I've always thought, probably mistakenly, that Tabbouleh was pronounced
"Tab-bow-lay". However, I've recently heard someone pronounce it
"Tab-boo-lee".

Which is correct? Can anyone here clarify please?

Many thanks in advance.

That's the fake Peter, again. Please check
the headers before taking the bait. If you
can't check the headers because you're using
webTV or something as a browser, you should
always assume it's a fake post from Bevan
Kirkland.

I've always pronounced it tah-boo-lee.

Some of them do/did. Most Sicilians originated from Turkey and
surrounding areas. Many left to escape the great war of 1675. Once
again, Google is your fiend!

There seem to be a lot of variations regarding the spelling and
pronunciation:

/t@'bu:l@/ and /t@'bu:li/ are both acceptable pronunciations in
English according to DJ16, but Oxford likes /t@'bu,leI/.

Your transcription doesn't help
(1) the /b/ is in the second syllable, not the first, and certainly not
doubled
(2) <bow> has at least the pronunciations /baU/, /b@U/, and /boU/, none
of which are right. So what you "always thought" is clearly wrong.
(3) <boo> has the correct vowel /bu:/
(4) Your third syllable |lay| seems to correspond to Oxford's preferred
/eI/. The version you heard |lee| seems to corresond to DJ16's second
one /li/, although |lee| suggests greater length. Either seems acceptable.

:-) Carol, there is a home canned product sometimes called 'mangoes.'
They are stuffed red and green (like a mango) peppers - the ones I'm
familiar with are stuffed with a sweet-sour cabbage relish.

Here's a recipe from Cooks.com:
STUFFED MANGOS OR PEPPERS

12 med. peppers
1 c. salt
4 c. cold water
1 qt. vinegar
1 qt. shredded cabbage
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. mustard seed
2 c. water
1/4 c. sugar

Cut tops off peppers and save. Scoop out seeds and soak peppers with
salt water. Drain. Combine cabbage and spices and stuff into shells.
Replace tops. Pack into sterilized jars leaving 1/8 inch head space.
Pour vinegar, sugar and water brought to a boil over stuffed peppers.
Adjust caps (these may not seal). Yield 3 quarts.

And this from foodreference.com:
GREEN PEPPERS AND MANGOS
The word 'mango' is used in some areas to refer to green peppers or
stuffed green peppers. Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri are all states that I have received e-mails about
grandparents, parents and even current usage of 'mango' for green pepper.

Recent information I have come across (thanks in part to an e-mail
from website visitor Richard Clark) I believe explains how and why the
usage of the word spread along the path it did. Usage of 'mango' for
green peppers seems to have originated with coal miners in eastern
Pennsylvania (1870s +) - and spread with the mining industries, and then
with the miners families as they migrated to new areas and found new
jobs.

But why the word 'mango' for green peppers? Many of these coal
miners were of Eastern European origin, and it has been suggested that
the word may have a Slovak origin.

The English 'dialect' of the Appalachian region with its unique
pronunciation, grammar, and word usage is due in large part to the
immigration of miners, engineers and others from so many countries
coming together in one area and being relatively isolated in the small
mining towns.

They came from Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany,
Scotland, Wales, Greece, Turkey, and Syria to name a few - so the word
'mango' might have been adapted from one of these languages.

Also, in many old cookbooks, 'mango' would sometimes be used to
refer to a pickle, especially of melons or cucumber (resembling pickled
green mango?)

'Mango' was also a term sometimes used to refer to cantaloupe in
many old cookbooks).

So the question is, are there words in any Eastern European
languages for melon and/or green peppers that may sound like 'mango'?
Chef James

In the 1887 Edition of 'The Original White House Cook Book', there is a
recipe for Green Pepper Mangoes.
As follows:
"Select firm, sound, green peppers, and add a few red ones,as they are
ornamental and look well upon the table. With a sharp knife remove the
top, take out the seed, soak over night in salt water, then fill with
chopped cabbage and green tomatoes, seasoned with salt, mustard seed and
ground cloves. Sew on the top. Boil vinegar sufficient to cover them,
with a cup of brown sugar, and pour over the mangoes. Do this three
mornings, then seal."
That is the only recipe I have seen. J.M.

This would fit in with the use of 'mango' to refer to a pickle
(mentioned above) and also brings in the use of Green Peppers.

What is that supposed to mean, or are you just trying to be a smart-
arsed, loud-mouth typical fat pommy bitch?
In what way are Aussies being thugs?

Those LEBS on the other hand, have caused NOTHING but trouble inside
OUR country. They have NO interest in living our way and only want to
kill us all if they had half a chance. Ever since we became
'multicultural' this great country has gone downhill. When this
country was almost 100% white Anglo, it was heaven on earth.
All one needs to do is search for news stories about them if you don't
believe me and will PROVE me right.

I've only ever seen it spelled "Taboulé" and pronounced Tah-Boo-Lé (or

Which part? Calling them mangoes or stuffing green pepper shells with
cabbage relish? For the record, my family only ever called them stuffed
peppers, not mangoes. We *might* be a strange lot, but not in that way.

Sicilians speak italian (or at least try to) but have had a long arab
presence and this has left signs on many names. Many people has obviously
arab surnames, as Alì (note the stress on the letter "i"), and many places
are named after arab names, as Palermo Airport at "Punta Raisi", where Raisi
comes straigth from the arabian word "Rais", which everybody heard from the
TV talking about Saddam Hussein and which means "chief" or "leader". Many
dishes in Sicily are arab dishes and tabboule' is just one of them.

Yeah, I know. I feel like a ****ing Grade 3 school teacher having to
repeat myself over, and over, and over, and over again.

And yes, I also know, it *is* a cooking group....... but it *is* the
Internet!!

Some of you people *must* have at least 1 brain cell to be able to tell
the difference!!!

Kinda like spelling appetizer rather than hors d'oeuvre <g>. I can NEVER
spell hors d'oeuvre... had to look it up!

Note to Carol: I have pretty much trained Dick to know what a bell pepper
is and what a mango is!

Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with using English words in a primarily
English-speaking country. I just call 'em horse's ovaries if I don't
say appetizers.
