Bonjour!
This is Julien, the Frenchman, who makes French pronunciation videos here on YouTube and we are looking at how to pronounce the name of this traditional Breton cake from Brittany to the west of France that the New York Times described as the fattiest pastry in all of Europe.
And it may well be.
It is so rich but so delicious.
The name comes from the Breton language words for cake and butter put together.
How would you pronounce it in French or in Breton?
We would pronounce it Kouign Amann.
Kouign Amann. Kouign Amann.
But it would be fine in English or American to say Kouign Amann.
Kouign Amann. Kouign Amann.
