocery stores in the US sell a similar range of cheese to British supermarkets. You might not find Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Northern Irish and English cheddar (how did the good people of cheddar let this happen?) but you will find several kinds of cheddar. You might also find several kinds of Bavarian smoked cheese, Emmental, Camembert and Mozzarella. Of course there'll be American cheese and Monterey Jack too, but there's always a reasonable choice.

Don’t forget “Swiss” 
Swiss cheese in the US is generally Emmental. American made Swiss cheese isn't as good as proper Emmental but you can normally buy Swiss stuff as well as American made. If you just intend to put it in a cheeseburger I don't know how important the origin is.Don’t forget “Swiss”
