Worcestershire Sauce was invented in 1835 when a posh army officer went to India to help run the British Empire. He fell in love, not with a woman, but with a fish sauce. DCODE how the iconic sauce is made in England today.

The geezer who tried it after a couple of years was a badass.

You ever just wonder how someone came up with fermenting things like they just thought hey I’m gonna let this sit for a couple years then eat it

Worcestershire has such a unique flavor its easy to see why its lasted the test of time. I was shocked to find out what is actually in it. I bet most seafood haters had no idea it contains anchovies as i didn't either.

I love this stuff. I wish they sold it by the gallon! The ancient Romans loved a fermented fish sauce called Garum. Such sauce is very popular in Vietnam and Asia in general.

"He fell in love with not a women, but a fish sauce"

We've all been there.

Honestly just clicked this video to figure out actually how to pronounce Worcestershire.

I drink it straight from the bottle. Not chugs, but like a whisp of a drop I suck in and aerosolize… it’s like an explosion of every amazing flavor all mixed together in perfect harmony. No exaggeration, it’s my favorite tasting substance on earth (that I’ve discovered so far). And only the original… other brands are not even close to the same.

Omg I can't wait to tell my vegan friend that his favorite sauce has fish in it

I use Worcestershire when marinating my meats and it always comes out fantastic. Thanks for showing me where it actually comes from.

What I find interesting is they mature each ingredient separately as opposed to the sauce as a whole. I assume the reason is to ensure a standardized Lea and Perrin's flavor profile, whereas batch fermintation can vary widely from batch to batch.

I used to work in a group home where management came in and threw away the bottle of Worcestershire sauce because they thought it might be past its expiration date. I was like, "Do you even know what Worcestershire sauce is? By definition it has already gone bad. That's what gives it its flavor."

I saw a documentary about Roman food once, and they mentioned a favored commodity, a sauce called "garum" which Romans were mad for. It was a sauce whose main ingredient was fermented fish. The documentary then went on to say that today, Worcestershire sauce was the closest thing to compare it to. Now we know why...lol. Fermented fish....who knew!

[charlescrowe]

I still, after all these years, wonder what the actual sauce he wanted recreated tasted like and if it still lives on to this day

[margaretbedwell]

This is the one brand name item i won't skip and use a store brand. I am in my 80's and wouldn't buy anything else. I use it in many items that cook. Thanks Lee & Perrins for your wonderful sauce.

[collinemorris]

The stuff is irreplaceable in my kitchen. Pretty interesting to learn how it’s produced and its history. Had no idea.

I live in New Jersey and never knew there was a Lea & Perrins factory here! I've absolutely loved Lea & Perrins since I was a child - we'd visit my grandmother every weekend and she would always serve loin of pork, and my father would cut it up for me, form a circle on my plate, and pour out some Lea & Perrins into the center.
The only thing that's changed, from what I have seen, is that back then the label would have a small hole near the bottom and next to it would be the words "Time to buy more!" I wish they'd bring that back - I don't see how they can call the label 'iconic' without that reminder near the bottom of the bottle!

For the common human: “Worcestershire sauce”

For me: “Worsorcerstercershirester sauce”

[samiam]

MMmmmm thanks for all the work for all these years! Reminds me of my beloved Tabasco sauce and steak sauce...

[zxcvbnm]

I can drink it like a shot, and the thought of it, makes my mouth water. Steak n baked potato is my favorite combo.
