Worcestershire sauce was first created in the 1830s by two chemists, John Wheeley Lea and William Perrins, in England.
The sauce was originally developed as a medicinal tonic but later became popular as a condiment for food.
Lea & Perrins, the original brand, still dominates the Worcestershire sauce market globally, with millions of bottles sold each year.
The secret ingredient in Worcestershire sauce, tamarind, adds a unique tangy and slightly sour flavor, which is key to its distinctive taste.
