We were watching one of those dreadful cooking shows the other day and a mention was made of Worcestershire sauce.

Now several languages have variations on how 'c' followed by a vowel is pronounced. In Italian 'ci' is pronounce as though it was followed by a 'h' in English - perhaps like the 'ch' in cheese. The word 'cheese' in Italian would be read as though the 'ch' was a 'k'.

The Italian cook on show pronounced it 'Wor-chester-shire sauce' (obviously wrong).

How do you pronounce it?
