    Worcestershire is the one good application of cultural appropriation. It was a colonizers’ attempt to replicate a Burmese condiment

      Which is also a (probable) origin story for Ketchup.

      Not that it comes from Burma, it’s likely Chinese. And it was very different originally. Still…

      It's very similar to SE Asian fish sauces too. Basically take anchovy mash and ferment it. Yum.

    I haven’t had Worcestershire sauce is forever since becoming a vegetarian but I’ve heard there’s vegan variants out there. I should look for some or make some..

      They’re passable, I’m yet to find one I like as much as the real thing since going vegan, but some are good enough for o get the job done.

      I guess you could just make like the exact same thing and just like use mushroom as a base for a similar umami extract (or just use straight msg/disodium inosinate/guanylate like a science boss) instead of anchovy paste

      Maggi is the big vegan (and gluten-free) one I know, but it's owned by Nestle

      Add a splash of hot sauce as well and it’s divine. A flavored salt along the rim as well. I’m partial to garlic salt (used to use bacon salt, if not vegan that’s the way to go).

    I like HP sauce with fries. Brits definitely hate giving food good names, though.

    A bit of worcestershire is the secret ingredient in my chili. Wonderful stuff
