Not Italian, but me too. I also drop the a on ricotta cheese
and pronounce it something along the lines of reegott. Hope-
fully that wasn't tomorrow's poll question.

I also say oregana, think I picked that up from my friend's
grandma growing up.

OE: I drop the o in prosciutto too... prozchoot or something
along those phonetic lines.

Re: Super Important Poll

People who say "Moo-tza-rella" often do not say it in that exaggerated Italianish sounding way common in the moo-tza-llel crowd.

"mooo-tza-LLEL"

My friends father's favorite Italian restaurant joke is if you
don't pronounce pasta e fagioli as pasta fazool the waiter will
spit in your soup. He tells it funnier.

Are we there yet?

My mother used to get embarrassed by the folks at the deli counter in front of her ordering the "capicola" phonetically.

Re: Super Important Poll

I pronounce it moot-za-RELL.
No biggie.

What IS important, though, is that people up here in many parts of Connecticut call it APizza (pronounced a-PEETZ and spelled that way on signs on the shops), rather than PEET- za.

Infamia!

That's because of the vomit that is "New Haven style"

Re: Super Important Poll

Actually, I've eaten at Pepe's (There's one in Danbury) and found it to be pretty good. I had a traditional one, not the clams in the picture, just cheese and mushrooms and liked the minimal sauce and the thin crust. I would have liked a bit more olive oil.

Re: Super Important Poll

Pepe's is vastly overrated, but I wouldn't call it vomit.

Modern is the best of the three - I love thin crust, but I don't like it burnt.

Oddly, it's sauce for me, even though I'm the one "awesome" vote up there.

And it's "sausage," but it's "salseech" when I'm being sassy and messing with my kids.

Yes, ch is probably more phonetically effective.

If I'm making sweet sausage patties on the grill or making sausage and peppers, it's sausage.

On a-Beetz (it's not a-Peetz), it's sauseeage

As the southerner of the CPF, I believe I am precluded from participation in any and all threads pertaining to grammar and pronunciation.

Hell, what do I know? I think all y'all talk funny.

If you wanna speaka de Italiano, here'sa where you shoulda start:

[list]C’e ‘na luna mezz’u mare
Mamma mia m’a maritare
Figlia mia a cu te dare
Mamma mia pensace tu
Se te piglio lu pesciaiole
Isse vai isse vene
Sempe lu pesce mane tene
Se ce ‘ncappa la fantasia
Te pesculia figghiuzza mia
La lariula pesce fritt’e baccala
Uei cumpa no calamare c’eggi’accatta

(Second stanza)

C’e ‘na luna mezz’u mare
Mamma mia m’a maritare
Figlia mia a cu te dare
Mamma mia pensace tu
Se te piglio lu pulezia
Isse vai isse vene
Semp’a scuppetta mane tene
Se ce ‘ncappa la fantasia
Te scuppettea figghiuzza mia
La lariula pesce fritt’e baccala
Uei cumpa ‘na scuppetta c’eggi’accatta

(And now for you nice ladies and gentlemen out there who don’t understand the eye-talian language, I’d like to do two choruses in British)

Lazy Mary you better get up
She answered back I am not able
Lazy Mary you better get up
We need the sheets for the table
Lazy Mary you smoke in bed
There’s only one man you should marry
My advice to you would be
Is to pay attention to me
You’d better marry a fireman
He’ll come and go, go and come

Sempe la pompa mane tene
Se ce ‘ncappa la fantasia
Te pomperia figghiuzza mia
La lariula pesce fritt’e baccala
Uei cumpa ‘na pompina c’eggi’accatta
0 cumma ca me voglio marita
Trovame ‘na uagliotta
Ca me voglio marita
Trovame ‘na uagliotta
Ca me voglio marita
Trovame ‘na uagliotta
Ca me voglio marita
