Steak Sauce

Asked by ELIEZER · April 14, 2004 · Passover

Question

You said this was kosher for peasak: Lea & Perrins - the original Worcestershire Sauce Kosher for Passover? The ingredients are: Vinegar, molasses, high fructose corn syrup, anchovies, water, hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, onions, tamarinds, salt, garlic, cloves, chili peppers, natural flavorings and shallots. What about the corn? Kitniyot!!! Right? And, as a side, question, how can we be sure the "molasses" is kosher at all? What's in it? And, also, I've been told that "natural falvorings" are soemtimes bugs and other non-kosher things. True?

Don't believe everything they tell you on the streets, or in the beauty parlors. Shulchan Aruch and the Halacha dictates our lives, not rumours and stories. Kitniyot is Batel Berov. Look it up. Is corn Kitniyot? Hmmm! I don't know. Why should it be? Was it around in the days of this custom? I'm real curious. AA
