When it comes to home cooking, immigrants from countries as far apart as Nigeria, the Philippines and Poland share a common ingredient. They all use a condiment called Maggi Seasoning. And they all think it belongs to them.

Feet in 2 Worlds’ Aurora Almendral produced a story about Maggi for PRI’s The World that aired on June 8. To hear it, click on the player below. And if that’s not enough of the sauce for you, listen to Aurora talk about Maggi on the Feet in 2 Worlds podcast and read her original article about the ubiquitous seasoning.
