i recently made a new recipe
and
finally used my worcestershire sauce!
like finding an old friend
nothing had really changed
still can’t pronounce your name
still in that familiar bottle
how nice to bump into you
so long until i see you again
whenever that might be.

worcestershire sauce
and we couldn’t say it right.”

During my 8+yrs in England I learned to say the W-Word: Woostersauce…. it’s easy peasy, like Gloucester = Glaster…. and more.
Always happy to help 😊 👍🏻🤔😷😇

Ha…. how did you guess (so wrongly?🙃)
I’m the person nobody places correctly (ok, I’m Swiss, but being trilingual w/E from the UK and USA, F from 🇨🇭 and France, German from school and Swiss German from every place in Switzerland, plus Italian thrown in just for fun and amore/mangiare…. it IS difficult). But I feel honored!

I have a way to remind myself how to pronounce it. I say in my head Rooster and then Sher. Then I know that the rooster is pronounced more like woosta. Also, when I go through this process I never ever look at the bottle or the actual words so it doesn’t throw me off.

I actually looked up how to say it…wuss-ter-sher. I still like saying wor-cester-shire. I guess it’s a sauce from some shire in England, originally by chemists, not cooks.

I’ve used it all my life. It never gets into the cupboard; it’s always out on the counter. In my family we’ve never removed the entire wrapper. We just tear off the part above the gold neckband. Not sure why, other than it catches any drips.
