Is there a special Worcestershire sauce? I've seen some version or another at every grocery store that I've looked at. It's fairly common in the US... unless it's like champagne and only the wine from Champagne, France is *champagne, while all the other stuff is just sparkling wine.

Well, apparently Worcester is a county in England that merged with Herefordshire, another county. And then Lea & Perrins makes the sauce there.
I think my last bottle was made by Heinz in Pennsylvania. Ha ha.
Well, see, there you go. Lea & Perrins is a subsidiary of Kraft Heinz. So not even Heinz is on its own in this one. I haven't looked on the bottle to see where mine was manufactured, but if it was made in the states, cool.
I looked them up on Wiki and I saw that they had been acquired. I wonder if they're considering changing the name to Philisauce. :P
OMG. I'm already having a depressing morning and this just about puts the lid on it @themanwithnoname and @glenalbrethsen. Is there nothing safe from the Great American Takeover?
. . . I've just checked my bottle and that, at least, is made in Hayes, Middlesex by Heinz UK.
Oh, no! Sorry you're not having a good morning. And I'm glad that your bottle is made locally. Like @glenalbrethsen said, globalization doesn't leave many people untouched. There are even a lot of brands from the US that have been bought by overseas investment companies. It's difficult to deal with at times, but also the way it goes. I hope your day gets better!
Yeah. Thanks @themanwithnoname. The day did get better. I got away from Steemit and the computer in general and went for a long walk along the seafront. The weather was gorgeous. 😊
I'm sorry your morning isn't going well, and the two of us certainly didn't mean to make it worse. My guess is, though, there's been all kinds of globalization going on for decades, which includes things founded in England being made in places around the U.S., though I really don't know how pervasive it is, since a lot of what we buy is from American companies but manufactured in China.
We have two, looks like, and one says Pittsburgh and the other I believe is in New Jersey. Label is kind of worn in that spot. So, I guess you'd have Pittsauce and Jerseysauce or something. :)
