Worcestershire sauce is a pungent sauce, which was originally created in the city of Worcester in Worcestershire, England.
Worcestershire sauce is frequently used to enhance food and drink recipes, including Welsh rarebit, Caesar salad and deviled eggs. Flavored cocktails such as the Bloody Mary also use it.
In 1835 Sir Marcus Sandys, a native of Worcestershire, returned from India with a recipe for a fermented sauce including a secret ingredient. He commissioned a Worcester pharmacy owned by John Lea and William Perrins to recreate the flavor. The mixture was inedible and the barrel was abandoned in the basement.
Looking to make space in the storage area a few years later, Lea and Perrins decided to try the sauce again, and discovered that with maturity the taste had improved. They started manufacturing the product and in 1838 the first bottles of "Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce" were released to the general public.
To help promote their new sauce, Lea and Perrins arranged for cases of their product to be on all ocean liners that came in and out of British waters. They paid the stewards to serve the sauce in the dining rooms, which led to passengers requesting to buy a bottle of this new appealing concoction to take home. As a result, the fame of Worcestershire Sauce spread very quickly.
In 1930 the Lea and Perrins company was sold to HP Foods; HP was sold to Danone in 1988 and then to Heinz in 2005.
A photograph taken on September 30, 1938 of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain having dinner with Hitler, Mussolini and Edouard Daladier, the French prime minister, shows a bottle of Worcestershire sauce on the table.
The secret ingredient of Worcestershire sauce is dissolved anchovies, including the bones that have been soaked in vinegar.
The ingredients of a bottle of Worcestershire sauce from England sold under the name "The Original & Genuine Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce" by Lea & Perrins, Limited, lists the following ingredients: malt vinegar (from barley), spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onions, garlic, spice and flavoring.
El Salvador has the highest per capital consumption of Worcestershire sauce in the world.
