Worcestershire sauce is a fermented condiment made from a base of vinegar and flavoured with anchovies, molasses, tamarind, onion, garlic, and other seasonings. The flavour is savoury and sweet with a distinct tang provided by the vinegar. Worcestershire sauce is frequently used to enhance food and drink recipes, including welsh rarebit, Caesar salad, oyster kirkpatrick, and devilled eggs. As both a background flavour and a source of umami, it is now also added to dishes that historically did not contain it, such as chili con carne and beef stew.
