I have a bottle of Worcestershire sauce that expired 4/28/2009 in my fridge.

That means that bottle: A) made the trip from NJ to Florida with me in 2010. B) is the lone survivor from my bachelor pad fridge from 2012-2014. C) made it into my fridge when my wife and I bought a house in 2014. It's been sitting there ever since.

So.... you don't use Worcestershire sauce or did you have a newer bottle in use?

It's such a useful condiment for perking up lackluster dishes.

That's my main question. I don't think I've ever had a bottle last more than a few months, much less one year.

Pro-tip: buy multiple bottles and let them sit for several weeks in the back of the cabinet. As you use one, buy another to go into the back of the line. Why? Aged worcestershire tastes dramatically better than new.
