Quin-o-a or Keenwah?

[TooTicky]

Which do you say? I say quin-o-a because that's how I first read it, and I feel slightly pretentious saying keenwah, but I think I'm probably wrong

It's keenwah but it doesn't make sense to me either.

This says either is correct, I say quin-o-a, keenwah sounds too poncey.

keenwah - the box tells you how to pronounce it.

keenwah

If it helps, "qui" is pronounced "key" in a lot of languages (spanish and french, anyway) and this pronounciation is probably related to that?

hi this is nothing to do with anything you're talking about but was just reading some chats and wondered if someone could tell me what dd ds etc means?

Keenwah still sounds pretentious to me.
Ds = dear/darling son, dd = dear/darling daughter

thanks tooticky!

I thought they were two different things

Yes it is definitely

keen-wah

it does say so on the box

I know what you mean, you feel a bit of a twat saying it at first. It's an acquired taste

psst it's franny undercover (must change out of my disguise before posting yet again)

I say keen-wah. At first I felt a bit of a pretentious arse because I'd also read it as kwin-noah and had been pronouncing it that way for a while. But I forced myself and now it trips off the tongue naturally. (Either that or I have become a pretentious arse. You decide. )

Can't you go back to being QueenQuinoa?

Quinoa salad? Recipe please?

NQC, I never was QueenQuinoa, except in your twisted little imagination

Mind you I like to imagine you as Sophie Dahl, so who am I to talk

Yes, well, quite.

This is the webpage of the minor celebrity I really am.

And yes please quinoa salad recipe.
