Pickawhat? Worchestershire isn’t vegan!?

Pickapeppa Sauce!

So I’m saucing up some food with some Lea & Perrins Worchestershire sauce…  Can you say that correctly!?  When I say it the way people say is correct, my mouth feels really funny.  I deeply just want to pronounce it exactly how it looks, but my wife has laughed and corrected me often enough that I am trying to push through this space language way of saying it…  So anyway, back to “warshishter“…  Pssht.  🙂  So I’m eating some of that sauce on some fake chicken, and I get that weird feeling you get when you know you goofed and you don’t want to address it, because if you do you know it will forever change your relationship with that thing…  You know that feeling?  🙂  So I take the plunge and I scope out the bottle for ingredients, and I take this in:

Ingredients

Ingredients:  Distilled White Vinegar, Molasses, Sugar, Water, Salt, Onions, Anchovies (?!?), Garlic, Cloves, Tamarind Extract, Natural Flavorings, Chili Pepper Extract.

DANGIT!  Seriously?  Of all things, ANCHOVIES??  In War Sister sauce!?  Come ON…

So there it is, another condiment booted from my life.  So sad.  So I jump on Facebook and express my dismay like any decent middle aged parent would do in our current segment of time, and it doesn’t take long before a friend recommends Pickapepper as a replacement.  So I nab a bottle, and here are the ingredients for completeness sake:

Ingredients: Cane Vinegar, Sugar, Tomatoes, Onions, Raisins, Sea Salt, Ginger, Peppers, Garlic, Cloves, Black Pepper, Thyme, Mangoes, Orange Peel

Nice!  So I throw it on one of those Beyond Meat burgers today, and it really was fabulous!  I tried a little alone, and it is very tasty.  It’s similar to WarChester, but it’s a little more tangy, and I’m pretty sure, it’s a little less fishy…  lol

Lea & Perrins, and Pickapeppa, a wonderful vegan replacement!

The takeaway is, Lea & Perrins Warmaster sauce has fish in it, and Pickapepper is a pretty sweet alternative for vegan/vegetarians!

Enjoy friends!  Much love to you!
