Here's something interesting ....... the top ten mispronounced words by foodies. ( I am posting the way they say they should be pronounced)

1. PHO (fuh)
2. Quesadilla (key-suh-dee-uh )
3. Gyro (yee-row OR zheer-oh
4. Quinoa (keen-wah)
5. Sriracha (sir-rotch-ah)
6. Beignet (ben-yay)
7. Chipoltle (chi-poht-ley)
8. Espresso ( e spres-oh)
9. Gnocchi (nyawk kee)
10. Bruschetta (broo-sket-tah)

I bet the servers and waiters crack up at the way peeps pronounce some of these.

I just learned about quinoa's pronunciation while at Whole Foods... I WAS saying quinn O ah The actual pronunciation is prettier I think...I was saying the others right except for bruschetta..shocking cuz I actually like to make it...lol But gyro has always been a thorn in my side...
how bout that tzatziki stuff??? That's a good one. Found out I didn't maim that one quite too badly lol
