[edit] About Worcestershire Sauce

Worcestershire Sauce is an Indian recipe brought to the UK after Lord Marcus Sandy's tour of duty as the Governor of Bengal. Lord Marcus Sandy commissioned chemists John Lea and William Perrins to recreate this sauce from his recipe.

The initial sauce tasted so horrible that it was abandoned in the chemists' cellar. It wasn't until several months later that they discovered the mixture had matured beautifully in the oak barrels, and in 1838 the famous sauce was launched.

Worcestershire sauce is a great addition to any savoury recipe, such as casseroles, soups, grilled meat or cheese dishes.
