Along the lines of curiosity displayed by @Kilgore Trout in his Pecan? thread, I am wondering about the pronunciation of cumin. What do you think?
Yeah, cue-min might have been a better phonetic representation. I used some last night in making chili and thought about the different pronunciations.
Funny, I've been thinking about making chili lately. Minus the cue-min. But, I have some dried Thai chili pepers that are itching to fulfill their destiny.
Yup. Cue like cuestick. A favorite on most every meat I cook. It is specially tasty on over roasted penguin.
While you're on the spice discussion, do you say tum-er-ric or turm-er-ic? Hal-a-pee-no or hal-a pay-nyo. Chi-pol-tay or chi-polt-lay. The word that TV cooks mispronounce most of the time is Vidalia, as in the sweet onion variety. Usually they say Veh-dah-lee-uh. I'm from Georgia, trust me it's pronounced Vie-day-uh.
Cyoo'men for me. Nasty stuff, I can't stand cilantro. I tolerate cumin because a full tablespoon goes into Josea's Word Class Meatloaf.
Been through Vidalia louisiana often. You gotta pronounce the L there. So I do the same with the onion.
It's your dinner, so pronounce it your way, but the onion comes from Georgia where they don't pronounce the L.
From Cuminum cyminum (koo'-min-um), so I pronounce the shortened version as koo'-min. In our household, essential for many Indian dishes and of course, making chile as well as chile rubs from meats
hal-uh-payn'-yo — there is no PEE-no, unless you gringo-ize it. Chee-poat'-lay - my son had a coach who used to call it 'Chip-poadle'
At the risk of being NFSW... Many years ago, I received a porn spam which caught my eye (this was the days before effective spam filters). The subject line talked about a woman who was "cumin with carrot in her p*ssy".
From aa LA Hispanic point of view its COO-min... Q-min just sounds dumb Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
