My favourite story about all that was the one about Worcestershire Sauce … a bunch of English guys who had never been to India wanted to make their own fish sauce but it didn’t work out, so they stored their barrel of stuff in the basement and forgot about it … they found it a year later, tasted it and noticed that it didn’t kill them or make them sick, so they sold it as Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
