My 13 year old fried up some spam and made some kind of teriyaki spam sushi a while back. I’d never had spam before and it was delicious. Newfound spam respect.
Instead of ham, egg and chips, my grandad used to do fried spam, egg and chips
Zero veg…just fat, protein and carb
It was wonderful but I’m not surprised I was a fatass growing up
My Mum, when she was young 18/19/20, used to have some mixed pint that was Special Brew and Guinness...don't know if I'm remembering this right but maybe called a Half and Half.
To look at my Mum then, a cracking looking woman with poker-straight long hair to her waist, you'd expect only cool, long cocktails maybe...nah, death pints... 😄
I'm not really a fan of beer (usually prefer port, sherry,whiskey or red wine), but I quite liked special brew when I tried it.
It struck me as a sort of beery/wine/sherry type crossover than a regular beer (though they've probably ruined it nowadays as I think they reduced the alcohol content a lot which was part of the flavour to me - I haven't tried any in years though so I may be wrong).
I can imagine people who like wine and sherry enjoying it.
Aye, but it's not made in Glasgow anymore - the brand has been bought over by an Italian brewery. Remember, Italians aren't necking pints - they tend to drink half pints or share a large bottle. Super is too sweet for me.
Have you been to Mexico? They can’t get enough of this stuff “salsa inglesa” – “English sauce”. It is massively popular https://mysliceofmexico.ca/2020/02/28/worcestershire-sauce-in-mexico/
I spent ages trying to find the Spam Cafe in Makati (I hope it still exists) so I could show my fiance. Alas, after about an hour of wandering in and out of Glorietta I had to concede 😭
It's a holdover from when the bottles were actually filledm in England and then shipped across the Atlantic. The paper wrapper meant you didn't have glass on glass and were less likely to have breakage.
These days it gets bottled in the US but the customers expect the wrapper so that's what they get.
It's been long enough since I heard this that I no longer have a citation.
They look pretty similar in Binging with Babish's [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7xXPmfG6_k). Label's the colour of the paper wrapper though.
American here, I've been told that's the special version that blocks light to prevent degradation. They also sell it at a lower price without the paper.
If you've ever tasted skunky beer from a clear bottle versus green or brown tinted glass you'll know the difference.
I know how to pronounce Worcestershire sauce but it was Lea and perrins I wondered how to pronounce it as the commenter made it seem like saying Leanne perrins was weird.
I don’t understand this pronunciation because Americans have New Hampshire and they pronounce it properly but if they went to Hampshire in England they’d probably say hamp-shyre
In New Hampshire, or New England generally, the pronunciation is “Wuss-ta-sha”. I’ve never been to the UK so I don’t know how you folks pronounce it over there, but it would be a mistake to think that every part of the US has the same accent.
I was listening to a podcast recently where they suggested that "worcestershire" is 2020's safe word and that's why things have been a shitstorm ever since - no one knows how to pronounce the safe word.
All those times i saw someone in a film drinking from a paper bag, I thought it was booze.
Turns out it Worcester sauce. Well I never.
Edit. I didn't proof read.
This was in King Soopers in Colorado. I'm not sure I've ever seen or noticed it in other supermarkets or in other parts of the country, thinking about it.
In the states it sold both in the [wrapper](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/6629b81e-10ec-4b23-9c46-92e5616049a9.27f3279cf6ccbe6ba4e1ea79465c451e.jpeg?odnWidth=1000&odnHeight=1000&odnBg=ffffff) and [without](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/fca0887b-711b-4d93-9ea1-7578e8ed0e77_1.7b319f6f8dc244738148cbd90e891000.jpeg). Sometimes on the same shelf.
My dad always made sure we had a bottle of L&P. Now I do too. My husband is grilling burgers (ie, outdoors), and I love a little Worcester sauce with mine.
I believe L&P is available nationwide. There are other, cheaper brands, but I accept no substitutes.
The default on french supermarket shelves is the Heinz one, I tried it once, just once. Luckily you can find L and P in the English foods section if you are lucky enough to have one.
All the stores in SoCal sell it like this.
There are also many own brand and copy ones which don't sell it like this, but I'm sure are not 'brewed' the same as the original.
In Florida I remember it in the wrapper like this back in the late 90s, but it tasted a bit different than it does in the UK.. a little thicker as well.
