I also had no idea. I narrowed it to two, then chose the wrong one.

Interestingly enough, asafoetida is often found in Worcestershire sauce. (The label will not mention it, it's lumped in with 'spices'.)

It's considered an umami ingredient, Indian food experts say it rounds out the flavors of other ingredients and spices.
