Worcester sauce
Tangy British condiment
Worcester sauce is a pungent, fermented condiment—dark, thin, and intensely savory.
The original recipe, from Worcester, England, includes anchovies, vinegar, molasses, and tamarind.
It adds depth to Bloody Marys, Caesar salads, and meat dishes.
Also called Worcestershire sauce, though the shorter form sidesteps the notoriously tricky pronunciation.
