Bruschetta with a Texas Twist (Video)
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
This is a video from Goodbite.com for an interesting twist on Bruschetta. They did such a great job producing it but when I watched it I was immediately taken aback by the contrast of my Alabama accent compared to the hosts lovely, more “proper” accent. I can’t quite place hers but it is truly beautiful, and kept me laughing every time the camera cut back to me talking! I hope you enjoy the video and get to make this soon.

I think whats most annoying is the fact that american woman cannot say Bruschetta properly. Please, if you are going to be in the food industry – learn how to pronounce the names of dishes!
Good thing I’m not in the “food industry” then.
If this is the most annoying thing you encounter then you must have a pretty good life and a lot to be grateful for.
Personally, I can think of far more serious things to get annoyed about (children going hungry, cancer, networks who always find the one Southerner in pink rollers to interview after a tornado) so I’m not one to get my dander up about someone partaking of their freedom to pronounce how they see fit (in this case, that’d be me). ~grins~
It’s a beautiful world (even with us pesky Americans) ~winks~ and I’m glad your corner is sunny! Wishing you the best of everything.
Saluuuute!
I loved the bit about the one Southerner in pink rollers to interview after a tornado – the news people do that around here. Find the one person who has obviously just rushed out without makeup or taking their rollers out or something embarrassing then ask them all about their opinions on whatever whilst the poor woman is dying of embarrassment – just thinking about what the neighbours will say…
There are many connections between the Southern states and Northern England and this is another.
Agreed and Salute!!!
True, true.. it is the most annoying thing in the world.. except maybe for pretentious people.
Dear Christy and Bill
I’m a bit confused – Salute?
Sue..Its from the old TV show “Hee Haw”. They would pick a small town somewhere in America and tell its small population while saluting with there hands and yelling “SAAAAALUUUTE!”
I’ve been looking for a video to show her and can’t find one on youtube!
Of course – Silly me!
I remember now.
Many thanks for taking the time to explain
I think Bill and I need to take a field trip to your neck of the woods, Sue.
Wouldn’t that be a hoot and a half?? Wonder if you can still get there by boat….
Dear Christy
Her accent is mixed. Sometimes an English pronunciation, and a little American with some New Zealand overtones on some of the words.
However, if she has travelled a lot and lived in different countries that would explain it.
FYI She is a finalist on The Next Food Network Star right now.
That recipe looks great! I have been watching Aarti on the Next Food Network Star….she has been my favorite, all along. I sure hope she wins!!!
Hi Christy,
Her name is Aarti Sequeria. She was born in India and raised in Dubai. She is a former CNN Producer. She attended culinary school. She is currently a contestant in my favorite show The Next Food Network Star. She was just chosen this past Sunday as one of 3 finalists. Her Point of View is recipes from her India with an American twist. she would call her show “Aarti’s Party” if she wins.
She is my favorite. She is bubbly and warm and a natural on camera. She tells stories about her Mum while she cooks. She is awesome.
Check out the competition on Sunday night at 9 p.m.
I think your voice is as lovely as hers.

I think the Texas Caviar would also make a yummy filling for a pita bread sammich (Chicagoese for sandwich). Loved the video. BTW, I have always found the Southern lilt charming. 😀
