Do you pronounced it "wooster-shire"? If not, how is it properly pronounced, please?

 

Also, in a couple of novels I've read recently set in Yorkshire, there's repeated mention of "brown sauce," mostly on bacon sandwiches. Please enlighten me as to what "brown sauce" is.

 


Most people in the UK just say Wooster Sauce. If we do use the 'shire' part, it is pronounced 'shir' and unstressed. Not the 'shyer' I hear from many Americans.

There is a reasonably good article on brown sauce on Wikipedia here.  I can buy HP sauce here in China. I have a bottle in the fridge, but it easily lasts me a year. Not something I use often.
