You are correct with both answers, it is strange what we hold in the back of our minds, that comes in handy.

Just looked him up on Wikipedia, he seems to be a songwriter/producer after a limited singing career. Didn't like the song but it was catchy in that annoying kind of way.

 

[SteveM70]

What are these the ingredients of?

Vegetables in Variable Proportions (52%) (Carrot, Rutabaga, Onion, Cauliflower), Sugar, Barley Malt Vinegar, Water, Spirit Vinegar, Tomato Purée, Date Paste (Dates, Rice Flour), Salt, Apple Pulp, Modified Maize Starch, Colour (Sulphite Ammonia Caramel), Onion Powder, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Spices, Colouring Food (Roasted Barley, Malt Extract), Herb and Spice Extracts.

[SteveM70]

Nope

What's 'rutabaga' when it's at home?

A posh word for swede i thonk

 

[Gloster]

Crisps?

 

[MotCO]

Branston Pickle?

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Some sort of tinned or packet soup? I thought I was doing well with six different ingredients, can not get anywhere near this.

 

[xotGD]

HP Sauce?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Think we have the correct answer already; will let current quizmaster @SteveM70 announce the winner.

I was going to suggest Worcestershire Sauce, but the 52% veg content part of the contents (as well as all the vinegar and flavourings) is probably the giveaway.

 

[SteveM70]

Branston Pickle?

Is the rig answer

Think we have the correct answer already; will let current quizmaster @SteveM70 announce the winner.

I think the moral of the story is never to read the ingredients of something you like, it’s really quite offputting
