Apparently, Gilbert Heublein ( List of people by name: Hes-Hez#Hes-Heu) of Heublein hotel & liquors & Heublein Tower, introduced it to the U.S.; may be worth mention after research, especially since IIRC some sites make him sound like its inventor. -- Jerzy• t 15:24, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Mr. Brand was Knighted, "Sir Loin" by the King; he was so pleased, "I (hereby?) Knight you Sir Loin." The King did not use a sword. 216.215.40.65 ( talk) 02:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
I remember eating A1 sauce in the late 1980s, and I distinctly remember it not having anchovies. I was/am very picky, and I wouldn't have eaten it if it had anchovies in it. b\\ 05:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I remember reading the ingredients and one of the last ones was anchovies or anchovy paste. I stopped eating it. It may have been in the 90's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.58.167.220 ( talk) 00:43, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
A1 is not worcestershire sauce. It does not have anchovies. Its more similar to HP sauce than something like Lea and Perrins. Voss749 ( talk) 02:38, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
after the A is a period, is it an initial for anything?
Why would there be a period after the "1"? It is not an abbreviation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris319 ( talk • contribs) 11:24, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
I have been trying to eliminate HFCS from our house. I notice the bottle of A1 we have contains corn syrup and not HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup. I believe HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup must be labeled as such and not "corn syrup". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.225.169.55 ( talk) 15:19, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Can someone add info on taste for those of us who haven't tried it? -- SirJibby ( talk) 15:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
I would describe it as being like Worcestershire sauce with a bit of ketchup added, making it both sweeter and a little thicker. -- Throbert McGee ( talk) 09:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
There's no mention of the ingredients, can anyone please add it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.159.213.90 ( talk) 00:08, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
In the section "In popular culture" (which is arguably just another name for what used to be called trivia, which pretty much by definition is unencyclopedic; but that's a different discussion), it says that some people in a film "use the term A1 as a reference to the term steak sauce which has the same meaning as awesome". That's not only trivial and unencyclopedic, but also A) just flat-out nonsensical, and B) (f)actually wrong. Since when, how, and why would "steak sauce" have "the same meaning as awesome"?!? And on reading through the trite piece of movie dialog linked to, you find that it's actually the other way around: the characters are in reality using "the term" steak sauce as a reference to "the term" A1 -- which, yes, fricking obviously, "has the same meaning as awesome": Just compare at the top of the page, how the sauce is supposed to have got that name in the first place.
At the least, the stupid wording needs to be reversed (preferably, of course, the whole section could be removed). -- CRConrad ( talk) 13:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Is there any reason why this page shouldn't be moved to include the initials as seen in the logo? Robert K S ( talk) 13:08, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

A. 1. Steak Sauce → A.1. Steak Sauce – Kraft does not place a space between the initials. This was true in 1959 and 1907 (note this early version doesn't even use the periods in the running copy). Recommend retaining "Steak" in page title for time being, as that's still the dominant use and there's no telling whether the company won't change back to the old brand.

Why does the label read "Est. 1862"? This date is not given anywhere in the article.
Excellent question! I see nothing in the article that suggests any type of establishing near 1862. I wonder. Svyatoslav ( talk) 02:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
I'm wondering if this information is accurate. 2602:306:CE4E:2DC0:6D01:92B:615E:BBB9 ( talk) 18:13, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
