And that's why "Worcester Sauce" is the second most mispronounced culinary term in Germany (after "Stracciatella") *

Also doesn’t help that it’s actual name is “Worcestershire sauce” which is even more difficult to say.

Now I must know: how do Germans pronounce stracciatella?

Some switch around the "s" and "sh" sounds, so it is pronounced roughly like "shtratsiatella". "st" at the beginning of a word is pronounced as "sht" in German.
