I worked in a British pub, they claimed It was pronounced "Worshster" Sauce.

Two syllables.

In Germany, we call it "Wörtschestascheiasoße" and I think that's beautiful.

Pretty sure it's actually pronounced "woostershur", so none of it works when said out loud. It's a bad time to be an auditory reader 🤷
