Sorta Like A1

Approximately 12 oz of sauce

One condiment I can never seem to get enough of is A1 original sauce (a close second place goes to Crosse and Blackwell seafood cocktail sauce). This is an ode to the content of those ridiculously-expensive dark-tinted bottles. (No kidding, I saved a 15 oz A1 bottle and I'm reusing that for my own sauce.)
