Has anyone here lived long enough to

[Floyd R. Turbo]

buy a second bottle of Worcestershire sauce?

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Now that's funny

[AirmensMom]

2. Eventually,

it will reach its expiration date and you'll have to toss it. Then you'll want to buy a second one to replace it. You know, just in case.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. It has an expiration date? I've never noticed.

[AirmensMom]

7. It's usually stamped very faintly

On some part of the bottle. Mine is good until 6/20/2021. Who knew?

[MissB]

12. Does it though?

Mine expired a couple of years ago. Still tastes the same.

[Laffy Kat]

17. It's so acidic I don't think bacteria could survive.

I guess the flavor could degrade some, though. I know I used one bottle for at least seven years. I bought a new one about a year ago and I made sure I got a smaller size. I used to add a few shakes to hamburger meat when I was still eating beef and now my son does the same. Other than that, Chex Party Mix every year requires a couple of tablespoons.

3. I have

My wife was cleaning the fridge and she dropped the bottle of Worcestershire sauce which shattered on the floor.

We wanted Bloody Marys that morning so I had to go out and buy a new bottle. It'll last the rest of my life.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

4. I used to mainline that stuff.

I bought a bottle at the Aldi a few days ago.

French's is the most bang for the buck.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. only Lee & Perrins will do. nt

[flor-de-jasmim]

5. For me it's a Q of how many times have I lived in the same place long enough to buy a second!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

[Laelth]

8. I need a new bottle about once every two months. n/t

[Phoenix61]

9. Absolutely! Use it every time I make burgers

or meat loaf. Ground turkey is pretty bland but a couple tablespoons of Worcestershire perks it right up.

[northoftheborder]

10. I've never had to throw away a bottle from it's old age.....it's regular condiment here.....

[ironflange]

11. I need a new bottle

I'll put the date on it so I know when I got it.

[Fla Dem]

13. Yes! Because when I go for the bottle for a recipe, it's usually so old it has become like putty.

Have to buy a new bottle, the smallest possible, and will end up throwing that one away in 5 years.

[mnhtnbb]

14. I use it to make turkey burgers

Yummy. So, yes, to your question!

[csziggy]

15. I think I'm on my sixth one

I put it in all kinds of things for an added depth of flavor. I'm not sure but it may add umami the same as soy sauce does.

I put it in meat loaf and other ground beef dishes such as stroganoff, sometimes on pork, but never for fish or chicken. I also use soy sauce for some of those dishes, sometimes at the same time.

[Solly Mack]

16. Second, third, fourth, fifth...

Like soy sauce, anchovy paste, chili paste(to name a few items) - it's a must in any kitchen.

Marinades, sauces, salad dressings, and dashes - must have.

Umami. It's all about the umami.

[lillypaddle]

18. Me!

But only because the first bottle "use by" date was 3 years old. Does that count?

[LeftInTX]

19. Ask thhe same question about Tabasco Sauce!

Hub's goes through a bottle in only 2 years

[yellowdogintexas]

26. Tabasco sauce and Louisiana Hot sauce live forever

I always have those as well as Yucateca habenara sauce.

[OriginalGeek]

20. I go through several bottles a year

We love it. I never make hamburgers without it and we eat a lot of hamburgers. I'm not above splashing a few dashes in random foods that don't even require it. (Soups, rice, corn, potatoes...)

Also if my wife brings home French's because it was on sale I will throw it in the garbage and go get Lea & Perrins like a sane person.

[oro]

21. I have because my husband loves it.

He uses it on fried eggs. I eat in the other room! I like it in Welsh rarebit, though.

[yellowdogintexas]

24. essential for Welsh Rarebit

My mother's was SO good. We ate it on saltines with pickles and onions That was our New Year's Eve supper every year.

My dad & grandfather ran a country store and every year Daddy would get a wheel of cheese fro the local cheese factory. It was waxed of course and he wrapped it in several layers of cheesecloth and stored it in the store's cellar.
Three years later he brought it out to sell for the holidays and it sold out very fast.

My mom called it rat cheese; she mixed it with medium cheddar to make her Welsh Rarebit

( I am from KY and down there we call it Welsh Rabbit)

Now I want to go get the right kind of cheese and make one

[Danmel]

22. I use it all the time

In Sheperds Pie, Shrimp Creole, burgers. On New Year's Eve, I made Filet Mignon and used Worcestershire sauce for the sauteed mushrooms.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. Maybe every 2 or 3 years.

Now if you get it at Costco that is another thing entirely.

If you make a lot of Cajun food, you will use more of it

[Aristus]

27. Can't make biscuits and gravy without it.
