Halford Leicestershire Table Sauce
19th-century condiment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Halford Leicestershire Table Sauce, also Halford sauce or Leicestershire sauce, was once as common a condiment in the United States as ketchup is today.[1] The product was similar to Worcestershire sauce,[2] with some recipes of the time using it interchangeably.[3]

Bottled in England, this sauce was imported to the United States via Boston. While the company producing it went out of business, because of its previously ubiquitous status in the late 19th century, its bottles are still considered collectable today.
