No. It's jalapeņo. Trust me. "-)
The "doodad" is a tilde - say TEEL-deh or TEEL-day. And you really do
need it if you're going to insist on spelling it correctly. The ņ is a
separate and distinct letter in the Spanish alphabet. Without it, it's
just another misspelled word. (And I'll bet your keyboard will make the
tilde - you just have to know how. Easily done on a Macintosh, less so
in Windows.)