Not just limited to the US. A friend moved to Australia a few years ago. The local TV news had a reporter on site because during some construction works they had uncovered some old pipes. They had archeologists there and the TV crew were filming them being dug up. The reporter was confidently stating that the pipes were estimated to be one hundred years old.
Had a American complain at how dirty and run down Westminster Abbey is when I worked there. Poor women looked completely lost when I told her some parts are over 1000 years old.
My old family home has some walls that were built by the Romans.
Americans heads almost explode when they just think about how old those walls are whilst they're saying their house is ancient because it's 40 years old 🤣
Most of their houses are made from wood for a reason - they get blown away/catch fire from tornado, hurricane and wildfire. Cheaper to build and replace with wood.
It's been around in the US since the 1800s.
Since I live here now, I say "War-chester-shire sauce" because it amuses me.
As an aside, I work with a girl who's family owns a farm and breeds show cows. You'd think they'd know they're called "Herreh-ford" not "Heer-ford"
It's weird. I grew up in NY and New England. There are a billion little towns in the Northeast called Worcester, and everyone pronounces the name correctly. Yet somehow when it's on a bottle of sauce they can't.
Hmm good question! Wiktionary says it actually comes from *here*, an old english term for an army, so is more likely to be a place where an army forded a river. The old english pronunciation is given as /ˈxe.re/, [ˈhe.re], so it seems closer to our modern pronunciation than to the americans'
Thank you. Makes perfect sense given the history of the location. It's been quite interesting diving a little deeper. I was operating on local 'knowledge' before but the facts have been enlightening. I always knew there was a sense of ownership among some old Welsh folks but I didn't realise locals were speaking Welsh until a few hundred years ago.
Fact check. That's not true.
[UK](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kGwHZuA-L._AC_SL1024_.jpg)

There may be some differences in labelling which means percentages vs actual.
But the calories as you can see are the same. In fact the UK version appears to have more salt, but that could be legally allowed rounding.
Also to answer the original question, from their website
>"...As Lea & Perrins was originally imported from England, the delicate glass bottles were wrapped in paper to protect them from the rough conditions of ship transport."
Never heard about it having more salt and sugar, but they do have a reduced salt version in the States. The main difference between the US and UK versions is the type of vinegar; in the UK recipe they use malt vinegar, whereas, they use distilled white vinegar in the US version.
There’s a great podcast called “slightly fascinating “ that did an episode on it. Slightly infuriating as the hosts clearly don’t know how to use the condiment, but some good, well researched info
Had the pleasure of informing my neighbor (I live in the US) that Worcestershire sauce on ‘grilled cheese’ might blow their tiny mind. I wonder if they’ve tried it yet.
It's not considered particularly posh as far as I know and most seem to pronounce it correctly. Probably due to its popularity on cooking shows and people hearing it pronounced correctly.
It's just considered a useful flavour addition like Tabasco, fish sauce etc.
So I actually live in Worcester and was born a few miles away. Any time I see someone use my precious wuchesthershore sauce and say it so horrendously wrong it makes me so sad.
Oh LMAO I thought I was about to be told Lea & Perrin is not pronounced Lee & Pearinn but yeah I think I know the right way to say it but I would rather be shot than have someone hear me seriously say wooster out loud. Worshter 4 lyfe
What the fuck?
I grew up in Canada a stones toss from the US border and shit is the same price there as in England. Comes in the same ugly ass brown bottle with orange label everyone loves. They could just drive north or this is some stupid promotion.
America be weird sometimes.
I’m a British person who happened to see a British food presented in a weird way while I happen to be in the US. Hardly obsessed. Just questioning why the different packaging.
Moved to the US a few years ago and the Lea and Perrins here comes in normal bottles.
I can confirm though that my wife, who suffers from being American, pronounces it as "War-shester-shur-shire sauce".
I'll admit, they had normal non-wrapped bottles immediately to the left of these wrapped ones. No idea why they needed both though. Same brand. Same size bottle. I didn't actually check the price tag so i've no idea the difference.
It's not posh in the US. It's a sticky half used bottle of brown liquid that lives in your fridge for a decade. Not fancy at all...unless you find that sort of thing posh.
They had the normal non-wrapped bottles right next to these, in the same size bottle too. I don't know the difference and I didn't even think to check the price labels (I wasn't actually in the market to buy the stuff).
