Let's see, there's an objection to how Martha Stewart pronounces
Marinade. A previous objection to how Bobby Flay pronounces chipotle
(chi-po-t-ley), and an objection to how what's-his-name in California
pronounces cilantro (cil-lan-thro) Oh, and, frequent objections to
Giada de Laurentis using Italian pronunciation for Italian food items.
