Worcester sauce or Worcestershire sauce is a fermented liquid condiment of complex mixture, of British origin from Worcester and popularized by Lea & Perrins, based on an older Greco-Roman sauce. The essential ingredients are barley malt vinegar, spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onions, and garlic; particular brands add other spices as well to taste. It is often an ingredient in Welsh Rabbit or Welsh rarebit, Caesar salad, Oysters Kirkpatrick, and sometimes added to chili con carne, stew, hamburgers, and other dishes. Worcestershire sauce is also used to flavour cocktails such as a Bloody Mary or Caesar. Known as salsa inglesa (English sauce) in Spanish, it is also an ingredient in michelada, the Mexican cocktail.
