Worcestershire
Sauce is a British sauce which is also popular here in New
Zealand. The most well known brand is
Lea & Perrins.
Two chemists (Lea & Perrins, funny that) invented
the sauce in the 1800's. They invented
it in Worcester – thus accounting for the name.
I use it to add depth of flavour to soups and
stews. It is also good on bacon. It is a classic ingredient of a Bloody Mary.
You don't want to dwell too much on what's in it – the ingredients
are a bit off putting – like anchovies and tamarind. But it is all fermented for a long time so
the flavours meld together. It doesn't taste the slightest bit fishy.
Well, you are just chalk full of info! Guess that's why I enjoy your blog so much!!! I buy L&P here in Michigan...I'll have to look to see if it's manufactured here in the states...or perhaps that's why it's so pricey because it's being shipped in! HA
