How do you pronounce breakfast?

It's pronounced 'brek-fast' isn't it?
Hearing people pronounce it 'break fast' really sets my teeth on edge.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Brek fust here

Some people think you’re meant to pronounce words as they are spelt, eg choc-o-late. That’s a mistake. I suppose it’s because, if you’re not quite confident, things look more official when you see them in print.

Break fst - midlands

Usually 'Do you want some
fud?'

My Grandma always called it break-fast. She also said rasp-berries.

God I miss her.

Break-fast here - also a Scot, but when I lived down South, I was often mocked for it 🙄

You're not talking to five year olds. No one in here needs the origin of the word "breakfast" explained to them, it's about as self explanatory as it gets!

I’ve never in my life heard anyone pronounce it “break-fast”... where are you finding these people?!

@Van34
We pronounce it the same and are from east London.

I pronounce it brek-fst - with the "brek" as in "deck".

I've heard numerous people in Scotland pronounce the "break" part as in "brake" - including relatives - but that's the only place I've heard that variation.

Its ready brek not ready break

I thought only hobbits said break-fast!

My Yorkshire relations used to say Break-fast. It always annoyed me as its clearly Brek-fst. I'm from the South West

I met someone who did this the other day. They were a minor government official and I do think they were enjoyin the distance saying it 'properly',.gave them. I just pretened not to notice. Regional variations apart, I think some people just enjoy setting themselves above others, even when it makes them appear ridiculous.
