It comes from the British town of Worcester, which gives the sauce its name. It was popularized by the company Lea &amp; Perrins. The key ingredients are barley malt vinegar, spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onions, and garlic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">None of which helps us with the pronunciation. I&#8217;ll give you a clue &#8211; &#8222;Worcestershire&#8220; has only 3 syllables (the short form &#8222;Worcester&#8220; has only 2.) OK, ready? &#8211; here we go. Repeat after me.
