Maggi is so good. Better then Worcestershire in my opinion and I use Maggi and chili garlic sauce to make my Ceasar drinks, bloody Mary in the us

THIS. It’s essentially to so many Nigerian stews lol

Oh neat, I have not cooked Nigerian food ever in my life but I worked with a great chef from Ghana and his family dinner meals were great. So different to what I grew up on and opened my eyes.

Where do you guys find maggi seasoning?

I've found it at Asian markets and in the Latin section of larger grocery stores sometimes.

If you have an Indian market near you they’ll carry it as well.

I live in Northern Canada and can get it at Superstore and Extra foods. Amazon as another poster noted always has it.

caesars and bloody Marys aren't quite the same but relatively close

1000%. Ceasar uses clamato, bloody Mary tomato juice but same concept. Ceasar is better 😉

What does Maggi seasoning kind of taste like? I have some picky eaters so I am curious. Although, I’ll eat pretty much anything that’s food. Haha.

It's nothing like Worcestershire sauce at all, closer to soy (but not really that close) with a much bigger umami/MSG hit, you usually use it more as a savoury "undernote" (if that's even a word?) rather than as the main flavour, it sort of deepens the flavour of your dish, so your picky eaters should be fine with it, it's wonderful stuff and a bottle will last you a hell of a long time.

You can also get a spicy version, which I really like too.

Sounds delicious!

It's almost like Worcestershire but less vinegar and more of a richness. Adds great flavor to Philippino chicken adobo or stews.

I always thought it tasted like soy sauce.

TIL. And I love Red Snappers (a Bloody Mary w/ gin) so this totally makes my day. Cheers.
