Do you say it with an accent?

Are there any other foods or drinks that you say with an accent?

Half and half now you got me thinking about it. Cwosont. French to start then the T turns up at the end.

Soft to start and hard at the end

If you pronounce the hard r sound after another consonant, like cr, tr etc, it is supposed to sound like your clearing your throat. In France it seems normal, here it sounds like your about spit 😂

The approximation of a sort of w sound, e,g. as a qu sound (as in quack) for croissant ~ quasson, is what most non-native speakers do, and apparently many French people find English people speaking French quite sexy… takes all sorts I guess 🤷‍♂️

Fucking Pretentious people demonstrating they know a word in French........

Look .... If you are in the Chinese do you suddenly ask for your dishes with a chinese accent ?

If you are served Chilli Con Carne do shout a couple of Arribas as it comes to the table ?

I'm English it's Cr Oi Sant

Next thing you'll be asking in the shop for a can of tomato bisque

AND ! what is it with the fucking dill pickles being re named as cornichons ?

I don't care if anyone thinks it's pretntious or not. If I know how to pronounce it close to original will do so whether it's French, Mongolese or Icelandic but not worried otherwise. Some people call espresso, expresso and so what. But I will call it espresso as I have always done.
