Sounds like a Portuguese creole or a language similar to Portuguese, is it? :)

Käse (Germany)

I wonder what it's called in Austria

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Depending on where in Austria:

Kas, Käs or Kaas

[–] [email protected] 12 points 22 hours ago

Probably something like topfenschnarkel.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Ser (pronounced like in "Yes, sir!")

❤️❤️ I've been on an insane Italian food kick lately

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Fromage - French (with other informal words such as "fromton" or "claquos")

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Omelette du fromage.

The only French I know, thanks to Dexter's Laboratory.

[–] ImplyingImplications 19 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese

These are Americans we're talking about. Maybe it is an omelette of cheese?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

ngl it's about half and half whenever I make one. 🖐️🫣

Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Even if it was omelette of cheese it would be "omelette de fromage"

Claquos ?! Je le connaissais pas celui là. Je vais le réutiliser au prochain repas de famille ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

J'ai voulu vérifier l'orthographe, et autant c'est bon, autant a priori c'est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d'après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l'utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y'a peut-être des puristes de l'argot qui m'y reprendraient.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

Queijo (pronounced 'keijo')

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

That is not how you pronounce Keijo. (I'm just teasing, as it's a Finnish name and you're just estimating a pronunciation. We should all learn to use the IPA I think.)

Kummeli Jackpot — Keijoa huijataan

We call it "juusto" pronounced yuuh-sto

[–] snoons 11 points 1 day ago

"Too expensive."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Keeze (Dutch Lower Saxon).

Sajt. Funny enough sajt is my default test word eg.: is google working let me search for sajt

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

For the non-native: that 'S' is pronounced 'sh' and 'j' is pronounced 'y'. It almost sounds like shite.
