LOL Nigella's pronunciation

[joggerjayne]

Her "own" version of Tiramisu, on tonight's programme.

She's just added the "maaarscoponay"

LOL

[bednobs]

that's how it's pronounced isn't it?

[joggerjayne]

Errrm ... yes, probably.

=0/

In some places.

Like Nigella's house.

[B00]

I'd pronounce it like that too.

How do you say it then Jayne?

[bednobs]

in the bednobs household too. Except we would never need to say it cause i hate the stuff

[joggerjayne]

Oh. Err, well ...

Just ... "mascarpone", really.

Mass ... kerr ... ponay

[NazNomad]

mas-car-POH-neh. Not 'maar' and emphasis on the 'poh'

[Postdog]

I just say bland white italian stuff...

[jackthehat]

Barth or Bath ?
Grarss or Grass ?

[joggerjayne]

JTH ...

Barth, and Grarss (obviously ... duuh!)

But not Maarrscarpone

[jackthehat]

Why not ?

Barth & Grarss & Marscapone

Bath & Grass & Mascapone

Seems sensible to me............

[joggerjayne]

Bath and grass are English words ... pronounced the English way.

Mascarpone is an Italian word.

Nigella is trying to turn it into a Home Counties word.

It's likw calling the capital of France ... "Paaarris"

[jackthehat]

As opposed to Paris, or Paree

[naomi24]

Jayne dear ... slight correction there ...... barth and grarss are English words. ;o)

[naomi24]

... but I'm a southern Jessie - or so I'm told. :o)

[joggerjayne]

Yes, quite.

We can't just "Home Countyise" foreign words.

[jackthehat]

Is the capital city of France 'Pariss' or 'Paree' ?

[joggerjayne]

Yes, Naomi ... that's my point.

Bath and grass are English words ...

... so they are pronounced "baarth" and "graarss"

Mascarpone, on the other hand, is an Italian word ...

... hence, pronounced ... "mass kerr ponay" ... like an Italian would.

[joggerjayne]

** tries to ignore trap laid by JTH **

[NazNomad]

not 'kerr' :-P
