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.
Have I forgotten any?

Yes, my objection to Jamie Oliver's speech impediment. He sounds like
he has a mouth full of marbles (which some here claim is a regional
accent). It's like listening to fingernails on a blackboard (or
worse, squeaking a balloon) to me. I can't hear his message because
it's too hard to get past his mush mouthed enunciation.

He speaks with a London accent He also has a 'short tongue' which makes
him kinda lisp a bit

If he ever gets into the chef Olympics maybe he should qualify for the
Special Olympics? I can handle is accent and his lisp. I used to have
trouble with his enthusiasm. He was would a little too tight for my
liking. He seems to have toned it down a bit.

I'll have to look for more of him on tv. I've only seen him a couple
of times and I never noticed any speech impediment that many claim
here. I've always just liked the fact that he's "let's get down to
business" personality with no gimmicks, like constant smiling, etc. He
obviously knows how to cook very well.

I like him and his shows, but his lisp drives me right up the wall.
Have you caught one of his shows where he barbecues? He has a hole in
the ground where he builds a fire and puts a grate over it to cook.
Very low tech and very, very cool.

My Dad used to do that when we were kids. Well, he dug the hole - my
mother did the cooking.

In the winter here, I like to hike along the shore of the bay in my
local state park. At low tide, you can wade out in the water, only
ankle deep and harvest oysters attached to the rocks.

One day, I had one of my best lunches ever out there. I dug a pit on
the beach and got a good fire going. Then I waded out and got about 6
nice-sized oysters. Once the fire burned down to hot coals, I set the
oysters on them and let them steam in their own shells until they
opened up. Seafood doesn't get much better than that. :-)

Fresh oysters? What was the fire for? Lemon juice and dash of Tabasco
would have done it.

They're BBQ'd oysters. Cook them, just until they start to pop open.
Pry open and dress. My son makes garlicky melted butter to use, then
you squeeze a slice of lemon on it and add a dash of hot sauce. Gary
was on the beach, so his were very simple bbq'd oysters.

You even ask that? You've never had fresh, steamed in their shell
oysters, I suppose. I don't eat oysters raw and the lemon juice is
not real cooking to me. Try my method sometime then get back to me.
No need for tabasco either....just fresh cooked in their shells in
their own salty liquid. yum. :-D

I also cringe when Bobby Flay uses the word "blue" or pretty much anything
with an "l" in it. I figured out that the only way I could make my words
sound like that was to stick my tongue out when I was talking. And then I
saw him do it! His tongue did stick out when he was saying a word with an
"l" in it.

I'm not trying to be unkind, Julie, but everyone here knows that just
about everything bothers you or has something wrong with it. Why spend
the time and effort to figure out his speech? These chefs are
obviously doing something right and haven't had their career or income
harmed by minor speech issues.
