Worcestershire is the one good application of cultural appropriation. It was a colonizers’ attempt to replicate a Burmese condiment
That's neat actually I didn't know. Probably why it's so good
It's very similar to SE Asian fish sauces too. Basically take anchovy mash and ferment it. Yum.
Which is also a (probable) origin story for Ketchup.
Not that it comes from Burma, it’s likely Chinese. And it was very different originally. Still…
Really makes a bloody mary
Add a splash of hot sauce as well and it’s divine. A flavored salt along the rim as well. I’m partial to garlic salt (used to use bacon salt, if not vegan that’s the way to go).
I haven’t had Worcestershire sauce is forever since becoming a vegetarian but I’ve heard there’s vegan variants out there. I should look for some or make some..
They’re passable, I’m yet to find one I like as much as the real thing since going vegan, but some are good enough for o get the job done.
Mushroom ketchup is a good alternative
I guess you could just make like the exact same thing and just like use mushroom as a base for a similar umami extract (or just use straight msg/disodium inosinate/guanylate like a science boss) instead of anchovy paste
Maggi is the big vegan (and gluten-free) one I know, but it's owned by Nestle
Brit detected 
I beat my meat with Worcest, that's my steak you perverted godless commies.
That was your final misteak
A bit of worcestershire is the secret ingredient in my chili. Wonderful stuff
I like HP sauce with fries. Brits definitely hate giving food good names, though.
"HP"? You mean brown?
Worst-estrshire Sauce
Also Woke-strshire Sauce