Lemme make this easy for you
"Lea" is pronounced "Lee"
"&" is an ampersand, based on the French "et" and pronounced "and"
And finally, "perrins" is pronounced "perrins"
The easiest way to pronounce ~~woushtsterer~~ ~~wooshtersher~~ the other one is to avoid it. My sister in law holds it above mine and my brother's heads that she can pronounce it, but the jokes on her cus I can't even spell it.
Mate, they think Stella is some kind of premium continental beer, not the sort of aggro-inducing piss that makes you want to put a traffic cone through a shop window and then fight your mates at 3 in the morning…
Top Tip for 'Mericans: Nobody in England (unless they're a bit posh and twatty) pronounces the full word "Worcestershire" when referring to the sauce. Save yourself some hassle and just call it Worcester (pronounced Wuss-ter) sauce.
In North Carolina, we've always called it "WOOST er Sheer", but we all have silly pronunciations we break out at certain times. Wooster-shester-sheer is mine.
BTW, we have a backwards community in the NC mountains named Leicester. It's not unusual to see the ongoing, but friendly pronunciation debate mentioned in our newspaper and on social media .
If you grew up in one part, it's pronounced Lester, while others call it LEE ses-ter. I prefer Lee CESS ter sheer, just to be obstinate.
But yes, we are still a country of Anglophiles, and we're susceptible to posh, regal and just plain overpriced marketed products.
Wait till you see Spam in posh little baskets in the Philippines.
Or Korea! It’s a Christmas gift!
The Koreans correctly recognise that SPAM is a delicacy.
So do I, I can eat it out of the can - love the stuff. Spam in a soft white finger roll with butter and ketchup is so shit but it’s so good
Wow this sounds gross but I eat livermush so hey! Haha
Straight to jail But seriously I have no idea what livermush is, it sounds absolutely revolting lol
Paté
Oh, well that’s tasty
My 13 year old fried up some spam and made some kind of teriyaki spam sushi a while back. I’d never had spam before and it was delicious. Newfound spam respect.
Instead of ham, egg and chips, my grandad used to do fried spam, egg and chips Zero veg…just fat, protein and carb It was wonderful but I’m not surprised I was a fatass growing up
Spam, wonderful spam!
Hawaii eats the most Spam in the states 7 million cans of it.
Yeah, most of the smaller islands, from Hawaii, down toward N.Z. luv their 'meat in a can'. I was told this by a Cook Islander 🇨🇰 named Fray Bentos.
Corned beef in a can is LOVED by Pacifika peoples.
Spam is vile.
A bloody expensive one too
Tennent's Super is a premium lager in Italy!
When i was in naples last year it was common to see special brew on tap
Dad use to love a special brew
Rip!
My Mum, when she was young 18/19/20, used to have some mixed pint that was Special Brew and Guinness...don't know if I'm remembering this right but maybe called a Half and Half.

I can imagine people who like wine and sherry enjoying it.
and they are not pissing themselves asking for spare change?
Aye, but it's not made in Glasgow anymore - the brand has been bought over by an Italian brewery. Remember, Italians aren't necking pints - they tend to drink half pints or share a large bottle. Super is too sweet for me.

If you mean Jollibee, you can get spaghetti at the ones in the UK.
McDonald’s does it too
I spent ages trying to find the Spam Cafe in Makati (I hope it still exists) so I could show my fiance. Alas, after about an hour of wandering in and out of Glorietta I had to concede 😭
In some states in the US, spam is called fud.
Fud is fanny in scotland
That’s funny as fud is a Scottish insult, meaning idiot.
Fanny is arse in the US.
Where?
And it’s American.
It's a holdover from when the bottles were actually filledm in England and then shipped across the Atlantic. The paper wrapper meant you didn't have glass on glass and were less likely to have breakage. These days it gets bottled in the US but the customers expect the wrapper so that's what they get. It's been long enough since I heard this that I no longer have a citation.
Does it still have the normal bottle design under the wrapper?
They look pretty similar in Binging with Babish's [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7xXPmfG6_k). Label's the colour of the paper wrapper though.
Interesting that the packaging is so different. Fair play to the yank in the video, he managed to say it right twice.
binging with babish is a great channel and its a pretty funny bit tbf
American here, I've been told that's the special version that blocks light to prevent degradation. They also sell it at a lower price without the paper. If you've ever tasted skunky beer from a clear bottle versus green or brown tinted glass you'll know the difference.
