        It still allows using other substances in the production process if they are filtered out afterwards.
        Which vegans would still reject.

        A German guy once told me that the original penalty for violating that law was that the brewer was to be drowned in his own beer - to be fair, he was quite drunk at the time, so it might be complete bullshit.

          He’s confusing it with the law of Hammurabi, in which a brewer that is caught diluting his beer is sentenced thusly.

          German reinheitsgebot was not as severe, nor German (it was a Bavarian law, before Germany was a thing)

        All Worcestershire sauce. It’s fermented anchovy sauce with some spices.

        Anything that doesn’t have the anchovy, isn’t Worcestershire sauce.

          You can have anchovy free Worcestershire sauces. It’s actually a generic term for a class of fermented sauces, many have anchovies, but it is not a requirement

          Plenty of vegan Worcestershire sauces available, just like there’s vegan cheese and butter and milk and sausages and burgers and nuggets…

          You being a pedant/snob/militant carnivore/whatever isn’t going to stop people making vegan versions of things and calling them the thing. Because there’s no reason not to other than the hurt fee fees of people like you.

            There are vegan sauces that are quite nice, sure, they’re just not Worcestershire sauce.

            Hell, I’ll go further and say that if it’s not made by Lea and Perrins, it’s not Worcestershire sauce.

            Why are vegans obsessed with making cheap knockoff versions of nonvegan food? Cant they make their own foods?

                  why are carnists obsessed with stuffing intestinal linings with churned up flesh to make their food shaped like zucchini?

                    It would be weird if we called it carnivore zucchini. We don’t.

                    You’re welcome to call veggie burgers their own thing. They don’t need to be veggie burgers. Or vegan bacon. You can just call it “processed vegetable paste planks” or whatever gets your rocks off, honey. You don’t get to criticize us for our choice of food and also work as hard as you can to mimic that food, no matter how self-righteous you feel.

              Cause that way you can eat mac and cheese with hot dogs drowned in mayo without killing animals.
              Most vegans don’t do it for the health benefits, that’s just an excuse to tell others.
