I am trying to remember a particular German seasoning sauce I had a while ago. I was having some German made goulash when an older German guy had me try some of it on the dish. It was terrific!!! He said they use it like ketchup over there. I remember it was made by Maggi. Wurze maybe? Just don’t remember the actual name of the sauce just the brand.

Thank you. I figured w/ this place I should have an answer in about 12 seconds….

This stuff?

16 minutes. Well, it is the Independence Day Holiday…

I think you’re right kkina. I should have gave a longer response time estimate due to the holiday….

Sorry for the delay. Must be the holiday.

Try to find the German maggi, its more expensive but there is a difference in the taste. Also if you can find some lovage seeds and plant them, also known as a Maggi Plant, although Maggi is made from different ingredients, the leaves will give your food and soups a great Maggi taste.

Maggi nowadays belongs to the swiss Nestle group, and is manufactured in the north-west german town of Lüdinghausen (near Münster).

I remember that in my childhood my mother used it very often for seasoning... I have and use it in my kitchen as well, though not excessively...

In some areas of Germany, especially the Saarland, they have a much higher Maggi consumption (at least twice) compared to the rest of the country

What does this stuff taste like?

Maggi IMHO is comparable to soy sauce, salty and seasoned, although I find it a little more on the "meaty/roasty" side.

Have used Maggi in soups for years,like it better than soy sauce especially in meat orientated soups. Goulash etc.

Perfect!! Thanks to all. I have learned new things about Maggi. A worldwide company. Around here we have a lot of Mexican and Asian groceries. They all have shelves of Maggi stuff. I have learned I’m looking for the German one. The ones made for Central and South America are a little spicier. The products made for Poland is a little more sour. The Asian market ones have a different flavor, etc…. Interesting stuff.

Again, thank you.
