BA: Worcester Sauce is for men
Today my colleague asked for Worcester sauce to flavour up her dish (it is on the drinks trolley). The following dialogue follows.
Crew: Worcester sauce, really? But it's for men!
Colleague (laughing): Am sure I can handle it
Crew: It's really for drinks only
[fetches the sauce nevertheless]
Crew: Here you go darling
The strangest sentences I have ever heard from the mouth of an airline crew.

I had a similar experience on a 06:30 ALC run from Gatters when I asked for a bloody mary. "You're starting early" came the playful reply from the CC. When I asked for the full works I was greeted with a flirty: "You like it spicy do you?". I must admit we both laughed and I trotted off the plane with another miniature or two.

How bizarre, Worcestershire sauce can pep up a lot of bland food (or food made bland through being served at low air pressure and low humidity) as it has umami which is the only taste which works well under flying conditions. Why it would just be for men I have no idea, some people have some odd ideas.
I think it's perfect reasonable to ask for it for food, I wish they did 50ml bottles so I could keep one with me next to my emergency bottle of Tabsaco and sachet of celery salt.
