Thanks, Sue. Good to see you pop in now and again.

FYI, I still miss Neil's presence around here. He was a singularly admirable person.

We can add Taliaferro to the list. Pronunciation is "tolliver". Well known name in Virginia/Carolinas.

And I'll echo Robin on Beauchamp/Beecham.

I once met a young man from England who pronounced his name "Sin-gen". Spelled it St. John.

I learned about that last one from a Python skit that included (IIRC) a letter from a "Norman St. John Polevaulter".

Likely of the Devonshire Polevaulters. They had that tendency to pretentious antiquity in naming.

Going back to the original subject - my Dad used to call it Woppity Sauce.

Worcestershire sauce was always on the table at home when I grew up. My dad loved it. It was called "worcester sauce" (pron "wooster" or "wʊstə") or "hot sauce". I have a bottle of it somewhere in the cupboard and occasionally get it out for grilled lamb or beef, or sausages. I believe it was a great favourite in Australian country kitchens pre-refrigeration, because it didn't go off.

And a postscript for Peter May - I believe my ancestors were roundheads.

Going back over 400 years, one has a tremendous number of ancesters

The civil war split families so it's likely we had ancesters on both sides and many more who kept their heads down and suffered during the power struggle.

My grandmother, whose maiden name was Prendrill, told me about the oak tree incident and claimed that another branch of the Penderill family received an annual pension from the Crown to this day. That payment is still being made was corroborated by the guides at Boscobel House.

And then there is Raymond Luxury Yacht

(pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove)

I use "Woostersheer" sauce in Bloody Marys, and when I am making my own Caesar Salad dressing.

Maybe in some other salad dressing recipes...

It seems like there must be other things I do with it but they don't come to mind.

It's a delightful seasoning for meatloaf; I add it, lemon juice and parmesan cheese together. Sounds odd, but the result is delish.

I use it meatloaf as well. Most of ours goes into that and Bloody Marys.
