In fact, according to Wikipedia (which is never wrong), a pair of 
chemists were contracted to attempt to duplicate an Indian curry powder 
recipe. Then somebody came up with the idea that maybe you could put 
this stuff into solution to make a sauce. So they mixed up a few barrels 
of the stuff and... discovered it was so awful that you couldn't 
possibly eat it. The barrels lay locked in a cellar, forgotten, for some 
years. When next somebody tasted the contents, they discovered that it 
had fermented and become really quite pleasent.

And THAT is why a lad's head is full of rubbish. Er, no, wait - and THAT 
is how Woctershire Sauce was invented.
