Lea & Perrins White Worcestershire Sauce

[Elf]

Has anyone seen this in your grocery store? I went to the Lea & Perrins web site and there is no mention of it, Google shows it was introduced in 2005, I thought that I had bought some in the mid-80's and that it was very pale, almost white. I seem to remember the label as being green. Did they have another sauce that was discontinued or is it time for me to check myself into a rubber room?

I haven't seen it lately, but then, I haven't been looking for it.

They sent me some to try when it first came out. I'd rather have the regular stuff.

I remember the white one. I know I've tried it, but it seems like it was longer ago than 2005. I was thinking maybe 90s. It didn't taste very similar. It was designed to be a good ingredient in chicken dishes and I think it was good in those.

I remember it, too. It WAS marketed for chicken and fish...lighter and smoother.
It went away about the same time their BBQ sauce did.
Never tried it.

Found it! It has been renamed to "Marinade for Chicken". Unfortunately, it contains high fructose corn syrup, as does L&P's current recipe Worcestershire sauce. I won't be getting any.

BTW, my link does not constitute a recommendation for the online store linked. I have never done business with the store linked and know nothing of them except that their website included handy information like an ingredient list, which many online shops do not provide.

Thanks for saving my sanity, Wagmans by the way, from what I have heard is is very customer orientated store, very much like Nordstrom. I am glad others had seen it earlier then 2006, that was the part that made think I was in the twilight zone. From what I remember it added a pleasant background flavor to chicken dishes, though I don't remember using it as a marinade. Thanks

I don't even like their original. Definitely not something I'd try. I prefer my French's Wor.

We can buy a Lee & Perrins white sauce here in Mexico that is called "crushed garlic sauce". Says on the label (I have a bottle in my fridge) that it is produced in England and imported into Mexico. Ingredients include sunflower oil, garlic, water, salt, sugar, vinegar, and a bunch of emulsifers, etc. whose names I cannot translate. But I don't think I have actually used it much....only in marinades.
