Well, that's the legend, anyway. Romans exported garum to India, and the British imported it back as Worcestershire. (True? Probably not.) SE Asian fish sauce isn't stinky enough to be a garum substitute, anyway. There's at least one company in Italy that makes the real stuff... -Andrew |

There is a Worcestershire but there's no sauce named after it, despite what a lot of Americans say. There is a "Worcester sauce" (named after the town, not the county) but it's got a lot more than garum in it. ========> Email to "j-c" at this site; email to "bogus" will bounce <======== Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html> food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. |

We have more "Worcesters" than of ever the Scuppered H'aislers or the puir near-sighted Scots could have ever dreamed, even resorting to naming a cruiser and class of ships after the Massachusetts version thereof. We have no Worcestershire except the sauce itself, produced in a half dozen brandnames, none as good as L&P, and even once in dry form, "David Wade's Worscetershire Powder", actually quite good as a seasoning for prime rib(standing rib) roast. The best brands contain two key ingredients....anchovies, the heritage of the original based on a SEAsian fish sauce, nam pla or whatever, and tamarind pulp, a fruit flavoring of the Indian subcontinent and of all places, Mexico, another hint that the Manilla Galleon carried more than gold and sailed in two directions. I surmise that the sauce as we know it represents a British recipe and commercial bottling to imitate or compare with a condiment(s) familiar to locals who had served in India/SEAsia. Worcestershire Sauce remains a popular US table condiment and more important and necessary ingredient in the Cajun pantry, required for several notable Cajun recipes. Why? That's a good question, for there's no historical basis for its use.... TMO |
