You pronounce it Worcestershire. (duh!)

Actually, 2d2k, I do have an old squirrel stew recipe:

Ingredients
6 squirrels
1 hen or large chicken
1/2 lb. sliced bacon
3 - 2 lb. cans tomatoes
2 - 2 lb. cans whole kernel corn
1 bunch celery
1 bunch carrots
1 lb. onion
1 lb. okra
2 bay leaves
6 large Irish potatoes, diced
2 red peppers (hot)
1 stick butter
Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
Tabasco (to taste)
Catsup (to taste)

Boil squirrels and hen in enough water to have a good amount of stock left. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bones and skin. Strain stock. Cut meat into large pieces. Add to stock. Cook in a large kettle. Add all ingredients except corn. Cook slowly for several hours, stirring often. Heat corn in a double boiler and add to stew when nearly done. The kettle of stew may then be placed in a dish pan of hot water over low heat to keep hot until serving time. Any other vegetables or seasonings may be added to suit individual taste. Serves 15 to 20.

I don't think so. You should have seen it when she tried to make gravy. It got so bad that I was afraid to make any jokes about it. (Now thats bad!)

Now, every time I'm near Bass Pro Shops, I stop in and get some white gravy mix. (It's actually pretty dang good!)

Look again...

Ya' know, I just don't enjoy a burger as much if it doesn't have some bread crumbs mixed in. I just toss some bread in the food processor and zap it up and mix it in.

No matter what king of ground beef I use, no matter what's mixed in, even that Kobe Beef Burger I had a few weeks back - which was pretty darned good .......

cream Gravy
2 Tablespoons Oil
2 Tablespoons Butter
5 Tablespoons Flour
Salt & Pepper
1 1/2 Cups Milk
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
2 More Tablespoons Butter
Paprika
Red Pepper (optional)

Stir Oil And 2 Tablespoons Butter Over Medium High Heat. Add About 5 Tablespoons Flour. (this Varies, Depending On How Thick Or Thin You Prefer Gravy.) Stir And Reduce Heat. Continue To Stir At Least 3 Minutes. Add Salt And Pepper. Pour In Milk And Cream. Reduce Heat Again And Let Gravy Bubble 2-3 Minutes. Add Remaining 2 Tablespoons Butter And A Generous Amount Of Paprika. Stir Well And Remove From Heat.

If Gravy Is Too Thick, Add More Milk And Cream; If Too Thin, Put Flour In A Glass With A Small Amount Of Milk And Stir Vigorously Before Adding To Gravy And Cook, Stirring For 5 Minutes. (this Avoids Lumps.) Sprinkle Red Pepper Over Gravy If Desired.
Yield: 6 Servings
