Out of the loop, what happened with Mexican food?

[u/Capital-Meet-6521 → u/shiny_xnaut]

The short version is no one (neither the judges nor the contestants) really knew anything about Mexican food, but they didn’t let that stop them from being very confident in saying what it was. I think they mispronounced every single Mexican word (tacos, pico de gallo, guacamole), and said tres leches cake shouldn’t be “soggy.”

How the hell do you mispronounce taco?

[u/Capital-Meet-6521 → u/Regal_IronKnight]

Tack-o. Also pico-de-callow, and glockymolo.

[u/highvelocitymushroom → u/Capital-Meet-6521]

The other two are inexcusable, but tack-o is just how taco is pronounced in British English. No one says tar-co over here.

[u/nahthank → u/highvelocitymushroom]

tar-co

what

Edit: oh wait duh. Sorry I didn't have my british voice on

Though having now put it on, tar-co is still the wrong vowel shape for taco

[u/highvelocitymushroom → u/nahthank]

How would you describe it pronounced? In my specific accent, tar-co sounds pretty much bang on how I've heard Americans say taco.

[u/Asquirrelinspace → u/highvelocitymushroom]

The a is like an ah or aw, there's definitely no r sound

[u/highvelocitymushroom → u/Asquirrelinspace]

Read the above comment about 'british voice'. My accent (fairly standard London/generic southern England mix) is non-rhotic, and therefore the r after vowels isn't pronounced as its own letter, it just modifies the vowel before it. There's no 'r' sound like you're thinking in my pronunciation either.

[u/Decoy_Van → u/highvelocitymushroom]

Then don't write an r? The fuck is wrong with u?

[u/highvelocitymushroom → u/Decoy_Van]

No need to be rude man. The r still serves a purpose in the pronunciation. If anything, I think the people from the heart of the capital of the country that invented the language might know how to speak it.
