To think worcester sauce and Henderson's are the same thing?

[ImFree2doasiwant]

Just that really.

@sabrinathwaite and @antirrhinum Sainsbury have got it wrong in that case!

No, Worcestershire sauce is quite nice but Henderson's tastes like week-old watery gravy that a cat has peed into. My husband unaccountably loves Hendersons.

Sainsbury have got it wrong in that case!

Just their way of avoiding copyright breach.

Yes.

Because that’s not Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce.

Hendos FTW.

I have a sensitive palate and can very much tell the difference.

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

Is Henderson's still made in the middle of the University campus in Sheffield?

I think it was there first but yes. I mean the campus grew around it

My DH lived in Sheffield for 20 years and the moved down to Worcester to live with me. He brought Hendersons with him and we had a cheese on toast blind battle, Worcestershire Sauce won.

I live about 5 mins walk from the original Lea and Perrins factory which is a very interesting old building.

@SabrinaThwaite ah but I didn't ask about Lea and Persons Worcestershire sauce, that'll be why.

Haven’t read the full thread but came on to say ..... blasphemy!! Henderson’s is in a league of its own 😎

It’s still Worcestershire sauce, not Worcester sauce, despite the Sainsbury’s version.

And it’s Lea and Perrins (not Lea and Persons).

Taste different. Henderson is better. I always grab a bottle when up in Sheffield.

Sorry about the autocorrect. My point being, I typed out "Worcestershire " thought about it, checked the actual bottle, then changed it.

Because it’s the Sainsbury’s generic version.

The original is Worcestershire sauce.

Yes, yes I know that.

So what’s your problem?

It’s Worcestershire sauce.

yourself.

I'm ask mnhq to change the title, to generic Worcester sauce, not lea and perrins, the original Worcestershire sauce. Oh, and LIGHTHEARTED

Yeah, you’re very light hearted.

You’re still wrong.

Henderson's is what you buy if you are a) desperate and b) can't get Worcester sauce for love nor money

@Brefugee

Also you can buy it online. I have the Sheffield Wednesday bottle and order 2 litres at a time to refill it.

Which reminds me, about time i got some more.

At least if you buy it make sure it's Blades not Owls!

I come from Worcester but am vegetarian so can’t bring myself to get either.

Sheffielder here, so I’m whispering this....L&P is better (prepares for pitchforks at dawn).

They're definitely not the same. L&P is lovely. Henderson's... Not so much.

Well done for escaping the brain washing

I prefer Hendersons but it's a bit like Coke and Pepsi, different people have different tastes

(Hendo's is definitely better to me)

Plus Henderson's is Henderson's

Lea and Perrins is just a generic name for Worcestershire sauce of which there are many variations

I like Lea & Perrins.

I am willing to believe that there are other people who like the copies.
