> [@Dr\_Paprika](#): > > You ever put Worcestershire sauce in a salad? What’s your favourite use? I like a good deal of Worcestershire in my Shepard’s pie (or cottage pie, more typically, but I don’t make the distinction). I also sometimes add it to ketchup for a sort of ersatz A1 or brown sauce or something. I like it over French fries/crisps in the same manner you might use vinegar. It’s also good in a type of barbecue sauce/“dip” they use in Western Kentucky for their mutton barbecue, which is very much Worcestershire-based. Like up to one part Worcestershire to 1 part water to 1/2 part vinegar and 1/4 part lemon juice for the liquid. > **[Ole South Barbeque’s Mutton Dip - Barbecuebible.com](https://barbecuebible.com/recipe/ole-south-barbeques-mutton-dip/)** > > Grilling recipes and barbecue recipes from Steven Raichlen and the Barbecue Bible. Find inspiration for the grill from our collection of recipes. Some recipes I see have a 1:1 Worcestershire to vinegar ratio, but with more water, as well. At any rate, the actual stuff I’ve sampled there is _quite_ Worcestershire-y. I think it works pretty well on other meats, too, but the overwhelming strength of Worcestershire is best enjoyed with a more flavorful meat like lamb or mutton. ---

Before I broil salmon I marinate it for fifteen minutes in Worcestershire, olive oil and lemon juice. I’ve also used it in stroganoff. I love the taste. ---

Goes well with eggplant, too. 🍆 😀 ---

Agreed. That’s a pretty basic dressing too. Not what I would expect to be famous from a Cuban restaurant. ---

My son likes Worcestershire in his white rice. (Especially if he’s eating a steak to go with it.) ---

For quite a while now, when I heat up, canned green beans in the microwave, I drain and season them thus: a sprinkling of garlic powder, and soulfood seasoning, a couple teaspoons of Worcestershire, and a tablespoon of butter. Cover and microwave five minutes. Beats plain GB from the can. I also use it copiously in my GB casserole. I Imagine WS might hit it off in something like a more savory Three Bean Salad or Cowboy Caviar or something bean-centric. ---

When I was a kid I used to drink Worcestershire; if not by itself, it was delightful mixed with Sunny D or Tampico “juices”. ---

“Salsa Ingles” and “Maggi”, seperate or in liaison are both super popular in Mexico… ---

From the ingredients I see it looks similar to a couple local seasonings, sounds interesting. ---

> [@Blindmellowjelly](#): > > Clover Valley Soul Food Seasoning It’s funny. There are a few things Clover Valley makes that I really like, including their medium salsa.
