Dick   10 #1 Posted January 21, 2014 Jim Dowd, MP for Lewisham West and Penge, Said, in parliament, that in a London pub he asked for Worcester Sauce and was given something called Hendedrsons Relish, which appeared to be something from Sheffield. He used it as an example of well known products being undercut by cheap imitations. Nick Clegg is a Sheffield MP. Ask him to immediately refute this dreadful slur on a famous Sheffield product.

morrisminor   10 #3 Posted January 21, 2014 they see things slightly differently in Worcester http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/10951427.There__39_s_only_one_Worcestershire_Sauce_says_MP/?ref=nt  good question though - how come the bottles are so similar and both orange labels? you can understand why those from outside of this realm might assume it was a straight up copy....and was it, 100 years ago?

richkent   10 #4 Posted January 21, 2014 What's it got to do with Clegg? This prat is a Labour MP; there's a fair few of his colleagues that should be able to put him straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

karl101   10 #7 Posted January 21, 2014 Worcester Sauce is made from fermented fish. Hendersons Relish is not.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcestershire_sauce  ... fermented fish ...  K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Squiggs   11 #8 Posted January 21, 2014 So what's his issue with Worcester Sauce?  Surely his issue should be with the pub that served him a different sauce to that requested (or "Sorry Sir, we don't have WS, would Sir like Hendersons instead?")  It's like asking for Mayonnaise and getting Salad Cream - you wouldn't be moaning that Salad Cream was copying Mayo, you would be saying "excuse me, I asked for Mayonnaise, not Salad Cream"  The bloke's an idiot. All the qualifications needed to be an MP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bladesman   10 #9 Posted January 21, 2014 Similar branding but different source.  Also Henderson's has been around for 100 years, I think perhaps that someone may have taken them to court if they ever thought it was infringing on anything.  Just another MP who hasn't got his facts right.  Supermarkets do try and mimic brands though and should rightly be pulled up for it.

mastifflover   10 #12 Posted January 21, 2014 hendersons tastes nothing like worchester sauce...i am addicted to bloody marys so im well aware of this. worchester sauce is not suitable for use by vegetarians where hendersons is. two completely different products which are labelled similar.
