    I grew up with it being 'koo-min' (or 'coo-min', if you wish). Put enough on your food, and you yell 'Cooo-eee!'

    Coo-min and turmeric (I pronounce the first R) are part of my recipe for yellow rice.

    Missed your reply, Charlie. That tells me you didn't include peguins, as I always get those. But if @PLA liked it, it must have been funny.

    Right or wrong ... I say coo min (short i).

    My family's favorite way to enjoy it is on burgers. Grill up burgers with soy sauce, black pepper and cumin. My family calls them Daddy burgers and they're always a hit. :drool::happy093::eatdrink020:

    This is how I pronounced it too. I love the stuff. One of my favorite spices to cook with.

    Chef Tyler Florence just said koo-min.

    But, Ann Burell just said cue-min.
