has anyone ever tried any other Worchestershire sauce besides L&P?

vash · vash's Garage

in my decades of life. Lea and Perrins dominated my worchestershire sauce needs. total domination. i dont think i have ever tasted another brand!

you? anything that is better?

i ask that, not knowing if L&P is even good..it is all i know! weird. it could be crap stuff

Heretic!

I buy the Aldi stuff because it's half the price yet tastes the exact same to me. I mean, I only use a teaspoon in a recipe at any given time but I don't notice any difference.

I tried the Heinz version because the grocery store was out of the real stuff. Once. I literally used it once and tossed the bottle. Never again. I'll go without rather than use something other than Lea and Perrins.

Google the old 'Evangeline' brand. I think the company that bought them out is still making a W sauce.

or else, there's this:

Nope, it is like Kikkoman's or Tabasco sauce. I know the taste, and see no reason to try anther.

Try another? Why?

i'd probably never change up. just wondering if i had started with another product, would that one be "the one".

and kikkoman. i find it too salty and one dimensional.

All I ever knew was L&Ps and Texas Pete's around these parts...

His name ain't Pete and he ain't from Texas either....weak sauce

There are some things that are sacred.
Lea & Perrin's = woosterchestershire sauce
McIlhenney Co. = tobasco sauce

There are some things you shouldn't mess with.

Really? Tabasco is sold world wide, and almost everywhere. In my youth I used to use a lot of it. Then I got old, and heartburn was not worth the taste of Tabasco on foods. I still use it sparingly on many dishes, but I buy the standard little bottle not the big bottle like before.

I prefer Tabasco too...but you have to ask for it by name. TP (made in Winston-Salem) is what ya get if you ask for hot sauce or is already on the table next to the ketchup. If you put it on BBQ....I will shoot you

There is a Worchestershire sauce that is not Lea & Perrin's?

I guess I knew that, but will never act on that knowledge.

My wife once bought a bottle of French's Worchestershire. It was probably cheaper. Tastes like it.

Bill Douglas · 02-13-2019, 10:42 AM

Nope. They may be very good, but I don't care. Only Lea and Perrins.

My wife swears she can tell the difference, me not so much.

Yes.
French's is pretty good.
And before you go ewww, french, check out McCormick's website. Pretty funny:

I have tried a couple others and they were so inferior I ended up throwing the entire container away.

I'll never stray from L&P again!

Just bought a new bottle yesterday, in fact. Good on avocado!

We grabbed a bottle of generic because the L&P was out of stock... not sure how much difference there is, seeing as we go through a bottle in about two years I see no reason not to pay a few cents more for the real thing.

Now hot sauce we have at least 5-6 bottles at any given time.

I love shopping at Asian supermarkets, they have half an aisle dedicated to soy sauce. Same if you go to a Latino market and shop for hot sauce.

Frank's Red Hot has the same vinegar base but isn't quite as hot a Tabasco.
