Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Oh now don't go doing that! *lol* I am sure I will find one at one of our supermarkets. I am just a lazy-butt and hate to go to those places since I prefer the small farmer's markets and healthfood stores. Just help me out though on how to say it right. I am thinking you pronounce it like CHAY-o-Tay? One time I was looking for some tempeh and the clerk embarassed me by correcting my bad pronounciation by giving me that " you're an idiot " look. *lol* Now I know how to say tempeh the right way I still sometimes forget and say it my old wrong way. ~ PT ~ The drying up a single tear has more of honest fame than shedding seas of gore. ~Lord Byron, poet (1788-1824) ~~~*~~*~~~*~~*~~~> , " Donna " <thelilacflower wrote: > > If you can't find one I'll have to mail one up to you. > Sissy lets' them stay in her car for days and they are fine so I think > a few could make the trip up there via priority mail > (;- ) Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I've heard it pronounced Chai-o-tea, but I prefer to pronounce it Mirliton. Just an alternate name...like eggplant/aubergine.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Chai-o-tea.... I like that! Thanks Veronica. Sounds like Irish spiced tea. *lol* Thank you also for the info on the different word for this veggie: Mirliton. Good to know those other names and will help when reading recipes. ~ PT ~ Each day and night That I recite the genealogy of Brighid I shall not be killed or despoiled, I shall not be imprisoned nor wounded. ~ Scots Gaelic Blessing ~~~*~~~*~~~> , Diamond Dog <diamonddog wrote: > > I've heard it pronounced Chai-o-tea, but I prefer to pronounce it Mirliton. > Just an alternate name...like eggplant/aubergine. > > Veronica > > At 09:30 PM 6/21/2006 +0000, you wrote: > > >I am thinking you pronounce it like CHAY-o-Tay?

Hey PT, I had the same experience -- only more embarrassing. I had a tempeh-making question, so I called the Soyfoods Center (it's run by the authors of the Book of Tempeh). The gentleman who picked up the phone was none other than Bill Shurtleff, the author. I felt so tongue-tied and goofy -- I couldn't care less about celebrities, but I *so* admire this guy! So I immediately mispronounced 'tempeh' and he said, " Allow me to correct your pronunciation... " In my defense, we have a city here in AZ called Tempe, and the accent *is* on the second syllable, but still... Another embarrassment: I was looking for some chipotles and asked the woman in the store where I could find them, pronouncing it to rhyme with 'chip total'. She grinned and said " chee-pote-lay " ? She was nice about it, but I felt like a " chip total " idiot. Live and learn Nancy P.S. I haven't forgotten yours, Shawn's or Amy's questions re: vegan cheeze and seitan -- things get hectic this time of the year. We're trying to get maintenance-type things done before hell season sets in, and computer time is at a premium. I have your questions set aside and will get to them soon, I promise (sorry it's been so long). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi Nancy! (((hugs))) I guess we are both silly gooses [geese]! *lol* So nice to read I am not the only person who pronounced new things wrong in the past and felt so silly. Hey, at least we are trying new cool stuff all the time, so we are not stuck in some boring rut or dull, even if we don't always know the proper way to say it, huh? I like to jalapenos JAL-aps... and I don't pronounce the 'j' in a 'h' sound and as a family joke we call chipotles Chip-POT-ls, even though we all know how to say it right. Good to see you post. You don't worry about your time and go get what needs getting done finished. We'll be right here and our questions can wait. ~ PT ~ It is the chief point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is. ~ Desiderius Erasmus ~~~~*~~~*~~~> , Nancy <meritra wrote: > I had the same experience -- only more embarrassing.
