How to Pronounce Boeuf Bourguignon

I've had several inquiries about the correct pronunciation of Boeuf Bourguignon. I'll try my best to tell you, phonetically (and without a French accent, LOL), how to say it. Boeuf is pronounced boof. It rhymes with poof.

Next, bourguignon. Start with bow (like bow and arrow), then guin (like Guinness beer, or New Guinea. It's a hard G follwed by "in"), then yawn. Put it all together: bow-guin-yawn.

Boof Bow-guin-yawn.

I hope this helps, but, if you're still not comfortable with your pronunciation, just call it by it's English name: Burgundy Beef.

Edit: I never would have imagined this would be the most frequently viewed entry on my blog. Every so often I get an extremely rude comment (always anonymously, of course)quibbling about the pronunciation of boeuf. Is there some reason people can't politely disagree with you? Ah, yes. They're anonymous. Anonymous+rude=deleted comment.

As I stated, this was my best and without a French accent. There's not an exact English translation I know of to identically duplicate the French pronunciation of boeuf. Listen to the two pronunciations in this link and you'll see how silly it is to argue over so minor a difference. Boof is about as close as you're going to get and rarely (if ever) will a fellow American even note it's not perfect. Well, except perhaps an anonymous a-hole, but who cares about them anyway?
