My family enjoys this sauce much better than other brands. Yes it is a basic sauce, however you can add your favourite meat or veg to it. It has a nice flavour and texture. ( not a chunky sauce) it is a good mix of sweet and tangy. It's delicious. I like that it comes in a box - which is easier to store in the cupboard, and comes in 750ml size which is more sauce than some of the sauces that come in a jar (typically 650ml) sometimes you need that extra sauce and don't want to open a new jar!
