I love food - eating it, making it, thinking about it, reading about it. So I like to think I at least know how to pronounce it. But to my dismay, I came across this list of the top 10 mispronounced words in the foodie world. I have to admit, I have been saying broo-SHEH-tah and not broo-SKEH-tah.


PLUS I only knew what 5 of the 10 actually meant - here are the 5 I didn't know, but now do:

• Gyro: A Greek dish, consisting of meat, tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce, and is served with pita bread
• Huitlacoche: Also known as Mexcian Truffle, it is a fungus eaten usually as a filling in quesadillas and other tortilla-based foods
• Poilly-Fuisse: A dry white wine made from Chardonnay
• Paczki: Polish pastry, a deep-fried piece of dough shaped into a flattened sphere and filled with confiture or other sweet filling
• Pho: A Vietnamese beef and noodle soup, including noodles made from rice and is often served with basil, lime, bean sprouts and peppers that are added to the soup by the consumer

So now we know.
