Are you afraid of colour?

Inspired by Osso's name on Abuzz, I found a
recipe for ossobucco using chicken as a substitute....it was simmeringly delicious...

Happy ThanksgivingALL.....I wonder how many
will sit around a spectacularly colourful dinnertable?

That sounds good, Shepaints! (er, it's not ossobucco - that would be pronounced oh-so-bucko; it's ossobuco or osso buco, pronounced oh-so-boo-co, more or less.)

Oh, good - it's interesting, several people always spell it with the two cc's and it makes me wonder how people on a2k hear the word... if they are thinking of the sound "bucko" when all these years I think of it as boo-co. It's not a real-life name, naturally, and it amuses me that I would make the jump to having any level of concern about how people say it! A screen name, or moniker, becomes part of one's sense of self....

Ceili gets misspelled all the time, it's just five small letters - but I wonder about the mispronunciation too.

I think I sometimes misspell your name Osso Embarrassed sorry but i do pronounce it right!

Ceili is pronounced Kayley over here - Gaelic origin - Irish? they pronounce C's as hard

it is also the word for a get-together a sort of informal party with music and dancing and singing.

some names are misleading I always thought nimh was a female - thinking of the similarly spelt Irish name that is actually pronounced neeve - turns out he's a he!

I love the spelling contradictions of some Irish names... compared to the pronounciation.

Back to topic... it was so grey here today, it was just like there was a film of white glass over everything. Nasty. It removes all colour.

Osso.....it seems that your name is spelt
either osso bucco or osso buco....I just
saw a recipe in a magazine as osso bucco

a quote from "the Donald" re: colour......from
his website at www.trumptoronto.ca

"Some dreams are in black and white. Others
never dare. A visionary dreams in bold vivid
hues. Donald J. Trump dreams in colour....

An online search reveals both spellings, though
the translation site I consulted concurs with your spelling.

No wonder there is confusion!

There are a lot of misspellings online for a lot of words; in italian ossobuco has only one 'c'.

Il buco means the hole; l'osso means bone.

Colour's good.

So is osso bucco - which is the preferred spelling in a number of European cookbooks (and pronounced boooko). There doesn't really seem to be complete agreement on it.

Ceili with the hard c, as Vivien's described it, is the standard here. Usually in reference to the party - the ceilidh. Lots of ceilidhs in my home town.

Not italian ones...

I'm glad to know about the hard c for Ceili - I've been saying her name wrong all this time.

"ossobuco"..."ossobucco"...it's her name, she can spell it whatever way she wants! She's still ossocool, as far as I'm concerned. Smile
