I'm trying to figure out why Capicola is pronounced Gabagool? 🤔 

LOL!!! It is a dialect pronunciation that, somehow, has become rather main stream. Even family of mine,  and we speak true Roman Italian, say it like that.🤔🙄

Thanks for asking.  I was just posting and will post about our evening yesterday when I saw your post.  All is well.  Middle daughter family was at the Polar Express in Branson while the Youngest came to Little Rock to babysit while the oldest daughter and SIL took us to Memphis.  Check out my next post.

Looks like a lot of fun last night, great gift too.

Glad you made it home safe and sound.

Thanks!!!!  I thought so but I wasn't sure.  I am so going to lord this over her.  She keeps laughing telling me I'm wrong.  She's older but I get to be smarter!

NO it is not.🤨

Not every person who is fluent in a language pronounces every word the same.At one time in my life I was fluent in Italian as was my father and my godfather,the latter who was born in Italy.

Are you saying that every person who speaks Italian pronounces every word the same way ?

I just got off the phone with my sister and laid this whole cucina issue to rest.  I told her not to argue anymore and that we are DONE.

Lenny we were stating how cucina is correctly pronounced.  If others pronounce it differently it doesn't make it correct.

It does not mean that Ocean Boy pronounces it correctly.Residents of Boston do not necessarily pronounce a word the same as a person from Alabama.

That is your opinion which of course you are entitled to but it does not mean that it is correct.

Except I am correct.🙂 The sound of a "C" is determined by the following vowel and whether or not an "H" is between the "C" and the vowel. That's the story and I'm sticking to it.😊

Maybe not the same, but Boston folks probably say it 'correctly' 😉🤣🤣
