Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Is a quiche the same as a tart?
Speaker B: Savoury! QUICHE comes from the German Kuchen, a cake, via French, so it's a savoury open tart with an egg and cream filling, while a tart can be sweet.
Speaker A: So a quiche Lorraine has bacon?
Speaker B: Exactly — it's the classic version!
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "She baked a quiche"; "the quiche Lorraine was delicious"; "he ordered a slice of quiche" — a dish, a type and a portion.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Don't pronounce the qu as in "queen", because quiche is pronounced keesh, rhyming with sheesh.
