Worcestershire sauce is the elixir of the gods
(hexbear.net)
My reaction:
Worcestershire is the one good application of cultural appropriation. It was a colonizers’ attempt to replicate a Burmese condiment
That's neat actually I didn't know. Probably why it's so good
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
Mushroom ketchup is a good alternative
Maggi is the big vegan (and gluten-free) one I know, but it's owned by Nestle
Really makes a bloody mary
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).
Brit detected 
I beat my meat with Worcest, that's my steak you perverted godless commies.
That was your final misteak
A bit of worcestershire is the secret ingredient in my chili. Wonderful stuff
I like HP sauce with fries. Brits definitely hate giving food good names, though.
"HP"? You mean brown?
