▶ The original recipe that brought many a smile on the

Edwardes. Edwardes, originally of Rhyd-y-gors, Carmarthenshire, was a
veteran of the Napoleonic wars and held the position of Deputy-
Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire. He is believed to have brought the
recipe home after travels in India. The article does not say how the
recipe found its way to Messrs Lea and Perrins.
When the recipe was first mixed at the pharmacy of John Wheeley Lea
and William Henry Perrins, the resulting product was so strong that it
was considered inedible and the barrel was abandoned in the
basement. Looking to make space in the storage area a few years later,
the chemists decided to try it again, and discovered that the sauce had
fermented and mellowed and was now palatable. In 1838 the first
bottles of "Lea & Perrins ________________ sauce" were released to
the general public
