Anyone fancy a ‘keeshay’?

Pronunciation of quiche - American recipe on FB! 😂
2nd time I’ve heard it!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist posting.

We say chor-eet-so but my friend says chor-it-so

Tchor-eetho

Chor is oh? (chorizo)
When my sister was young, we sent her into a chippy way down south to see what there was on the menu. She came back with a fairly accurate account of their offerings, but we were curious about their 'sliveries.' We wondered if they were a southern delicacy maybe? On closer inspection by us older members of the family it transpired they were saveloys! Now saveloys are always referred to as sliveries!

I love that 🥩🤣

Chore-eee-though

It’s always quickie in our house!

English people just don’t sound right when they try to pronounce Spanish words with the th sound. Except for Michael Portillo on account of him also actually being Spanish.

@ErrolTheDragon I agree. My friend always says paella like pie-ay-ya. I think it sounds daft as she wouldn't say Paree for Paris or Barthelona.

It's pah-ey-ah.

We just call Egg Pie.
Young DS loved pies, but refused quiche. So we had to rename quiche.

Yes I'm well aware of that. It sounds silly in a Scottish accent.

Worked on a deli counter years ago. Had a woman come in every week for a slice of Kweecheee!

But where does that leave us with tortillas and jalapeños ?

My Dad always called it quake !
Many years ago I was looking all over the supermarket for it for him .
My grown up children still call it that.

And wth is that weird zeddy/j sound they insert into parmesan?!

Lol my (highly educated, as she's keen on pointing out) has pit-za.

And for some reason , in shortens the o in "covvid"

Not as silly as pie-ay-ah

Actually crying about shite-ache mushrooms 😆

Given that CO stands for coronavirus, VI for virus, and D stands for disease, it really should be a short o though.

Are you saying pizza should be peet-za rather than pit-za?

When I did O level cookery we called it a savoury flan.

twas a flan until the mid 80s I think when delia smith did quiche Lorraine

Nah, it's a pizzer.

Surely you mean, See-ah-batta? 🤣

If you haven't learned Italian you won't know that the 'i' after the 'c' causes the 'c' to make a 'ch' sound.

The same sort of thing happens in English. We often have a soft 'c' if it is followed by 'e' or 'i', but our soft 'c' makes a 'ss' sound.
