>Worchestershire
Please don't hate me for this, but I'd like to respectfully correct you, with a bit of info on pronunciation that I hope will assist you in future.
I'm a Brit, and in England there's a town called Worcester (usually pronounced "wuster" rather than "war-sester"). It's in a county called Worcestershire (usually pronounced "wuster-shuh", sometimes "wuster-shire", but the "wuster" bit holds).
This county has a famous sauce, inevitably called Worcestershire sauce, that often contains anchovy extracts, hence the availability of vegetarian/vegan versions.
Hope that helps.

- hiram112 8y agoWe have the same problem. Until you hear a Massachusetts native tell you they're from Wahstur(??) - Worcester, you wouldn't have realized that US English still has a lot of varying accents, even after we've been thoroughly homogenized by mass media.
