I do quite often marvel at the customers in the Not Always Right blog, but today the joke's on the server -- in this one, we're supposed to be amazed that the mispronouncing customer is mollified when the server re-pronounces the name of the dish.
Except that the customer (and about a billion people in the U.S.) is correct. "Bruschetta" is NOT "broo-shet-ta". In Italian, if there's an "h" after a "c", it's a hard c, and pronounced as "k". It's "broo-sket-ta".
Drives me up the wall, that does.
