The bruschetta debate rages on. As someone pointed out on my other bruschetta post, some people do pronounce it "brushetta" and not like "brusketta". This is how I pronounced it too until that fateful day a week ago. After a bit of research (that 5 minutes on Google really does pay off!), it's become obvious that the Italians pronounce it the latter way while people who don't speak Italian say the former. I have been debating it with my family as well and my aunt has brought in countless friends, waiters and other random Italian-Americans to weigh in on the subject, and it seems to come out even.
Now, I'm not always a fan of pronouncing something the way the native speakers do. For example, I find Alex Trebek pretentious when he corrects someone on their French in Jeopardy. (Yes Alex, we know we can't pronounce those words for shit, but will you kindly shut up?) However, I think in this case, there's enough people around who pronounce it the right way to make it proper.
