The Huffington Post has listed 30 commonly mispronounced food words and how they should actually be said.
Alongside the usual suspects of Aïoli ("ay-OH-lee"; "i-OH-lee”), Croissant (“kwah-SAHN"; "KWAH-sawn"; "kruh-SAHNT”) and Bouillabaisse ("BOOL-yuh-BAYZ"; "BOOL-yuh-BEHZ") sit some you’ll find you’ve been pronouncing wrong without even realising.
Unsurprisingly lots of the ingredients on the list come from Italy with mascarpone, prosciutto and Parmesan all making the list.