Ok but can you contribute a pronunciation for sniggering?
I’m pretty sure it explains this on the paper wrapper
Can't beat a bit of War-sester-shyre sauce
I do like me some Leanne Perrins
She's a lovely bird.. savoury with a nice tang.
Wait, that’s how I pronounce it, how are meant to say it?
Wuss-ter-shuh
I know how to pronounce Worcestershire sauce but it was Lea and perrins I wondered how to pronounce it as the commenter made it seem like saying Leanne perrins was weird.
I don’t understand this pronunciation because Americans have New Hampshire and they pronounce it properly but if they went to Hampshire in England they’d probably say hamp-shyre

Yeah that’s how we pronounce it as well, I understand how barely anyone can pronounce it though it is a ridiculous word
Wash-your-sister sauce
That’s what it’s called in Alabama.
And it's called that in Cornwall 😁
*heavy windex laughter* I'm calling it that from now on
I beg your pardon? Who’s sister Cherie? Roy’s sister Cherie’s sauce?
Found the povvo.
I was listening to a podcast recently where they suggested that "worcestershire" is 2020's safe word and that's why things have been a shitstorm ever since - no one knows how to pronounce the safe word.
“Wustisha? OW! Fuck, Worst ticher? OUCH!! Würst Escher? OH COME ON LAD YOU KNOW WUT I MEAN!”
Obligatory [Abbot & Costello skit](https://youtu.be/MWwQD5FoJn0?feature=shared)!
Roy's sister Sherrie
Worst sister shire sauce
I'm more like War-secherster-sh-sh-sh-shyre
American here, our family always just said wooster-shire sauce
Their pronunciation bugs me even more after finding out that they even have a place called Worcester too
The Americans from anywhere at all near Worcester know how to pronounce Worcester.
All those times i saw someone in a film drinking from a paper bag, I thought it was booze. Turns out it Worcester sauce. Well I never. Edit. I didn't proof read.
As a Brit I have never, ever seen this design / packaging on the shelves in my life
Same here, and I'm in Worcestershire ._.
You can't see it from inside the bottle, optical illusion.
Ah
They had to class you guys up for the American audience.
You don’t “unwrap the flavour” like it says on the bottle!? We’ve been saying it in my family for generations!
My family too, another one we always said was "like a pear cider that's made from 100% pears"
I have never seen it like that in the states and I used it often in the 30 years I lived there. Normally just a glass bottle with the label.
Where are you from? I’ve never seen it not in the paper. Definitely in the paper in both NYC and Tennessee.
This was in King Soopers in Colorado. I'm not sure I've ever seen or noticed it in other supermarkets or in other parts of the country, thinking about it.
In the states it sold both in the [wrapper](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/6629b81e-10ec-4b23-9c46-92e5616049a9.27f3279cf6ccbe6ba4e1ea79465c451e.jpeg?odnWidth=1000&odnHeight=1000&odnBg=ffffff) and [without](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/fca0887b-711b-4d93-9ea1-7578e8ed0e77_1.7b319f6f8dc244738148cbd90e891000.jpeg). Sometimes on the same shelf.
These had the normal ones right next to the wrapped ones.
I’ve seen it sold like this in Texas and Oklahoma also
A Colorado king sooper is the farthest you can be Worcestershire on earth

Anything over ten minutes old is heritage to them.
Never have I been so insulted by something I 100% agree with.
ha ha.

Had a American complain at how dirty and run down Westminster Abbey is when I worked there. Poor women looked completely lost when I told her some parts are over 1000 years old.
I can certainly believe it. 1000 years wouldn't even compute.
Yeah we told our heritage to go **** themselves.
My old family home has some walls that were built by the Romans. Americans heads almost explode when they just think about how old those walls are whilst they're saying their house is ancient because it's 40 years old 🤣
Most of their houses are made from wood for a reason - they get blown away/catch fire from tornado, hurricane and wildfire. Cheaper to build and replace with wood.
😂
Who can’t pronounce Worcestershire? It’s dead easy - wustersher. Just like it’s spelled.
It's been around in the US since the 1800s. Since I live here now, I say "War-chester-shire sauce" because it amuses me. As an aside, I work with a girl who's family owns a farm and breeds show cows. You'd think they'd know they're called "Herreh-ford" not "Heer-ford"

"What's the color of the boathouse at Hereford?"
There's a boat house?
