Before I heard it being said I kept pronouncing the surname “Mangione” as “Man-jee-own” rather than “man-jo-nee” and I’m still ashamed about it lol I’m sorry

    yeah, french (and borrowed words) is usually my hard-mode when it comes to pronunciations. this one is special because it’s dessert (or so I think).

      As used around here in the US it is fancy finger foods, usually appetizers. But we also tend to use the words differently than the source, like we use entree for the main part of the meal.
