Always fun how Americans pronounce "parmesan" as "parmezhan"
the original Italian is parmigiano, so a soft g/j sound is actually more accurate than a s/z sound
Yes on the first point - it's closer to how the Italians pronounce it. But Parmigiano and Parmesan are not the same word.
The English word "Parmesan" comes from the French word "Parmesan", which is pronounced, you guessed it, with a s/z sound.
The soft g/j is not more accurate, because it's a different word. It's an over-correction.
FWIW, the word was in English nearly a whole century before the first British colony in America. It really is a word that existed and folk in America changed the pronunciation of.
In our defense, Italians kept coming here and eating Parmesan. It makes sense we'd pronounce it closer to the Italian

Our unique pronunciation comes from Philadelphia, where they use the word "jawn" to mean "thing." They called it "that parma jawn", meaning like "that thing from parma" but the j became a zh over time.

Yeah, but that's not unique to Americans or even the English language. In German we write it the same (Parmesan) and pronounce a soft s in that place.

Why, how do you pronounce it?
In a way easily described as dialect?
I mean Leicester and Lester can be homophones.
"can be"? How else would you pronounce either?!
Foreigners often get tripped up by Leicester - "Lie-Chester" is a common effort.
I may only speak English, but I really don't speak whatever they're talking in England
I used to work in central London and it was always funny hearing Americans trying to pronounce place names.
"Can you tell us how to get to Lee-chester square?"
"You mean Leicester Square?"
They'd always pronounce the H in Buckingham Palace, but the way my nephew or niece said it "bucket and palace" was the best.
"Where's that bucking ham palace"
Yeah it's hard as a foreigner to wrap your head around it. Thankfully this guy has us covered
Thank you so much.

My dad was a homophone, and my mom left him. She couldn't stand the bigger brie.
Gay people have rights too
John Cleese's original family name was Cheese, but his dad changed it because it was silly
Well now I have to link this clip and I deliberately chose the audio only version because it's so much better than any other.

So is pronounced Parme-sean
Depends on whether you pronounce it as Sean or Sean.
Chad, short for chaddar :)
If it isn't yet, Roquefort should definitely be a first name for well-groomed little boys in fancy little adult outfits.
Listen to this for more cheeses.
