okay folks, listen up this is not difficult

[MissMillie]

Worcestershire sauce

Pronounced: wus ta sure sauce

[NightWatcher]

1. wus ta sheer

Now I've said it so many times to myself that nothing sounds right.

Screw it, call it Steak Sauce and be done with it.

[Codeine]

2. Woos sta sheer.

Alternative pronunciation; "Fuck no that shit has anchovies in it."

[kentauros]

5. I just bought some more of the vegan kind the other day.

Although I recently fell in love with the chipotle version of Tabasco sauce. However, I don't know what the "natural flavor" is, mentioned at the end of the ingredients list. If it turns out to be animal-based, I'll be pissed, and have to figure out how to make my own...

10. "Natural flavor" in chipotle hotsauce is probably liquid smoke or powderized dried smoked chipotles.

Dried chipotle peppers have a strong smoky note to their flavor that wouldn't be assertive in the hot sauce unless added.

You're not the first person to wonder about this:

11. Thank you :)

I hate that "natural flavor" is even allowed to be listed as an ingredient. I was reading on another site that the only way to be sure is to call the manufacturer, and even then you might not learn anything.

[kentauros]

3. I reserve the right to say "wor-ses-ter-shi-er"

Same for "p'ho-nix"

[LiberalElite]

6. WUS ta sheer

[Tobin S.]

7. Are you sure it's not war-chest-er-shire?

[rug]

8. Ketchup.

[rurallib]

9. worst-er-sher

[TorchTheWitch]

12. when I was a kid we used to pronounce it "Wister shister"

Us kids anyway. For some reason we thought it was funny. Even now I still have to be careful not to say it like that.

One of my brothers used to try to make it sound even more stupid like "Wwwwwwwwwwwister SHIsTer".

Ok, so kids can be weird.

13. Apropos of nothing..

I used to have a father-in-law who pronounced hors d'oeuvres as "whore divorce" without any suggestion of irony or levity. That's how he always heard them pronounced.

[cyberswede]

14. LOL

That's funny!

[TeeYiYi]

18. Wouldn't it be...

...Whore's Divorce?

TYY

[Ron Obvious]

21. Well, if he'd been totally phonetic...

I suppose he would've called them "horse doovers", but that would sound distinctly unappetising.

[pipi_k]

19. I know...

someone who calls them "whore's ears".

[tandot]

15. Wustershear

or ... as I call it ... fuckthatsauce ...

[Joe Shlabotnik]

16. Worchester; despite how its spelled

I had my incredibly snooty but very lovable and educated Icelandic book keeper point out to me that its not wor-chester-shire sauce its..worchester sauce. I felt like like Yosemite Sam, but she acknowledged that I make a damn good steak with sauteed mushrooms.

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. WRONG!

Pronounced "What's this here sauce"




Or, perhaps "Wooster-sher"

Or...how about "any damned way one cares to"?

[pipi_k]

20. Even out here

in the western part of the state, we pronounce it

Woos-tah-shur sauce


Although the city of Worcester itself is "Woos-ter"

[MissMillie]

22. I work in Worcester

No one here says "woo" when they say "Worcester"

they say "wuss"

[pipi_k]

23. Yeah, we do too

except I spelled it "woos" instead of "wuss"


same pronunciation, different spelling


Only thing different would be the sound at the end...out there it's "tah".

Here it's "ter"
