I grew up in western Mass...there was a town not far away called Worchester...but it was pronounced "Wooster." I use the same pronunciation for the Woostershire sauce.

i always get shit from my sister for not saying Lancaster correctly.

my response is im not british so fuck off.

 

[Scarpozzi]

What's more interesting is how they make it. It's basically a sauce comprised of fermented fish (anchovies or sardines), vinegar, and vegetables.

Is that not German, due to all of the Pennsylvania "Dutch" living in Lancaster county?

I once lived on a Lancaster St in the Midwest, and tried using the correct lank-ess-ter pronunciation only to be met with blank stares...so I gave up and went back to the boring lan-cast-er

Massachusetts also has a system of naming towns that is like a grab bag of common words:

1. A cardinal direction
2. Spring, Mash, Wal, Ham, Brook
3. Field, Burgh, Ton, Bridge, Wood, Land, Cester

Choose any combination. Easthampton? Sure. North Brookfield? Why not? Westmashtonhambrookbridgefieldcester? OK. And then, for good measure, ignore how it's spelled and pronounce it in a way that exists solely to confuse outsiders. Worcester... yeah, it sounds like Elmer Fudd talking about male chickens. You know, a rorcester?

Fucking Massachusetts.

In england, anywhere with the suffix 'cester' (or 'chester' or 'caster') is a former roman army camp (a castra), so the 'C' is a hard sound. but in the case of 'cester' the C isn't pronounced at all, instead the form is contracted to 'ster'

Maybe was a Mid Western thing, I grew up saying Worst-a-shire, more or less.

If it doesn't look like something a tiny wino would buy, it ain't no Worcestershire I want!

Woosh-ter-sher

dumb-ass...there ain't no "h" in the word to make the "sh" sound...

Why that's as stupid as pronouncing "Illi-Noise" as Illi-Noy." ;rolleyes:


:whiste:

Same here. I put it on hamburgers with a little salt and pepper before cooking them and of course I use it in making BBQ sauce and bloody marys
