World famous for its sauce the story begins in the 1800s when Lord Sandys returned home fro his trip to Bengal. On his request the owners of a chemist shop John Lea and William Perrins tried to make the recipe he had required. The Lea and Perrins brand was made commercially for the first time in 1837. A closely guarded secret the recipe kept to this day and only know to the privileged few makes Worcester Sauce so unique. In the famous Harry's New York Bar in Paris the Bloody Mary was born when the barman mixed vodka with tomato juice and a splash of Lee and Perrins. |
