Great article! However, I believe the recommended pronunciation for paella is a little off. It should not be pronounced “pah-yey-ya”, but “pah-ey-ya”. I remember this lesson from my professor from Spain.

I think you guys have the pronounciation of feuille. Unless you meant to say it properly and just wrote it wrong. I was an exchange student in France for a year and this is definitely one of the words I learnt. I don’t know how to write the pronounciation, but this video does it pretty well, except the e isn’t meant to be so promenant at the end. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZVaRau1c_g

To answer @Forver21, the “ll” is pronounced “ye” in French if there is a “i” before the “ll”, if no “i”, then it is a normal “l” pronunciation!
Great fun article!

In reply to Phatt Chef. You're quite right. The pronunciation gets us every time. ;)

I always battle with “Thank you, but I have had a delicate sufficiency”, and ” No more for me’, or “I shouldn’t, but if you insist, well OK pile it on then!”

try “kneidlach” k-ney-d-lach (in the back of the throat!), “perogen” per-og-en, “lokshen” lock-shin, “teiglach” tay-g-lach (back of the throat again!)
all Jewish specialities.
