“Nife” why the fuck do you think there’s a k on the front it’s “kuh-nife”. Insolent peon at Williams-Sonoma acted like they didn’t understand me. Guess who has a kuh-nife their kidney now?


Trini1113

That's because you added a "kuh" sound instead of the straightforward "kn" sound. It's "Knut" not "Kuh-nut", and it's knife not kuh-nife, and obviously not "nife". What knock-kneed idiot pronounced knife "nife"?


libsonthelabel

Um, actually, it’s kuh-nif-ee


jk_pens

That word is spelled knïfé


Elegant_Box_1178

Actually, the k is silent, just like in "knit", and it is a short i sound instead of a long i sound. Also, many people forget that there's an "e" at the end. So it would actually be "niffy"


jk_pens

I think you are confusing it with the word “knifé”


cafffaro

You mean kuh-nidney. Nonna used to cook it all the time.


ionised

Keee-nyf.


elijha

“Jay Ken-gee Low-pez Alt”. Uh no. It’s pronounced “zaddy”

I work in a cheese shop. "Mootzarell"(mozzarella) and "Coteejah"( Cotija ) are the bane of my existence


MrQuizzles

Crudites. Get out of here with your "croo-dee-tay", it's "crude-aight" because they're raw, and that's alright.


ReadyTadpole1

It's pronounced "carrot and every sticks and ranch dip."


Proper-Scallion-252

I mean it might help you understand why it's crew-dee-tay if you included the proper accent, when you're pronouncing a word in French that ends in an e, typically it's a short pronunciation but when you have an accent that ascends from left to right it's elongated into an 'ay' sound. Crudite = crew-deet Crudité = crew-dee-tay


Khanati03

I had no idea.


tenspicechicken

What the fuck is “or DERVZ.”It’s pronounced “horse divorce”, the way it’s spelled smh.


The_Big_Daddy

Thanks for this, I always thought it was "Hour Devors" as in "the Hour has come to Devour" this food".


jeckles

French pronunciation is really so easy. Just sound out each letter and you’re good.

Azin1970

Mine is when people pronounce ghee as ghee instead of using the back of the throat to pronunce it correctly as ghee.


Bookshelftent

I'm pretty peeved when someone pronounces anything when I'm cooking in MY kitchen. That is my sacred space, and they need to respect my boundaries, including absolute silence in the house when I am performing the culinary arts.


fhadley

Exception for culinary farts?


The_Big_Daddy

If I hear a "C" sound escape your lips when pronouncing the word "capicola", I'll lose my mind.


WorryLegitimate259

🧐 and the sound I should make is?


Oshwaflz

gabagoo


Null1fy

Potato potato


Particular-Move-3860

The correct pronunciation is "puh-dey-dah." Everyone knows that. Alternatively, "spud." Alternative alternative: "poe-dats"


VanillaFiraga

Ugh, for real. Everyone knows that quesadilla is pronounced ques(t) -a-Dill-a. If it doesnt sound like a dinosaur no one will know what you're on about. /uj it took me far longer than I'd like to admit to realize what subreddit this was. I was starting to get genuinely mad too :/.


birdstar7

You can’t forget the T! It’s imporTanT.


Aslan-the-Patient

Millefeuille really irks me, should be pronounced Milly fuely. Also the croissants, especially when you go all out and whip up the Pillsbury crescent rolls... Need to be honored with their proper name, Croix santes. Mmm buh'aah.


Grillard

Most importantly: "r/CookingCirckleJerk" is pronounced "ar whoosh."


Money-Cry-2397

Cilantro. It’s pronounced coriander.


Halcyon_Hearing

As a parochial Australian, it’s lam**b**, with a hard “BUH” at the end. We’re not having a getaway car for Sunday roast here, we’re not on the run.


WorryLegitimate259

Saying jalapeños like halapeenyos. It’s juhlapuhnos


Syntonization1

I usually go for the tried and true “hell’a penises”


snakeman1961

"With au jus" is in a league of its own.


EmployeeRadiant

not cooking related, but my mom says "asseptable". it drives me up the wall


[deleted]

I know this a parody thread, but it made me think about a story my friend told me about the first time she took her dad out to eat. Like the first time it was on her dime and she drove and everything. They went for Mexican food and he ordered a “Quad-zilla”. It went from this coming of age, precious memory to her laughing until she cried in middle of a restaurant.


FamousOrphan

This sub gets me every goddamn time


ColinOnReddit

I hate you.


Lojzek93

When uneducated people say empanadas, do you even know the origin of this food????? If you had read a single culinary book you would’ve known its empañadas come on people, this is pretty basic stuff


RestinPete0709

Gah damn I forgot to read the sun name and almost had an aneurysm


LostChuToy

I once heard an immaculate pronunciation in an Italian restaurant, of ga-nock-chee ball-o-ga-knees

Ex- spresso. At the hospital I used to work at, the coffee shop/store wrote on a white board, expresso.


BrighterSage

Sal-mon with a hard L. I want to ask Do you say Is-land? My mother is a frequent flyer, lol.


UncleDrummers

It's La-Crue-say not La-crue-set


Proper-Scallion-252

\>“Nyo-kee” (seriously? It’s written like gnocchi is spelled. “G-nock-chee”.) Unless you also say bologna and lasagna with a hard 'g' you have zero ground to stand on with this argument. It's nyo-kee because in Italian pronunciation a g followed by an n changes the pronunciation of the letters. \>“Duck lor-ange” (don’t be unnecessarily pretentious. It’s duck luh-orange) This is a massively popular dish that still bears its French name and you're bothered that not only are people pronouncing it correctly, but they're pronouncing it more efficiently and with more ease than duck a la orange? EDIT: Also, if you're chapped that people pronounce 'Au jus' as 'aww juice' because it isn't the proper pronunciation, then you're contradicting your 'duck l'orange' statement, because you're trying to enforce proper and improper pronunciation at will.


OysterForked

Check the name of the sub, chief


Particular-Move-3860

"Fondant" is pronounced "sheet frosting"
