People are just realising Worcestershire sauce has ‘hidden' ingredient
Worcestershire sauce is a condiment often used to add flavour to dishes such as pasta, casseroles, pies, and even Bloody Mary cocktails. But it's only recently that people have discovered its key ingredient, and it's completely blowing their minds. The tangy sauce is typically made with water, vinegar, brown sugar, golden syrup, salt, tamarind, spices, onion powder, and garlic powder. However, people have been left stunned to find out that the sauce also contains a rather polarising ingredient – anchovies. The revelation came to light after a mum and home cook shared her take on a Caesar salad, which she declared was 'picky child approved' as it contained no anchovy fillets, unlike a typical Caesar salad. Diana Konfederat instead added a dash of the brown condiment to the salad's dressing, saying, 'this has anchovies in it'. 'Please don't come for me for not using fresh anchovies,' she added. 'I don't like them, my kids don't like them.' Although thousands were keen to recreate her version of Caesar salad dressing, many were shocked to discover that anchovies were hiding in the sauce. 'Wait a second. I had no idea Worcestershire sauce had anchovies in it,' said one user. 'I just ran to check my sauce – and yes. I haven't eaten Caesar dressing since I've learned it's in there and all along I've been eating this. I'm dead,' admitted a second. 'My mind is blown, Worcestershire sauce has anchovies?!' yet another commenter exclaimed. 'Never knew that Worcestershire sauce contained anchovies,' a fourth added. However, several admitted they'd always steered clear of Caesar salad because of the fish, but were pleased to discover that Worcestershire sauce could be used to recreate that delicate, salty, fishy taste. 'YAY I've always wanted a non-fishy Caesar recipe,' one user wrote. 'This looks bomb – I hate anchovies, so this I could do,' someone else said. Anchovies are included in Worcestershire sauce to impart a deep, savoury, and umami flavour. This umami, frequently characterised as a 'meaty' or 'brothy' taste, arises from the fermentation process and the natural compounds present in the anchovies. The anchovies are matured in vinegar, which helps in breaking them down and releasing these flavour compounds and contributing to the sauce's distinctive character. As a result, many Worcestershire sauces aren't vegan. However, if you are vegan or simply don't like anchovies, plenty of fish-free Worcestershire sauce brands exist. Vegan Worcestershire sauces include ingredients like molasses, tamarind, and vinegar to give the same complex, delicious flavour without the fish. For example, the home brand Woolworths Worcestershire sauce contains no anchovies, nor does the Coles home brand version. Popular brand Lea & Perrins does, however, contain anchovies.

Foodies left 'mind blown' after discovering unexpected key ingredient in Worcestershire sauce
It's a condiment commonly used to boost flavour in dishes like pasta, casseroles, pies and even Bloody Mary cocktails - but people are only now discovering one Worcestershire sauce's key ingredients, and it's blowing their minds. The sauce is typically made with water, vinegar, brown sugar, golden syrup, salt, tamarind, spices, onion powder, garlic flavour - and the surprising addition of anchovies. The revelation emerged after a mum shared her own version of the 'best Caesar salad you'll ever have in your life' which she declared was 'picky child approved'. Her recipe calls for romaine lettuce, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, crushed crotons, Parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce. 'Just a little spritz of Worcestershire... this has anchovies in it,' she casually said. The home cook said the condiment was a perfect substitute in the salad because she wasn't a fan of fresh anchovies. 'Please don't come at me for not using fresh anchovies... I don't like them, my kids don't like them,' she said. While thousands were excited to recreate her version of the Caesar salad dressing, many were stunned to learn that anchovies were hidden in the condiment. 'Wait a second. I had no idea Worcestershire sauce had anchovies in it,' one said. 'I just ran to check my sauce - and yes. I haven't eaten Caesar dressing since I've learned it's in there and all along I've been eating this. I'm dead,' another shared. 'My mind is blown, Worcestershire sauce has anchovies?!' one exclaimed. 'Never knew that Worcestershire sauce contained anchovies,' another added. Many revealed they had always avoided Caesar salad but were happy to learn that the subtle salty, fishy flavour with a hint of umami came from Worcestershire sauce. 'YAY I've always wanted a non-fishy Caesar recipe,' one said. 'Omg I need to make this because when I found out about the anchovies in Worcestershire sauce, I stopped eating it,' another shared. 'This looks bomb - I hate anchovies so this I could do,' one added. Sydney top chef Graeme Hunt, the culinary operations manager at Felons Manly Wharf, told FEMAIL that Worcestershire sauce is a great replacement in recipes that call for anchovies. 'One of the ingredients in Worcestershire sauce is anchovies, which is probably surprising to most people. But having it in there adds a nice salty flavour, but is balanced out by other ingredients, like tamarind and vinegar,' Graeme said. 'Things that its often used in include Bloody Mary cocktails and oyster Kilpatrick. You could use it as a substitute for a recipe that calls for anchovies - but only a little dash. 'People are often fearful of seeing a whole anchovy in a dish, like as a topping on a pizza. But anchovies are frequently used in sauces for Caesar salad dressing or a pasta - you probably already unknowingly love it.'

