WORCESTERSHIRE Sauce? Or Worcester Sauce? The city's most famous product has been the subject of extensive online debate after an opinion piece went viral.

A piece for Mail Online written by Tom Utley entitled "The woke mob can rant for all they're worth, but I'll keep adding Worcester sauce to my spag bol" has been trending on Twitter across the UK today with hundreds of social media users pointing out the name is incorrect.

In the piece, he points out that while his use of the beloved condiment in his recipe for Spaghetti Bolognese has been criticised, cooks such as Mary Berry, Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver have all made controversial additions to dishes over the years.

He also hits out at critics of so-called "cultural appropriation" by arguing the recipes we know and love today are at times totally different to the originals.

He wrote: "The truth is that since the dawn of international trading, mankind has been culturally appropriating recipes, fashion tips, words, religions, artistic genres, scientific discoveries and economic and political systems from foreign societies.

"It’s only in this deranged modern world that fanatics have come to believe that adopting good ideas is a vile crime."

Since the publication of the piece, Worcester has been trending on Twitter, with users weighing in with their opinions.

What do you think of the issue? Is cultural appropriation a problem?
