Are you a die-hard foodie? Think again, as you've been pronouncing these food names WRONG this whole time

Are you a foodie whose existence is defined by food? Are you someone who is into munching almost the entire day? Well, this isn’t any teleshopping advertisement; this is just to figure out how much do you genuinely love food. This beautiful planet is multicultural and is home to different varieties and kinds of people, tradition and food; yes the most important of them all is food. Sometimes, it is just a variation of the kind of food served in your homeland but with a twist of their own. As one crosses border and continents, the language changes as well. Every food item has its own catchy pronunciation which is a major tongue twister in itself.

Thanks to all the travel and the ease of social media, the World is becoming closer with every passing day. Accessibility and knowledge of different cultures has become all the more easier. In India itself we have multinational cuisine and everyone seems to be loving it. However, in spite of loving that dish to bits most of the times, we are pronouncing these dishes wrong. Yes, you read me right. You must be a huge Italian or Thai food fan, but maybe you’re calling out your favourite dish’s name incorrectly. Listed below are the most famous dishes that you have been pronouncing wrong this whole time.

Bruschetta

This Italian darling is usually pronounced as ‘broo-sheh-tuh’, however, the correct pronunciation is, “Broo-SKET-tuh”

Sriracha

This yummy sauce which lifts the flavour of the food is majorly called out wrong as “Sree-rah-cha”, call it “SEE-rah-cha”

Hummus

Aren't we all big fans of this yummy Levantine dip and can eat it with almost anything? Well then the next time you order it, please call it “Hoom-us” and not “Hum-iss”

Jalapeno

The next time you are placing a Subway order make sure your call out for this lip smacking ingredient correctly as “Hah-lah-pen-nyoh” and not as the spelling says “Ja-la-peh-noh”

Tortillas

It's a crime to eat Mexican food if you cannot get this one right. Do not for heaven’s sake call it “Tor-tee-laas”. The correct way to say it is, “Tohr-tee-yahs”

Quinoa

This extremely famous salad topping is unfortunately pronounced as and how one likes it. However, the correct pronunciation of it is, “Kee-noah”

Gnocchi

If you love Italian food then I’m sure you must be loving this cute little delicious potato dumplings called, “Nyoh-kee”.

Gyro

This mouth watering dish on a pita bread is called as “Yee-Roh” and not “Jy-Ro”

Quesadilla

I’m just feeling super hungry thinking about this wonderful Mexican dish and hence I’ll place an order for a “Kay-Sa-Dee-Ah”

The hunger pangs are kickin’ in big time. If you know of any other food items which are pronounced incorrectly then please leave them in the comments below.
