Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce Bottle

Anchovies, molasses, tamarind, onion, garlic, and other flavors are added to Worcestershire sauce, a fermented condiment with vinegar as its foundation. The flavor is salty, sweet, and has a noticeable tang from the vinegar. Many food and beverage preparations, such as welsh rarebit, Caesar salad, oyster kirkpatrick, and devilled eggs, benefit from the use of Worcestershire sauce. It is now also added to foods that historically lacked umami, like chili con carne and beef stew, as a background flavor and umami source.
