The History
 
The year is 1744. Commodore George Anson has returned to Portsmouth having successfully completed his circumnavigation of the globe. From an original fleet of eight, the flagship, HMS Centurion was the only ship to make it back to Portsmouth.
 
Tasked with disrupting the Spanish trade routes throughout the oceans of Mexico, Chile & Peru, Anson famously captured the Manila Galleon which was carrying over a million pieces of eight. It was a decisive victory for the 60 gun Centurion and Anson returned to England a hero, laying down the foundations of Britain’s global supremacy of the seas.
 
This brutal voyage of discovery and battle took nearly four years to complete. It resulted in horrific loss of life for the sailors. Only 188 men of the original crew of 1,854 survived to tell the tale. Anson reportedly, dropped to his knees on the beach at Spice Island and kissed the ground, thanking God for his safe return.
 
Just like Anson’s voyage, Centurion 1744 is not for the faint hearted.  This sauce is versatile and perfect for adding some adventure to stir-fry, chilli con carne or chicken fajitas.  Use a generous dash to liven up your homemade guacamole, add to mayonaise to created a chilli mayo or just enjoy with cheesey beans on toast.
