Somehow I found this difficult to read. Maybe it was the onslaught of spelled-out-syl-la-bles, maybe it was the fact that I read it while drinking a coffee on a café terrace at freezing point temperatures, with only a thin running jacket on.
Anyway, I learned about ah-sigh-EE and the emphasis on mous-sah-KAH.
Should they try to sound French and say "krwah-SAN?"
Funny that the recommendation settled on the incorrect kwah-SAHWN, recognizing that that French 'r' is impossible to pronounce in spoken English, and that trying it might worsen things.
This put me in French mood. I kicked off a Spotify radio with Ne me quitte pas from Jacques Brel for my run back home. Une bonne journée à tous!
Wow, I have failed miserably!

Moussaka was the biggest surprise to me with the accent on the end. Luckily I’ve never tried to order it!
Yes, that was surprising! Never ordered it either, but tried to make a vegan version once. Couldn't spot much difference from a lasagna 😏
Excellent lesson on pronunciation of famous foods.
I always get sherbet wrong!
Haha yeah some of them are all too familiar. I’ve been guilty of the açaí mispronunciation when it first got famous
