>Is Worcestershire Sauce the Soy Sauce of white people?
Yes.
>And is Lea and Perrins objectively the best?
Yes.

>>9396552
it's not even that salty, it just has a strong umami flavour

>>9396687
>umami

its the soy sauce of country redneck degenerates.

are you a degenerate country redneck op?

>>9396687
>it's not even that salty

that's what I like about it

>>9396552
It serves a similar purpose.

My grandmother used to make her own (she wasn't right in the head). It was better - in my opinion - than L&P. More tamarind, anchovy, and a bit of mango to smooth it out. Fermented in a 2L jug that I've since scoured the balls off of and now use for sour-beer experiments.

>>9396859
how the hell do you even make this at home
did she ferment the anchois for a long time?

>>9397128
The same way you make it anywhere else. Put a bunch of shallots, anchovies, etc, in a container. Let it sit in a dark place for fucking ages. Strain it out.

>>9396552
>Sauce the Soy Sauce of white people? I use it now on most things in place of salt
Soy sauce is the soy sauce of white people. Asians use it much more sparingly than white people do. Asians might use it in cooking certain dishes or in limited circumstances as a table condiment. Whiteys think that any and all Chinese or Japanese food needs to be soaked with it.

>>And is Lea and Perrins objectively the best?
It's certainly the best that I have tried. I think that's because it's actually fermented and contains anchovies. Every other brand I have seen is a cheap substitute that's made with artificial flavor. It's like comparing proper Parmiggiano-Reggiano with imitation "parmesan" made from wood fiber.

I just noticed this

WHAT THE FUCK?

>>9397246
>WHAT THE FUCK?
I'm not sure what you're referring to, really.

Some people get triggered when they see kosher or halal marks. Is that it? I'm not really sure why anyone would care. Seems like such a trivial thing to 'sperg out over.

>>9396559
fpbp

>>9397246
Water is also halal. It's just a marketing thing.

No animals were harmed in the making of this post.

>>9397246
Basically "hey muslims, you can eat this."

You could put that label on pretty much anything that doesn't have alcohol, pork, carrion, blood, or non-halal killed meat in it. Lettuce is halal.

>>9397329
Ditto the Klbd logo - that's the British version of the kosher logo.

>>9396704
It's a descendant of garrum a roman sauce. Fuck off.

>>9397329
I can picture a T-Shirt that says that, but with a loaded revolver pointing out.

>>9399031
Funny!

>>9396552
>Is Worcestershire Sauce the Soy Sauce of white people?
Considering it contains soy sauce, no.

>>9396704
You're retarded.

>>9396552
>L&P

Top choice. Makes a mean Heinz 57 knockoff with a couple other ingredients.

It has a much more complex flavor than soy sauce

>>9399048
Yes, it was

>>9399433
wew
soy sauce with 20 other things dumped in it is more complex than soy sauce
what a shocker!
next you'll tell us that the bushes and the clouds in mario are the same sprite recolored

>>9399133
If you buy Worcestershire sauce that has soy sauce in it you need to buy better Worcestershire sauce pleb.

>>9400075
except a good worcestershire doesn't contain soy sauce or even soy in general, fucking pleb
the umami in this comes from anchois and not soy

>>9400479
>anchois

>>9399133
>muh jews putting soy in stuff to turn men gay

>>9400479
So you don't consider Lea & Perrins to be "good Worcestershire sauce", then. Because soy sauce is on the original ingredient list, it's quite clearly documented.

>>9401568
I don't.
Henderson's Relish is superior and I'm not even a northern monkey.

>>9401568
>the original ingredients list
That would be the one they don't make anymore and none of us have ever tried.
Solid argument there, anon.

>>9401593
That's some pretty deep denial, given that sources from the company itself have confirmed the only changes were cuts in sugar during the rule.

But hey, whatever lets you tell yourself you're superior to those feminized yellow monkeys taking over the world as you live on NEETbux and spend your days on a forum devoted to their children's cartoons. I won't take that away from you because you obviously have almost nothing else.

