Older than the Queen Mum, its the Daddy

Advantages: lasts for a hundred years
Disadvantages: when it has it smells quite bad

...India. What they did make was quite foul (unlike today?s product) and was put into the cellar and forgotten about for two years, until they came upon it and thought, will we chuck it or have one last try first? (Personally, I think anything that?s been sat in a rotting barrel for two years should get the heave-ho, but on with the story?) Like fine wine, it had of course matured. And so was born the God of all sauces, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. Ingredients ----------------------- Tamarinds from India, chilli peppers from Zimbabwe, and anchovies from Italy. Quite a cosmopolitan little bottle. It also contains malt vinegar, spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, onions, garlic, spices, flavourings. If I?d known about the anchovies, I wouldn?t have tried it, to be honest. Rest assured, there are no fish-heads in the jar (I...

Spice Up Your Cooking

Advantages: Versatile Tried and Tested Product
Disadvantages: Does Smell

...Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce has long been a favourite relish with the British and, I might add, also with a lot of knowledgeable chef’s the world over. This sauce has a fascinating history: it was originally produced in the city of Worcester in the West Midlands by John Lea and William Perrins from a recipe brought back from India by a British aristocrat. So strictly speaking it isn’t British at all, but Indian in origin. Today it is not even British owned for Lea and Perrins now comes under the ownership of the large French food company, Danone, who besides their native France, produce a wide variety of foodstuffs in a number of other countries as well including Great Britain, Malaysia, Singapore and Italy. This sauce is widely available. Most reputable grocers stock it and you will find the major...

Review of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

The Secret Spicy Sauce

Advantages: Awesome list of natural ingredients, adds life and zest to many foods and some drinks, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Not suitable for vegetarians, some may not like its pungent nature

...I vividly remember by school days, when I was in my early teens, everytime I used to buy a packet of “ready salted” crisps, there was always something that had to be sprinkled all over them before I began to devour them. That something was Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. Lea & Perrins has been around for ages and is the sauce that has literally put Worcestershire on the map worldwide. It was first commercially produced way back in 1837 and was invented by two close friends called John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins. What makes Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce so different from others is its incredible selection of ingredients and plus one other secret ingredient. Many have tried to imitate Lea & Perrins but have failed rather miserably in this regard. The very fact that this sauce has been around...

Can I Survive Without This Saucy Spice

Advantages: Enriches soups, stews, cheese on toast and lots of other foods.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for one sector of the population.

.... The guest and his wife eventually arrived and everyone was chatting away, ever so politely, but with their eyes on Pops. He'd cut off a sizeable chunk of cheese and was slowly cutting it up very carefully into minute pieces. I could tell from Gran's face that she was none too pleased. Once the cheese was to Pops liking he sprinkled it with Worcestershire Sauce and then started mixing and mashing this with his fork. "How come he's allowed to mess with his food", I wondered. He then commenced to eat the mixture by scooping dollops of it onto a hunk of bread and butter. I could tell he was enjoying it and this was typical of Pops. He didn't really care what anyone else thought, whoever they were. I still miss him so much. Since then I've loved Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. I've used it in so many ways. My favourite is when my...

Review of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

The Original and Genuine

Advantages: Rich, tangy, zingy and oh so versatile
Disadvantages: The bottles are too small!

...Ingredients (according to the bottle) - Malt Vinegar, Spirit Vinegar, Molasses, Sugar, Salt, Anchovies, Tamarind Extract, Onions, Garlic, Spices, Flavouring Availability - Any good supermarket, convenience store Price - Around 90p for 150ml, £1.70 for 325ml How will I recognise it - Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce comes in a narrow necked bottle with a predominantly orange label with black writing. The lid is a black flip top. The sauce itself is practically black (well very dark brown). It is usually in the condiment section of the supermarket, but can also occasionally be found near the booze as it is an imprtant ingredient in Bloody Mary - more about that later! Taste - This sauce has a very unique taste. It is vinegary but has a range of full bodied spices which fill out the flavour. You can...
