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.
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.
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.
well, ackshually - The fishy ingredient in beer that bothers vegetarians - BBC
Well, ackshually akshually - drink German beer. With very few exceptions, it’s only allowed to contain barley, hops, yeast and water. That law has existed in some form for over 500 years.
It still allows using other substances in the production process if they are filtered out afterwards.
Which vegans would still reject.

That only applies to beer breweries in Bavaria. Not all of Germany is subject to that law.
Not true, you are not allowed to call it beer then
Only in Bavaria. I brewed beer for many years and am very familiar with the law which hit 500 years old in 2016.
Traditional Worchestershire sauce also contains fish.
All Worcestershire sauce. It’s fermented anchovy sauce with some spices.
Anything that doesn’t have the anchovy, isn’t Worcestershire sauce.

and the vegan version tastes exactly the same
It’s not bad, it’s not too far off and can be subsituted in most situations, but it’s certainly not exactly the same.

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?
most food is “vegan food”. have you ever had a potato?
I have which is why I don’t understand eg vegan burgers
why are carnists obsessed with stuffing intestinal linings with churned up flesh to make their food shaped like zucchini?
