Granted, the "U" in "Ursa" as a Latin word should be pronounced like "oo" rather than like "yoo", but since in English, "U" is usually pronounced like the latter, it doesn't surprise me that it's apparently pronounced this way as an English word.

Like this?

And definitely short U in ursa. Not yoor-SA; UR-sa.
oddtail:
Thanks for clearing this up for me =) I'd assumed it was pronounced the way most English words starting with "u" are. I like to think my English is decent, but "Ursa" is not exactly a word that comes up in random spoken conversation, so I'd never heard it spoken out loud ;)
Tova:
I have to admit that, for whatever it's worth, that pun took me a good couple of minutes to figure out. So it didn't work well written down for me.

And then lampshade it in the title (I assume you refer to "Shah Guido G") for the irony-impaired.

You should look traditional Nordic casseroles. You know fermented potato, sweet potato, swede, liver with raisins, carrot - these are all casseroles that are made in pureed form. How ever, the most dog food like from the types I know would be "mached potato and minced meat". That's actually pretty good, if the meat is properly seasoned. Also, herring casserole (and anchovy) casserole has a suspicious to say at least consistency, but not really dog food like.
Also, haven't ever tought of that broccoli and cheese thing a casserole. Goes by different name here.

Why in heavens would you puree stuff to put in casseroles? Part of their simplicity lies in tossing in what's available, and some of the charm comes from texture.
Broccoli cheese casserole contains broccoli, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, rice and seasoning.
