How do you pronounce 'broccoli'?

[SatinHeart]

I (and pretty much everyone I've met) say 'broccol-ee'

PILs say 'broccol-eye'. I think my grandaprents used to as well.

Who is actually right? Is it an age thing?

I only ever heard John Cleese say 'broccoleye' in aMonty Python sketch about funerals...!

I say broccol-ee.
Annoyingly my husband says brock-ly and it infuriates me 😀

Your husband is wrong. Such a useful sentence in so many contexts.

brock-oh-lee

But broccoli is in the first group, surely

Is there a regional dialect coming in to play here at all? I say broccol ee but when I say broccol eye it sounds sort of Midlands ish to me.

Brocco-lye seems to be a brum adjacent thing, I used to live in an area close to it where people said that

I'm southern and say brocco-lee

My midlands friend says brocoleye

-Lee (nw)

Dictionary says it ends eith an 'ee' sound. And it does anyway! Never come across another pronunciation.

*with

Must be West Midlands only if so - definitely broccol-ee in the East Mids

Broke-lee for Australian English then. I’ve never heard that pronunciation before. But also can’t think when I’ve spoken to an Australian about broccoli.

I'm West Midlands and it's definitely with an 'ee', 'eye' is not a thing.

-ee

In south London English Brockley ( Like the place )

I say broccol-ee and like @Plump82 have a husband who says brockly. I swear one day I will leave him over this.

Brocoll-ee

But my DC say brockley 😄

ugh!

It’s clearly unreasonable behaviour.

I say Brok-lee. Never heard it said as Broke-lee in Australia ever.

My Aussie family call it Broco-lye
NEVER heard broke-lee and I lived there for 9 yrs

Agreed!
