Made chunky bolognaise in the Thermomix we inherited from my dad and it fucking rocked. Wasn't sure about the worcestershire sauce and the chilli flakes, but went with it - very glad I did.

Worcestershire sauce is a hidden gem and should be more widely used imo.

yep, i'll back this. same goes for Vegemite strangely.

True. But you really have to be careful to balance out the salt in vegemite. Worcestershire sauce has spice & umami but a whole lot less salt so I find it easier to use, especially by the splosh measurement. One of my faves is to dribble it on hot buttered brussels sprouts.
