I've always described Pickapeppa Sauce as "Jamaican A-1." I was surprised when I went to Pickapeppa.com and found that they refer to it as "Jamaican ketchup." Really, that's probably more appropriate, since it's way more than a steak sauce. It does work great on meats, and I'll usually put it on grilled pork or, my favorite, cold, leftover fried chicken. I recently heard of blending it with cream cheese, however. Some people suggest making a dip, but I just put a few drops on a bagel with cream cheese and tomato slices. (I also do this with Marmite.)
I suspect I use the "A-1" comparison because it's the closest thing I can think to compare Pickapeppa to. The flavor is slightly spicy and acidic, but tempered with sweet fruit like mangoes, raisins and tamarinds. It's made many a dry, leftover piece of meat into great sandwich fodder.

--how i use pickapeppa/london pub sauce:
cube chicken breasts and stir fry with onions, peppers (add anything u like... peanuts work well too). Add McCormick Jamaican Jerk Spice (I use the Gourmet collection) to taste (the more the better). When chicken is done, stir in pineapple cubes and some honey and remove from heat. Serve over fruited couscous (raisins, dried apricots) and top with pickapeppa and/or london pub.
