Cwenelle?

[Spermysextowel]

I’ve just seen a Waitrose advert for a blood-orange & chocolate cwenelle. AIBU to be deeply offended?

I love a blood orange. They cheer winter up.

Fuk'nelle
Note to self: don't google random words on MN

I’m an addict. The season is so short I go overboard daily.

It should be kernelle, not cwenelle. Don’t get me started on choritho or choritso. Cwenelle is the last straw. And I doubt there’s been much spoon-action happening in this thing.

A wheelie is basically a tablespoon of something that is turned in two spoons to make a shape that is pointy at the ends and fat in the middle, like the topping of this although it looks like they've used teaspoons

Anyone else hate autocorrect? It doesn't recognise plenty of real words like quenelle, and what relation does wheelie have with quenelle anywaty?

Haha that really tickled me.

K'nelle, I just can't get worked up about that.

Thanks OP I saw this in the Waitrose Xmas catalogue and meant to order and had forgotten to

They look nice though I could eat that now

I have always pronounced it as cwenelle
How do you pronounce it?

Kenelle, because 'qu' is pronounced as 'k' in French.

This, but I prefer fkn-Elle! Much funnier.

Perhaps focus on more important things.

Ooh, learn something new everyday - never knew I was pronouncing it wrong. But while we’re on Waitrose, my bugbear is the weird way the automated voice on the self serve till says ‘q-pon’ not ‘koo-pon’… but I’m probably just being pedantic!

i still doubt that there has been a team of operatives armed with teeny spoons, k’nelling their socks off.

Perhaps focus on more important things.

Most people have room in their brains for quite a few things, from the serious to the trivial. Who wants to focus on important things all the time?!

Too much Christmas spirit 😂?

I didn't say "important" things, I said "more important things". I have no idea what the OP's problem is, and they're not enlightening us, so 🤷

another one wondering if this was some kind of 'he's Welsh and I'm French, is this baby name OK?' query.

A quenelle is a small ‘dumpling’ made with choux paste and a protein , usually fish, poached and served with a sauce. ( not very difficult once you get the hang of it, and delicious). The Masterchef ‘quenelle’ is a reference to the shape and the way of forming the dumpling, with two desert spoons.

I have no idea what Waitrose are getting at with this pudding, but that is so often the case these days.

BBC explanation.

My brain is too broken to understand what is happening. Or why. Or in what order.

(Maybe I need to dip into my q-pon balance to buy a slice of blood orange and white choc fknelle to restore order)

I'm with moomin.

i Just think that if Waitrose ads say cwenelle instead of K’nelle or kerNelle then all hope is lost.
