Worcestershire sauce, also known as Worcester sauce, is a fermented liquid condiment created in the city of Worcester in Worcestershire, England, during the first half of the 19th century. It is made from vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, onions, garlic, anchovies, tamarind extract, and spices. Worcestershire sauce is a common ingredient in many dishes, including steak, fish, and salads.
The pronunciation of Worcestershire sauce has been a matter of debate for many years. The traditional pronunciation, which is still used by many people in England, is “wooster-sheer“. However, in the United States, the pronunciation “wor-chester-sheer” is more common. Both pronunciations are considered acceptable.
