Marilyn, I agree! Eat'um up!!!
When looking at my can o'La Morena (they're my favs!) and even my Herdez can (my
not so favs - ISH!)...
Ittiz "chilpotles". Note the first 'l'...
And frum what I learned, in Spanish each syl-al-bull izz pronounced.
It is correctly prounced, as the young Hispanic woman that was xplaining to me
how hard English is because she was so used to pronouncing each syllable said,
"cheel-pote-lay."
So, you guys say "to-may-to," I say "to-ma-toe." I say, lettuce eat the whole
damn (can I say that?) bunch up!!!! YUMMERS!