Gordon Ramsay sightings in metro Detroit: Here's where
Was celebrity chef and reality cooking show star Gordon Ramsay in Detroit? It appears so. On various social media channels, there have been posts of Gordon Ramsay sightings. Those sightings included speculation that Ramsay and a crew were in town filming episodes of his new show, 'Secret Service" on the Fox Network. The show aims to examine major issues at struggling restaurants. Two metro Detroit restaurants that the celebrity chef allegedly may have visited included Boodles restaurant in Madison Heights and Firenze's Pizza in Warren. A June 3 Facebook post by Scanner of Warren showed pictures of Firenze's stating that Ramsay's "Secret Service" show was being filmed at the restaurant. According to the Firenze Restaurant and Pizzeria Facebook page, the family-owned spot on East 10 Mile Road in Warren is closed. The restaurant, the post stated, is reopening on Tuesday, June 10, with a "freshened up menu" promising customers that they will be "WOWWED!" by new menu items. What we do know, according to an Instagram post, is that Ramsay dined on June 8 at Grandma Bob's pizza spot in Corktown. 'We were honored and SO excited to have Chef Gordon Ramsey stop in to try our Detroit-style pie!,' according to the post. Grandma Bob's also asked, 'Wanna copy his order?!' and followed with: Caesar Salad 2 Greeks (the second Greek because he liked the first one so much) XL Pepperoni Sausage + Pistachio Pinot and Chianti The Free Press reached out via email to the FOX network, asking if Ramsay was filming the new show in the Detroit area. The network could not confirm if Ramsay's new show was filming here. A post on the website with a picture of Ramsay calls out for casting "struggling restaurants in or within 45 miles of Pittsburgh, Detroit or Cleveland." Ramsay's show, which premiered in May, is 'Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service.' Per the Fox TV network website, the weekly show features Chef Ramsay, with the help of a 'secret source' delivering inside restaurant intel on 'major issues facing each restaurant' that is featured on the episode. The source helps 'Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before' and other issues and problems the restaurant is facing. Ramsay is well known for his restaurants and various hit competitive TV shows, including Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef, MasterChef Jr., and Next Level Chef. On his shows, Ramsay is also known for his blunt and often in-your-face demeanor, bleeped-out foul language and harsh criticism.

For the series, Ramsay followed chefs and traveled to remote places in the world seeking out "culinary inspiration, epic adventures, and cultural experiences," National Geographic's website said. The episode featured diving among shipwrecks, helping monks at the Holy Transfiguration Skete, a Byzantine Catholic monastery in the Keweenaw Peninsula. It also featured Ramsay teaming up with chef James Rigato of award-winning Mabel Gray in Hazel Park.

Nando's confirms it has discontinued side dish that was a ‘great healthy option'
Scroll down to see when it was axed PERI BAD Nando's confirms it has discontinued side dish that was a 'great healthy option' NANDO'S fans have been left gutted after the chicken chain quietly axed a salad dish from the menu. The Leafy Green Salad – a light, fresh option topped with PERi-PERi seeds – has been discontinued, with the chain confirming it was removed back in October. Advertisement 4 The Leafy Green Salad was axed back in October 4 Nando's has now swapped it for a new addition: the Portuguese Tomato Salad Made with mixed salad leaves, a sweet and herby vinegar dressing, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and toasted PERi-PERi seeds, it was a go-to for fans looking for a healthier side to go with their flame-grilled chicken. It was introduced back in Nando's winter menu in November 2023. One customer posted the news on Reddit with the following caption, "It was great to have a healthy option." But Nando's has now swapped it for a new addition: the Portuguese Tomato Salad. Advertisement This vibrant new side is made with a mix of semi-dried, sweet baby and salad tomatoes, cucumber moons, and tangy pink pickled onions – all lightly dressed for a fresh summer feel. The chain said it 'hopes' the Tomato Salad will be a permanent fixture – but didn't confirm if it'll stick around for good. Meanwhile, there's some good news for fans of the cult classic Mediterranean Salad. 4 The cult classic Mediterranean Salad has returned Advertisement 4 For a limited time only the new Caesar Salad is available in Nando's across the UK Nando's revealed it's 'back at every Nando's across the UK and Ireland' – although it warned: 'It's here for a good time, not a long time.' That salad includes a medley of semi-dried and sweet baby tomatoes, olives, feta, cucumber moons and pink pickled onions on a bed of mixed leaves, drizzled with Rozendal vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Also hitting menus for a limited time is the new Caesar Salad – made with crunchy cos lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, grated Italian hard cheese and herby toasted croutons. Advertisement Nandos fans say as Aldi stocks a replica range - including their peri-peri fries for just £1.49 A Nando's spokesperson told The Sun said: 'We regularly make updates to our menus and introduce new ingredients and flavours which our fans love. "Leafy Green Salad came off the menu in October, but alternative salad options and sides are available.' OTHER DISCONTINUED ITEMS Fans of McDonald's recently said goodbye to the Minecraft Meal, which fans described as the first McDonald's 'adult Happy Meal' and a McFlurry as part of the change. Whilst, Costa Coffee axed a banana and chocolate muffin in March after it just launched in January. Advertisement Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. Sainsbury's recently confirmed it had discontinued its Patisserie Valerie cake slices from branches. Meanwhile, Aldi axed its popular Deli smoke pork sausages across 100 stores leaving shoppers devastated. Lidl dropped beloved fridge essential Dairy Manor lactose-free skimmed milk from shelves recently too. Sainsbury's has also axed popular own-brand Meat Free Steaks to customer frustration. Advertisement Baked goods giant Greggs recently caused a stir after dropping ham salad baguettes from menus, as exclusively revealed by The Sun. The lunch item was axed in favour of other fresh baguettes, despite its popularity among hungry shoppers. One customer posted on X: 'Was so upset to be told that your ham salad baguettes have been discontinued while at your Marlborough store today." 'That's my midweek treat every week and seems to be very popular.' Advertisement A second added: 'I would have loved a ham salad baguette but for some bizarre reason you have stopped doing them! Scandalous!" Meanwhile, Tesco shoppers were left baffled after finding out it had discontinued six-pint bottles of whole milk.
