spelling unimportant but pronounced “Woogy”

Lea & Perrins?

It’s Worcestershire.
4x syllables

EDIT> Ha! just read your link. That’s Worcester Sauce the beer, its made by st georges at Callow End brewery just down the road (I know the guy that owns the brewery)

*Goes to cupboard to check bottle of Lea & Perrins*

Worcestershire. (3 syllables)

Sorry it’s ‘Wusster’ sauce. (nowt to do with ‘wuss’)

4x syllables

essel, nail, head.

WOOGY 👿 🙄

(unless at a star wars convention)

ya wot Ton ? wots that ? hahaha

All I know is that it’s great on cheese on toast nom nom!

There was me expecting a request for a keyring 🙁

TL;DR, however,

Sorry it’s ‘Wusster’ sauce.

… is the right answer.

It was no small revelation to my cooking practices when I found Wooster sauce was made of anchovies!

People who live 4000 miles away in “Saying things slightly differently” shocker!

Mine doesn’t, I get veggie Wooster sauce.

Walking distance for me (well I’ve certainly run there a few times), and there’s a chap with kids at my son’s school who drives round in a SGB van. Means we get decent beer at the school dos 🙂 Was mightily disappointed when Trick or Treating at his house that he was only handing out sweets.

I get veggie Wooster sauce.

Not proper stuff then.

veggie Wooster sauce

Good grief, is nothing sacred?! 🙁 😉

veggie Wooster sauce

Henderson’s relish innit.

Henderson’s relish innit.

Oh right. It’s quite nice that stuff. It’s not Worcestershire Sauce though, it’s… well… Henderson’s relish. Tastes very distinct from Lea and Perrins to me. It even calls itself ‘Yorkshire Sauce’ to differentiate itself. (Presumably that’s pronounced something like “Yrr sauce”?)

Henderson’s relish innit.

No.

*shoegazes* oh… ok then.

No.

Ah – that’s “Worcester Sauce”. I thought we’d already established that the proper stuff is “Worcestershire Sauce”.

Given that one place is a subset of the other, I don’t see as it makes any odds.

If you lived a mile outside the city limits you might consider the distinction more significant 😉

Incidentally,

Has anyone tried Lancashire sauce?

Looks something like Worcester(shire) Sauce with mustard or some such. I keep meaning to get a bottle but never quite got round to it.

lancashire sauce…lol is there a ‘Yorkshire Sauce’ so we can have a battle on who lives across the border and is not eating the wrong sauce 😉
