"SecretRecipe" news and stories

A 170-year-old food secret was almost lost to the trash heap.

The original recipe notes for Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce have been unearthed in a dumpster near the sauce factory by former company accountant, Brian Keogh. It was unclear why he was digging through the trash.

The accountant passed away in 2006, but his discovery only recently came to light after his daughter Bonnie Clifford brought the notes to Worcester City Museums.

Do you remember those Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials from all those years back? You know, the ones that touted the Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices. Turns out, that blend is such a secret that when the company (now simply known as KFC) realized that the combination of vaults and locks might be a little vulnerable, they hired a security company to beef up the level of protect, and used an armored guard to move the recipe from one location to another. That's one special spice blend. The video of the transfer is after the jump.
