And there was an even older thread with the following from Anaten:<br>
<br>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br>
Lea and Perrins Worcestshire sauce ingredients:<br>
Malt vinegar (from barley), spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onions, garlic, spices, flavouring.<br>
<br>
The ingredients are fermented for a long time in the vinegar, strained and then transferred to wooden casks for further fermenting, the whole process taking three years!<br>
<br>
According to Delia Smith only the best anchovies from the Basque Region of Spain are used.<br>
<br>
You know, I'm beginning to think garum might not have been as bad as it sounds...<br>

There you go. <p></p><i></i>

Cheers Caius I love this snippet from the review: "Slaves were ordered to grow long hair so that their masters could wipe their hands on it." Those slaves really had a hard time of it <p></p><i></i>
