Sour sauce - why?

[AyG]

Every supermarket in Thailand stocks locally made versions of Worcestershire sauce (known here as sɔ́ɔt prîaw), but I don't think I've ever read a Thai recipe that calls for it. Can anyone enlighten me as to what it's used for? Thanks.

Young Thai girls use it to oil their ATMs!

The Chinese like it.

They dip fried foods in it...................Amongst other things.

I have used this as a marinade for pork chops for years, also put on my roast pork at the table, great on cheese and fried eggs, this and H.P sauce is the only sauce I use, but it has got to be Lee and Perrings sauce no other tastes the same

Never heard of that one but i've tried Lea and Perrins. It's certainly a poor second to Hendersons Relish made in Sheffield.

It also goes well in (farang) soup, and with scrambled eggs,

(but in my opinion it will ALWAYS be a poor substitute for Hendersons Relish!)

Oh dear, Mr Nanapong got in just before I uploaded this comment.

Well said sir, we both know where we originate from!

Yes i'm from Sheffield , the red and white side. I have 2 bottles of Hendersons in my fridge at the moment brought recently by a friendly Sheffield lad. Use it mainly for stews or big pans of hash. He also brought a box of Lion wine gums , Rolos , Crunchies , Cadburys Caramels and loads of tinned stuff from Marks n Spencers on Fargate. So , at the moment i'm spoilt for choice with goodies but i'll be needing another courier soon.

I love my parcels from home...
Chocolate is high on the list of wanted items

As for the sauce, the Thais use it on eggs and some rice dishes
