Worcestershire sauce, known as salsa inglesa (‘English sauce’) or salsa Perrins (‘Perrins sauce’), is very popular in El Salvador. Many restaurants provide a bottle on each table, and the per capita annual consumption is 2.5 ounces (71 g), the highest in the world as of 1996.


Huh!

Taiwan has a sauce known as “Black Vinegar” which is very similar to Worcestershire Sauce.

Also, Japan has another variant “Tonkastu Sauce” (Ton = pig; katsu is shortened from katsuretsu, which is the Japanese transliteration of “cutlet”, as pronounced in Japan.)
