So, what are you all eating today?

The Easter ham is coming to an end and will be slow cooking all day in northern beans, celery, onions, and carrots.

At the moment, black coffee and croissants.

I still have lots of chocolate from a recent birthday as well as Easter presents from my students. :smiley:

Had grapefruit followed by Gentleman’s Relish on toast for breakfast, Moussaka for lunch and I haven’t decided what to have for dinner yet …

Bison, pepper salsa, bruschetta

How did you fit the bison on the bruschetta? Or was it just a hand bison?

For dessert, we are having trefoils/vanilla breyer’s ice cream sandwiches.
I bought the trefoils at work this week and hid them from my wife. I just got back from buying the ice cream.

A piece of Trader Joe’s veg sushi and some hummus and pita chips.

:tomato: :slight_smile:

I feel rather boring now. :laughing: I just had a tuna sandwich like normal. :sleep:

I just finished a small handfull of Chocolate Bullets… pieces of Licorice about 1" long x 3/16" diameter..coated in dark Chocolate.
I remember in the 1950’s ,you used to get 8 of them for a Penny…lovingly counted out by the bloke behind the counter..one by one !

Kitchen gantry crane, doesn’t every kitchen have one?

So bruschetta is just a fancy name for garlic toast? And I’ve been missing out on using this great snob word all these years? Oh là là, quel dommage !

If it’s any comfort to you, most of 'em pronounce it “bruh SHED uh”.

Jeppers! I had no idea it was a snob word! Silly me I thought it was Italian. :really:

I found out in Italy that the Italians pronounce it “bruh SKET uh”. I’ve heard a total of one English-speaker (Tim Minchin) pronounce it correctly.

I pronounce it correctly. It drives me nuts that people don’t. It’s like the word ‘lingerie’. I cannot for the life of me see why people almost universally pronounce it as ‘lon-zher-ray’. Wha??? :confused: :boggle:

The first time we had bruschetta was in Italy I’ve always pronounced it the way I was told. What drives me crazy is folks around here think bruschetta comes in a jar.

Because, and you know this, people who have had more exposure to French and/or German than Italian are not aware that ch makes a hard sound in the latter. I only know (and I have to stop and think about it at that) because I took a voice class once, and had to learn Vittoria Mio Core (which I don’t recommend to anyone.)

How do you pronounce it Ben? I’m only asking because, after watching Downton Abbey, I am aware that the fellow who brushes dust off the rich guy’s jacket is–in England–the VAL-ett, whereas over here we’re more apt to French-i-fry it and say val-AY.

So, as for ladies undies…lon-zher-ee, as in the French, or something more anglified? Of course the RAY has no place.

But to try to make a sweeping conciliatory observation, unless we are MTGuru, we are unlikely to know the pronunciation rules of every language and tend, therefore, to repeat what we hear.

repeat what we hear.
