I love fried eggs - sunny side up!

But my favorite way to cook and egg is...poached!

As a denizen of Worcester... well, okay, nearby anyway... I must object!

There's no such thing as Worchester sauce.

The sauce is named after Worcester, England, pronounced WUSS-ter. There is no "h" in the spelling and no "ch" sound in the pronunciation.

The sauce is also called Worcestershire sauce, WUSS-ter-sheer sauce.

Yes, it is one of the weirder words in the English language.

Edit: Kudos to ANN for correcting the article so quickly!

I think the correct pronunciation is always WUSS-ter even if spelled 'Worcestershire'. At least, that's what my British Mom, a teacher, always told us.

Back to the main topic: who knew Miyazaki was British?

As a fellow Brit, I should favour Worcestershire (pronounced as Tasukete says), but while I do quite like it, I gotta say tomato sauce works best for me. Tobasco second.

Honestly I'm surprised they don't seen that popular. Am I so out of touch?

No, it's the acclaimed Japanese animation directors who are wrong

I have always wondered if Japanese have a different soy sauce than the one I buy in the market.

The damn thing always tastes like salty water to me, some times I try to use the one that comes with sushi, but it's the same salt infused thing.

I don't get it.

Yes, since there a variety of soy sauces from light to dark. Even different countries have different methods and amount of ingredients for their soy sauce(Most Chinese Soy Sauce are made of soy Bean while Japanese soy sauce is made from both Soy Beans and Wheat).

If you want something sweet and thicker for your eggs, i recommend dark soy sauce which is thicker and sweeter than light soy sauce.

As for me, i prefer my eggs with a mixture of soy sauce, Tabasco, pepper, ketchup and cream cheese.

Even if it is supposed to be pronounced WUSS-ter, I am pronouncing more of how it is spelled: War-sester-SHY-UR.

I just use a bit of pepper. I'm not much for eggs in general though, and can't eat them runny at all (which is unfortunately standard for most eggs in Japan).

I greatly prefer the rolled omelette style found there. Very sweet, and tastes nice as a nigiri at the conveyor-belt sushi places.

Salt, pepper, and hot sauce - Tapatio, Cholula, and Sriracha are ideal, but Tabasco will do in a pinch. Never heard of Worcestershire sauce for an egg topping...

A bit hot for me
But some medium salsa with an omelette? Deliciously spicy
