A few words about the Worcestershire sauce.

It is a spicy liquid condiment, manufactured by the Lea & Perrins

company in the English town of Worcester. The industrial production of

this sauce begun in 1837. It can be added both to cooked and raw

dishes, but it's best with beef. It's a crucial ingredient of the

Cesar salad and Bloody Mary.

The original recipe requires malt vinegar, spirit vinegar, molasses,

sugar, salt, anchovy, tamarind, onion, garlic, and other spices.

From the manufacturer: Old legends say it comes from India, where it

had been adored by the colonial gourmets. In the British Empire,

thanks to efforts of a certain nobleman, who was badly enjoying the

sauce, it was recreated by the local chemists. Only after a few years

of fermentation, they happen to obtain the original taste and the

sauce spread all over the British Isles. Now it is one of the most

common condiment. This sauce is prepared according to the traditional

recipe from Alegar, wine vinegar, and an essence of long-term

fermentation of anchovy. The Worcestershire sauce is perfect for beef.

It is used as a component of other sauces too, and as a condiment for

soups, meat, veggies, and pasta.

Nutrition:

The bottle is pleasing to the eye. It has Lea & Perrins sign embossed

on the side.

The Lea & Perrins company has been manufacturing this sauce according

to the same, secret, and original recipe since 1837. Though it is

commonly know what kind of ingredient is, more or less, can be found

in the Worcestershire sauce, nobody has yet managed to recreate it

accurately.

I decided to try it on a pollock fillet and french fries.

The sauce has a dark brown color, though limpid enough to see some

spices inside.

How did it go?

Perfectly!

I've just discovered the secret of posh restaurants. This the taste of

my favorite (though not that sophisticated) dish, that I know from my

favorite restaurants.

The Worcestershire sauce will stay with me forever, and I'll test it

with whatever dish pops into my head.

I'm so for this sauce. Yes! Yes! Yes!

The sauce is absorbed in the food, so it becomes almost invisible, but

after the first bite, you can undoubtedly taste that it is there!

Delight in your mouth!

Black mascara Fabulous Lash (Miss Sporty)

From the manufacturer: Greatly lengthens and thickens eyelashes.

Choose yourself how thick you want your eyelashes to be: the more ink

the more thickness! It does not smudge, crumble, or stick your lashes.

Is that so?

I checked it out and it turns out that -- apart from a few high-end

brands -- 8ml is the most common volume of mascaras.

The following photo shows eyes without any mascara:

And these two pictures show the lashes with two and three layers of

ink respectively:

Effects: I was promised a mascara that does not smudge, does not

stick, and does not crumble. I got a mascara, which does smudge,

stick, and crumble a bit, but it really lengthens the lashes. The

eyelashes are longer, but the mascara left some clumps, which are

really not very attractive. My eyelashes lost some volume, because

they were stuck together. Yet more, the lower lashes left black marks

on the lower eyelid.

Let's look at the wand.

In theory: the ending is cone-shaped, is designed to deliver much

mascara at the first application. The applicator makes the lashes

longer and increases their volume. This kind of applicator in

combination with a right mascara can do a lot - extend the lashes,

increase their volume, curl them. Tapered tip allows you to access

shorter and hard to reach lashes.

The big downside of the applicator is that some unwanted mascara

accumulates at the end of the wand, which is rather messy and makes it

hard to paint the shortest lashes.

Final assessment: If someone is willing to put some effort to the

painting of her eyelashes, this mascara can achieve quite interesting

results. However, you need to comb the eyelashes glued together. It is

not suitable if you are in a hurry, because of the clumps (but only on

long eyelashes), and black marks on the eyelids. On the other hand,

the very low price is really encouraging. Next time I need a low-cost

mascara, I will most certainly consider this one (especially that it

really lengthens lashes).

I recommend to all who want to save money, but have the time to

correct mistakes of the mascara.
