Something Delicious

Dante · 02-10-2013, 05:09 PM

What a great idea! In honor of the Grammy's tonight, I bought some King Crab Legs to munch on. Now I want some kabobs, AND hummus, pita chips, and tabouleh to go with.

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

cinnamongrrl · 02-10-2013, 05:44 PM

Hell and damn...

The whole reason I came here was to tell y'all I'm sooo wanting a good recipe for Tabbouleh Salad...another good word to know

If anyone has recipes that are tried and true, I would love to know them. Otherwise I will have to try one of the online ones that seem to be an ode to parsley...

If that had been a test, I didn't do as bad as I thought I would. I missed 3..

Has anyone else tried Hail Merry's Miracle Tarts (esp. Persian Lime flavor)?
They are absolutely delicious as well as vegan, kosher, non-GMO and gluten- free for a treat that can be enjoyed by many sans guilt! When I absolutely NEED something indulgent, it is perfect for taking the edge off. As an aside, ALLEGEDLY, due to the high-quality natural ingredients, the calories will not store as fat (I have no idea if that claim is true or not, but it sure makes them go down sweeter!).

I haven't but I would love to try them, now that I know they exist!

A little pricy, but I would be very surprised if you were disappointed! As far as I am concerned, they are worth every red cent. Let me know what you think!

That reminds me of the first time my mother in law ordered focaccia bread. She asked for some focker-ya bread!

Ever since, I always say it that way in my head

Okay this reminds me this morning of a rather embarassing moment....

When I first moved to Maine (many years ago) I was with some friends at a truck stop one early morning after bar hoppin'. Up here they have poutine, which is fries with gravy. This is a Canadian dish and is to be pronounced (pu-teen). Somehow it did not come out of mouth sounding like that...

I think ya'll can figure out how the word was pronounced by a southerner lol...
Yep (pu-tain)... which we all know is not the same thing as fries and gravy.

OMG not just my friends but everyone in the truck stop busted out laughing... Good thing I was a bit lit and really didn't care too much!!

Yes it was the picture of what I was making, the turkey pot pie. Nothing special but it was delicious!

What are ya'll food plans for Valentine's day? My girl and I will be making some frosted cookies on Wednesday. We got vanilla frosting and will probably get some cute sprinkles to put atop.

Other than that the plan is to probably go out to dinner Friday or Saturday evening since I work Valentine's day and not sure where yet.

Dante · 02-11-2013, 10:18 PM

Ursy ...........that just cracked me up !
Today I came across .....bouillabaisse and vichyssoise

Spelling AND pronouncing. Both of these I have never had, but, after reading about the recipes, I want to try to make them. They sound delicious.

Don't forget about the cheese curds *winks* And don't worry about the pronounciation. French canadians say it a little different than most english so when an english person is trying to pronounce it with a french accent, that too can cause a bit of embarrassment, similar to your own.

ahk · 02-12-2013, 12:23 PM

my dad once asked for a quick -ie (quiche)

I died laughing-- as the waitress was like, excuse me sir!

Valentine treats-- I usually make cookies or cupcakes for my honey. This year, we are going to be extra busy with stuff so I made her chocolate chip (milk/semi) walnut cookies this past weekend.

We are baking with my kids the weekend after Valentines Day this year. Cupcakes and cookies. The important part is decorating, of course. Maybe I will get creative and do something else as well... Depends on how the weekend goes.

Good for you! I am sure your family will have a wonderful time baking with love. I exhausted my Valentine's day baking already.

Maybe it's time to do something else

Trying to catch up on all the posts that I missed and this one just cracked me the hell up! Omg, that was good. Interesting to see what foods wind up in our regions borrowed from other places. I've been preaching about how the Taco is going to take over America (I mean a real authentic Taco with a hand made fresh Tortillia) and I see it happening in the west but wow do I miss my east coast seafood. When I see "Maine" I have a very Pavlovian response and think of lobster and blueberries. Better plan to visit in August or September if I am smart.
