History

East End Foods was formed in 1972 in Wolverhampton, England, by the 5 Wouhra Brothers, Sikhs who were originally from New Delhi, India. [5] Having been established in Wolverhampton it has since moved on through the West Midlands conurbation into Birmingham. In 2006 it opened the largest rice mill in Europe, with the dedication officiated by Environment Secretary David Miliband.[6]

After the closing down of the old HP Sauce site in 2007, which is situated in Aston, Birmingham, East End Foods purchased it and built a new cash & carry.[7]


gollark: Shouldn't it be kHz?
gollark: And if you just want to scrape the site's HTML to get information, tough; the class names are seemingly deliberately obfuscated, there's no semantic HTML, and a lot of stuff is paginated (which admittedly is fine for actual browser use).
gollark: It seems to me as if it's deliberately designed to make third-party stuff as annoying as possible. The examples are all for PHP, it uses a weird system[1] instead of fairly standardized HTTP response codes, there are some special cases (-2 and -1 on hoursleft on a dragon) which are a bit weird, and the API keys are request-only. I emailed TJ09 asking for one and got no response (EDIT: oops, there's a request form. Either I missed that or it was added recently.)
gollark: It's a shame the DC API isn't more, well, usable. There could be loads of cool stuff like that made.
gollark: I think I saw an inbreeding coefficient calculator at some point.
