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?

🤣 brock leh (I'm from Manchester)

Interesting! PILs and my grandparents both from SE England (as am I) so I don't think there's any regional variation going on to expain it.

This is turning my stomach as I read on here a few weeks ago that broccoli and cauliflower have worms in them they you cannot see. Now I will never eat it again so cannot help with the pronunciation sorry to go off piste

Brocco-lee in East Anglia.

I say brock-lee, from the SE and most people I know say it that way too.

I say Brock o lee

Do they pronounce microwave "mee-crow-wa-vay"?

You know all food does ? Worms and bacteria you're welcome :)

Brock-lee

Broc-lee in public but actually, broc-o-lie in a pretend Dudley accent at home.

Which is fine if he wants to steam a leafy suburb of South London for dinner.

This. I'm in Scotland.

I used to know a posh old couple who said brocco-lye.

Not brokko then

Brock-oh!-lee

I'm from Surrey. We pronounce it Romanesco.

Brock-Lee 😂

So according to that YouTube video I say it like the Welsh - I’m from Se London 🤣

😆😆😆

The purple version was 'purple sprouting broccolow' to my Norfolk grandparents.

Brocco-lee. It’s from the Italian, so the I is like piano, not Primark. And came over after the great vowel shift so we kept the “ee” sound.

Someone should tell the people who made that video. 🤣

😂

I don’t think the Irish agree with the people on the island of Great Britain on the pronunciation of primark.

it’s a controversial topic. Very.