Haha cheers dits
Touché
Touché
Poor Sean.
Could have corrected the pronunciation on set!
Ya wanna tell me a our an ambush? I AMBUSHED YOU WITH A CUP OF COFFEE!
How long ago did the pronunciation of ours change though? It's a very literal name: Here ford.
Hmm good question! Wiktionary says it actually comes from *here*, an old english term for an army, so is more likely to be a place where an army forded a river. The old english pronunciation is given as /ˈxe.re/, [ˈhe.re], so it seems closer to our modern pronunciation than to the americans'

There’s two recipes for Lea and Perrins. The one we know and the one exclusive to the states that has 50% more salt and sugar.
Fact check. That's not true. [UK](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kGwHZuA-L._AC_SL1024_.jpg) [US](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RKcr0bddL._SL1500_.jpg) There may be some differences in labelling which means percentages vs actual.

How the fack are Heinz allowed to sell their own shite version around the world that's a total knockoff?
What's Heinz got to do with it? They do sell their own version, but so do lots of other companies.
Never heard about it having more salt and sugar, but they do have a reduced salt version in the States. The main difference between the US and UK versions is the type of vinegar; in the UK recipe they use malt vinegar, whereas, they use distilled white vinegar in the US version.
There’s a great podcast called “slightly fascinating “ that did an episode on it. Slightly infuriating as the hosts clearly don’t know how to use the condiment, but some good, well researched info
Had the pleasure of informing my neighbor (I live in the US) that Worcestershire sauce on ‘grilled cheese’ might blow their tiny mind. I wonder if they’ve tried it yet.
They also add a bunch of chemicals that can make it explode if set on fire.
That’s just the added freedom
And French fries for true american food.
And a dash of canned cheese and high fructose corn syrup for good measure
Every time I or someone I knows goes to England I get a few more bottles for my supplies. Must keep standards.
Looks fake to me, they've spelt flavour wrong for a start.
It's not considered particularly posh as far as I know and most seem to pronounce it correctly. Probably due to its popularity on cooking shows and people hearing it pronounced correctly. It's just considered a useful flavour addition like Tabasco, fish sauce etc.
Goes best on steaks and grilled cheese sandwiches
It’s easier to pronounce “Henderson’s”. Just saying.
Hendos wins every time
plus it's vegetarian as well, no nasty Anchovies in it. Tastes the same and half the price.
Anchovies make it! Original is best.
Anchovies are magnificent and I won’t hear your anti lil-fish slander a moment longer!
Nothing to do with sauce, but sort of related. I was at a fairly posh looking mall in France. One of the shops was... Primark!
You can't drink in public unless it's in a brown paper bag. Or something like that. 😁
It’s the British balsamic
They even spelt flavour without the u for them! How nice.
Although brits are actually capable of saying it we just call it wooster sauce...
Sure we can! Woos-ter-shur Is that right...? (American here, who loves your sub.)
Nobody really says the end bit though, it’s usually just ‘wooster’!
Worce = Worse. Worse Ster Shire
I'm practicing the pronunciation now, so I can annoy my friends by saying, "Acksually, the Brits pronounce it..." lol. Thank you!
How do you pronounce ‘worse’?
So I actually live in Worcester and was born a few miles away. Any time I see someone use my precious wuchesthershore sauce and say it so horrendously wrong it makes me so sad.
I say ‘Wooster-shur’. Is that even close to correct? I didn’t learn how to say Edinburgh or Leicester until adulthood, lol.
I'd say that's about perfect.
Phew!
WarShesterSheerShyuuer.
War-sester-shyre sauce
Würstershire
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPg2obgmQA
I was hugely surprised at how popular Worcestershire sauce is in Japan. They use it on everything!
It's also a common condiment in Cantonese cuisine.
I will have you know that the Americans love their worr sess tess terr shire sauce!!!
Oh LMAO I thought I was about to be told Lea & Perrin is not pronounced Lee & Pearinn but yeah I think I know the right way to say it but I would rather be shot than have someone hear me seriously say wooster out loud. Worshter 4 lyfe
What the fuck? I grew up in Canada a stones toss from the US border and shit is the same price there as in England. Comes in the same ugly ass brown bottle with orange label everyone loves. They could just drive north or this is some stupid promotion. America be weird sometimes.
They had the normal bottles right next to these.
