Somewhere in Britain, a piece of fish is sitting on a plate waiting for this. Colman's Parsley Sauce Mix is the little packet that turns a plain bit of cod into a tea people still talk about.
White, flecked with green, and poured with more confidence than anyone admits to. Over the fish, over the gammon, over the mash when nobody is watching.
One sachet, a pan, a whisk and a few minutes. That is the whole job.
If you grew up with it, you already know the smell. If you did not, you are about to find out what the fuss was about.
Frequently asked questions about Colman's Parsley Sauce Mix- 20g
Q: Is this the UK version of Colman's Parsley Sauce?
A: Yes, it is the British packet, the same one on the shelf back home, and it ships from within Canada.
Q: How much sauce does one sachet make?
A: It is a single 20g sachet that makes one batch, made up following the instructions on the back. For a big family fish pie, most people keep a spare in the drawer.
Q: What do people usually have it with?
A: Fish is the classic, cod or haddock especially, and it is just as at home on gammon, boiled ham or a fish pie. Some people put it on the potatoes and pretend it was an accident.
More about Colman's Parsley Sauce Mix- 20g
Parsley sauce is one of the old faithfuls of British home cooking. It turns up beside poached haddock, a slab of boiled ham, a gammon steak or a fish pie, and the Colman's packet is the version a lot of British kitchens have kept in the drawer for as long as anyone can remember.
People in Canada go looking for it because they want that exact taste, the one from a parent's kitchen on a weeknight. You can make parsley sauce from scratch, and plenty do, but it never quite tastes like the packet, and the packet is the one you remember.
It comes as a single flat 20g sachet, which tucks into a cupboard or a drawer and keeps there quietly until fish night comes round. Follow the back of the packet, stir until it thickens, and pour.
Colman's is best known for its English mustard, and its packet sauces and gravy mixes sit alongside it in the British cupboard. People who pick this up often have a gammon, a fish pie or a Sunday roast in mind, and something hot and yellow to go on the side.
