Where does Worcestershire sauce originate?

Answer 1

Worcestershire sauce was actually made by accident by of course the original English drugstore owners John Lea and William Perrins, in Worcester, England, after being commissioned to duplicate an Indian sauce for Lord Marcus Sandy, who just came back from governing Bengal, India. The original intent was to sell the fish and vegetable mixture in their store but the odor was much too strong they stashed it away in a seller only to be forgotten about and found two years later after aging and becoming a quite delicious sauce and a big hit with the customers. After that it became a British staple and Lea and Perrins branched out to include it on the British passenger ships with the dinind table set-ups. It was mostly used, and still is, as a steak sauce.
