WHAT’S THIS IS HERE?
Legend has it that when Lea & Perrins came up with the recipe for their famous sauce, they had no name for it.
Anxious to have people try it out, they invited an old timer who had to speak between the gaps in his teeth.
Taking a bottle of the sauce, he squints his eyes and remarks,
“WOSH DISH ISH HERE SHAUCE?”
So there.
The final word: It’s pronounced WOOSTERSHEER or WOOSTERSHAYR.
