PSA: Worcestershire Sauce - GoFuckYourself.com

DamianJ · 02-07-2012, 04:07 PM

Watching American cookery shows on food network here, it seems there is some problem with how to pronounce Worcestershire Sauce.

It's woo-ster.

Woo-ster Sauce.

Woo-ster-sheer sauce.

Elli · 02-07-2012, 04:12 PM

I call it "were-chester-shire" because it's funny

You don't pronounce Cheshire that way.. the shire part is not pronounced sheer.. it sounds out like shur

Cheshur
Lancashur

etc etc

Damian is right though.. it's pronounced wooster sauce in the UK.. fuck the shire! ;)

Looks like three syllables, so woo-ster is out. Sorry Damien.

I was born and raised in England.. I left there when I was 21.. I never called it Woostersheer.. I always called it Wooster, that's what I base my info on

This thread reminds me of Jeeves and Wooster though.. what an awesomely funny show that was

Why · 02-07-2012, 04:34 PM

just because the americans cant say it right, doesnt mean we should adopt the incorrect way the brits say it!

Nope I never call it by the full name either, if naughty visions (who must wank to much, had looked) his magic wikipedia link also says:

Worcester sauce (play /ˈwʊstər/ wuus-tər)

Is what I and pretty much anyone English calls it.

Didn't know you was from England, where abouts are you from originally? I'm an ex-pat aswell. But haven't been gone that long yet.

If the Americans can't say it right, doesn't mean we should adopt the correct way the Brits say it you mean?

I was born in Beaconsfield, down south.. my Dad was in the RAF so we moved around a lot, I guess if I had to call anywhere in England 'home' it would be in Nottinghamshire. I moved to Canada at 21, I'm 35 now and I'm currently living in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

Whereabouts are you from Si?

Seems like you have your panties in a bunch. Your pronunciation is for "worcester." The one I posted is for "worcestershire." "Worcestershire" is the word Damian typed in his original post.

The full quote from wikipedia:

Worcestershire sauce (i/ˈwʊstərʃər/ wuus-tər-shər),[1] or Worcester sauce ( /ˈwʊstər/ wuus-tər)

So, your "corrected pronunciation" to me was for a different word. Try again.

Cool! I'm from just north of Brighton, down south aswell. I moved to Canada at 21 aswell

been here 3 or 4 years so still not lost my accent yet (and hopefully won't).

Man after 3 or 4 years I was already losing my accent, but then my Mom is Canadian so maybe that helped me to have a soft British accent. Nowadays some people seem to think I sound Australian ..

Wikipedia ignores the real way of spelling/saying things, thats why colour (for example) is always spelt wrong on that site.

V_RocKs · 02-07-2012, 07:19 PM

It is fish fermented to the point of becoming a goo... (that's goo, not poo, CS!)

Who in the fuck figured out you can put a dab of it in something and it makes the entire flavor better?

From what I can remember, a prominent African king was known for his love of all things culinary. Every month he'd have his top chefs create something new for him, until one day the head chef created, as was mentioned earlier, a sauce based on fermented fish and whatnot. The king took one taste of the sauce and insisted to learn, "Whas dis here sauce?!?"

And that's how it came to be.

bronco67 · 02-07-2012, 09:59 PM

Make sure when you say it at the dinner table, to use a Yosemite Sam imitation. That will lighten the mood and make your family forget they hate each other for a few fleeting seconds.

Spunky · 02-07-2012, 10:01 PM

Always pronounced it wuss-ter-shar sauce

Jakez · 02-07-2012, 10:03 PM

I always say it like "wershershire sauce" in a Sean Connery voice.

Thanks for the clarification, although I must admit to being somewhat disappointed, after you briefly piqued my interest....

Fletch XXX · 02-08-2012, 06:01 AM

american cooking shows?

ummmm,.... lol

rachel ray is not a chef. ;)

the last good ameerican cooking show was https://youtube.com/watch?v=eK4umRMJlrs

but him and my people were here before it was america, so its not american cooking, its CAJUN COOKING! the best cooking.

i havent watched television since the saints went to superbowl lol i have no idea about those shows... but i know american food cooking shows are terrible.

people like rachel ray are not even professional chefs, they are celebrities but people like her cant even bake. How can you be on tv do cooking shows and you cant bake? lol

cant stand the new breed of celeb chefs,... i spend a lot of time in the kitchen but i dont watch those shows. as you said they cant even prounounce ingredients correctly and makes americans look dumb.

Everyone calls it wuus-ter sauce, so no your point doesn't really matter.

By the way, I prefer knickers.

I watch plenty of English TV still so maybe that helps. One thing I like in Canada is most people know the accent. I have only been asked if I'm Australian once

Someone thought I was Scottish aswell for some reason

Tom_PM · 02-08-2012, 08:21 AM

I havent had the stuff since I was a kid anyway, heh. Speaking of culinary.. it's supposed to follow the "cu" rule of english. Making the primary pronounciation like "kyoo-linary". You almost never hear that though. Topics for dinner table arguments.

Can't wait to tell my wife that one of the major ingredients in worcestershire sauce is anchovies.

Must also remember to mention that the onions and garlic sit there for 2 years before they start.

Nickatilynx · 02-08-2012, 09:31 AM

Don't even get me started on the other words Americans pronounce incorrectly.

"Derby" , "basil" , "herb" , "en route" , "niche"....