>>9401624
*during the war

>>9401624
The Worcestershire sauce you now and love is no where near the original recipe, even more so if you're consuming the American variant.
t. Worcestershire resident.

>>9401624
The recipe changed again in the mid nineties.

>>9400479
>the umami in this comes from anchois and not soy
Actually, it comes from both.

>>9396701
>Implying your tongue can't taste glutamate
Just because a jap discovered it and named it after a jap word doesn't mean it doesn't exist

>vinegar, molasses and tamarind
Doesn't sound very white people to me.

It's more like the fish sauce of white people but sure.

Personally, I find it's fairly strong taste distracting outside of very meaty dishes so I use it sparingly. It's good in homemade blue cheese dressing.

Lea & Perrins does not contain soy sauce.
Never has.

No mate, you're a weeb and thus a fucking retard.

>uses both redneck and degenerate as insults

>find it in the back of a cabinet

>still tastes fine
What is this stuff anyway?

>>9401753
Mostly vinegar, so as long as the lid's on tight it'll last for ages.

>>9401753
fish left in barrels

>>9401768
Pretty much this. It's the west's incarnation of fish sauce.

It never goes bad. In fact, the story behind Lea & Perrins was that the founder tried making a sauce that he got a recipe for in Asia. After following the directions he found the sauce to be unpalatable and left the barrel in his basement, forgetting about it. Years later the sauce was sampled and found to taste delicious. It's fermented over a very long time period.

>>9401808
Ingredients seem simple enough. I never like the "natural flavoring" crap though. I get they want to keep their secrets, but natural flavoring means practically nothing.

>>9401587
>Henderson's Relish
Are you the guy that often posts about that here?

I bought a bottle several months ago after seeing someone sing its praises here. When I first tried it I thought it was shitty since it lacks the strong savory and salty flavor of Lea & Perrins. It was like talking L&P and deleting part of its flavor profile. But since then I've taken a liking to using it in cooking or mixing it with other sauces to make up for that missing bit. I quite like it now. I don't think it's better or worse than L&P--rather, it's a different thing for different applications.

Anyone ever mess with "Bourbon Barrel Aged" Worcestershire?

I heard about it on a couple cooking shows. The only stuff I could find was fake-ass "vegan" worcestershire which I didn't bother to try. I didn't want to fool around with a full-size whisky barrel, so what I emulated it:
-Get a glass growler like you might use for beer
-Pour in a half cup of barrel-proof Bourbon
-Fill up with L&P
-Insert a few of those charred wood spirals used for infusing homemade wine, spirits, etc (pic related)
-Stick in the closet for 6 months

Holy fuck is it awesome.

>>9401568
Dude what

>>9396552
It's great on hot chips or as ameripoors call them "fries"

>>9401991
guess what the "natural flavoring" is

>>9402580
You don't know either fagtron

>>9401991
Did you miss the part where he sad "Original recipe"? You posted a pic of a modern bottle.

>>9402610
They're required to put it on the label if food contains soy, as soy allergy is one of the most common food allergies.

>>9402740
Soy labeling isn't mandatory in the US.

You guys and your "n-n-no this thing I like CAN'T be dirty gook racemixing" /pol/posting, directly arguing with statements from L&P themselves, are straight up there with my asshole uncle buying exclusively Magnavox electronics cause it's an American brand iff'n don't end with an O.

You could pretend to know US safety laws and not make a total moron if yourself. But who am I kidding, your ads masturbating to your own ignorance right now.

Is that why asian men are so beta? they ingest too much Xenoestrogens

Wikipedia says that the UK version uses malt vinegar whereas the US version uses distilled white vinegar. Can someone that has consumed large quantities of both give us a rundown on how the malt vinegar changes the flavor profile and which version is better. Thanks in advance.

>>9403454
malt vinegar tastes more malty and white vinegar tastes more whitey

>>9403454

Buy some white vinegar and some malt vinegar and taste each.

>>9402797

Every time

>>9403461
>>9403465
I know the difference in taste between malt vinegar and distilled vinegar. That doesn't mean that is the difference between the US and UK versions of the product. The article implies that there are other differences as well as the US version is supposed to be based on some Indian recipes.
