Worcestershire sauce is one of those pantry essentials for sauces, soups, meatloaf, and that Sunday brunch fundamental, the bloody mary. Is it really worth popping for a higher-priced sauce?
You can ponder that with your Lea & Perrins, or just spring for MKE-made Colonel Pabst Worcestershire, whose No. 1 ingredient is Lakefront Brewery amber lager. The Colonel’s sweet and salty plays nice in a tangy, cider-vinegar-ketchup BBQ sauce.
And in meatballs. Did I mention meatballs? Worth the extravagance. Two sizes ($9 and $14), at Sendik’s, Outpost Natural Foods & others; colonelpabst.com.
