Where does Worcestershire sauce come from?

0

Despite its name, Worcestershire sauce was originally an Indian recipe, brought back to Britain by Lord Marcus Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal. One day in 1835, Sandys appeared in a prospering chemist’s emporium in Worcestershire, England, and asked the chemist to create a batch of sauce from his recipe. Once the batch was prepared, they consigned the barrel to the cellars. In the midst of a spring cleaning sometime later, they came across the barrel and decided to taste the special mixture again before throwing it out. Wonder of wonders, the mixture had mellowed into a superlative sauce! The recipe was hastily bought from Lord Sandys, and in 1838, Britain’s most famous commercial sauce was launched.
