How do you pronounce Bruschetta?

[Linnet]

Please can you help me settle a small, friendly, disagreement between dh and myself.

I say that it's pronounced Broosketta as that was what I was told when I worked in a restaurant.

Dh, who also worked in a restaurant was told it was pronounced Brooshetta.

So, which is it? It's over to you mumsnet

You are correct - and he is wrong wrong wrong

Im with Broo shetta

Another one for Brooshetta.

I have a friend who is fluent in Italian, I'll ask her & report back.

OOPs-aplogies . I was wrong

Ok, I'll admit when I'm wrong. According to wiki it is broosketta

You are right. It is Broosketta.

X posts!

I used to work with an italian who said 'broo-sketta', BUT I have a feeling it might be one of those words that could be either, depending on where you are from.

Broo-sketta. ch is pronounced k in Italian, it does the same job as qu in French

Thank you very much. I shall now go boast about the fact that I am right which of course I knew all along.

broo- shetta

brush-etta

which is betta

Oops read the thread title and thought in horror that this was a baby names thread...

IMO Broosketta is much nicer than Brooshetta for a little girl

DH once wrote to the BBC complaining that they kept saying "brooshetta" on Masterchef. Shortly after this they started pronouncing it correctly!

It know that the correct pronunciation is 'broosketta' but I always call it 'brooshetta'.

I say 'Cor-itz-oh' instead of 'choreetho' for chorizo, too.

Bloody English people, eh?

chi in Italian is pronounced key and che is pronounced keh

so, Bruchetta is pronounced Broosketta.

When I pronounce it properly the waiting staff look at me like I'm a dumb-arse!!
