Say What

[Juniper]

Basil (bay-zill): Yeah, unless it's someone's name, then it's bah-zil.

Bruschetta (broo-SKEH-tah): No, broo-shetta.

Buffet (boo-fay): No, buff-ay.

Coq au vin (co-ooh-vin): I was taught to say "cocoa-van." Heh.

Gnocchi (NYOH-kee): Our linguistics prof said it was "nyock-ee" LOL

Guacamole (wah-cah-moe-lay): I've always said "gwock-ah-mol-ee"

Habanero (Hah-bahn-air-oh): Actually the n has a ~ over it, I believe, which makes it hah-bahn-yer-oh

Mole (MOH-lay): Yes, causing my daughter to FREAK when I took her to the mexican restaurant and she thought they were actually serving sauce made from blind rodents. Ewwww!