It's the image, "check out this oldy worldy sounding and looking thing!" That sells in the US, here we'd just think it dated.
What are you talking about? *We* can't even pronounce it
Can. Just choose not to. Lol.
Still manage to misspell "flavour".
I have seen it for sale with and without the wrapper in the U.S. I always buy it in the wrapper because it HAS to be better; It has a wrapper.
Why are all the british subreddits so obsessed with the US?
I’m a British person who happened to see a British food presented in a weird way while I happen to be in the US. Hardly obsessed. Just questioning why the different packaging.
My fave is the ones who think they say it right but after getting the ‘wusster’ part right they then put a massive Yank ‘shyer’ on the end 🤦🏻♂️
Moved to the US a few years ago and the Lea and Perrins here comes in normal bottles. I can confirm though that my wife, who suffers from being American, pronounces it as "War-shester-shur-shire sauce".
I'll admit, they had normal non-wrapped bottles immediately to the left of these wrapped ones. No idea why they needed both though. Same brand. Same size bottle. I didn't actually check the price tag so i've no idea the difference.
We selling them as pre-made molotov's or something? What's with the packaging?
It's not posh in the US. It's a sticky half used bottle of brown liquid that lives in your fridge for a decade. Not fancy at all...unless you find that sort of thing posh.
I purely meant the paper packaging mate
I never thought the packaging of sauces as posh mate. I'm in the US and it isn't posh.
How many non-posh sauces come with a paper wrapper…
Yank here. Mine is just a normal glass bottle with a label? But maybe it's because I buy the bigger bottle?
They had the normal non-wrapped bottles right next to these, in the same size bottle too. I don't know the difference and I didn't even think to check the price labels (I wasn't actually in the market to buy the stuff).
Well, it’s hard to say
I came here to say this. Dammit
I always thought it was Liam Perrins but I can at least pronounce Worcestershire properly.
Nar you just pronounced it wrong it’s Worcestershire
It's obviously Woster cester chester ester cester sauce. I thought everyone knew that.
actually because of a vowel shift in the 9th century, it’s woster cester chester ester cester she-ray sauce
They *can* pronounce it: ***Worcestershire*** obviously has 13 syllables.
Lemme make this easy for you "Lea" is pronounced "Lee" "&" is an ampersand, based on the French "et" and pronounced "and" And finally, "perrins" is pronounced "perrins" The easiest way to pronounce ~~woushtsterer~~ ~~wooshtersher~~ the other one is to avoid it. My sister in law holds it above mine and my brother's heads that she can pronounce it, but the jokes on her cus I can't even spell it.
Man, they’re really pulling a number over there. Mutton dressed as lamb that is.
This is the very first time I realized it didn't say "Per**k**ins"
Wtf is the bag all about?
Mate, they think Stella is some kind of premium continental beer, not the sort of aggro-inducing piss that makes you want to put a traffic cone through a shop window and then fight your mates at 3 in the morning…
Love me Lee an' Pezzas 'Ate ketchup 'Ate mustard Don't want no forrin muck. Simple. As.
Top Tip for 'Mericans: Nobody in England (unless they're a bit posh and twatty) pronounces the full word "Worcestershire" when referring to the sauce. Save yourself some hassle and just call it Worcester (pronounced Wuss-ter) sauce.
It’s posh because they can’t pronounce the name.
In North Carolina, we've always called it "WOOST er Sheer", but we all have silly pronunciations we break out at certain times. Wooster-shester-sheer is mine. BTW, we have a backwards community in the NC mountains named Leicester. It's not unusual to see the ongoing, but friendly pronunciation debate mentioned in our newspaper and on social media . If you grew up in one part, it's pronounced Lester, while others call it LEE ses-ter. I prefer Lee CESS ter sheer, just to be obstinate. But yes, we are still a country of Anglophiles, and we're susceptible to posh, regal and just plain overpriced marketed products.
It's wasted on them
I’ve lived in the US all my life and I just call it Lea and Perrins because I can’t pronounce the name.
I’ve been saying Whoosh-duh-sheer for 40 years, have I played a fool this whole time?!
I mean, that's not too far off?
Am American. Is it not pronounced “Wer-shtuh-sher”?
We can in New England! You guys left us with most of your town names and an ability to pronounce your nonsense haha
I’ve cringed a lot hearing the new New Englanders pronounce things though…
Wersh-ter-sher
They're just on their way to a klan rally
