How do you pronouce creme for the flavored fraps at starbucks?!
Answers: there is an accement mark in cream. is it pronouced regularly like cream or like crem?
I'm sure it's supposed to be like crem, but I just say creme as in cream, they know what you're talking about. All you have to say for ex. is: "I would like a Vanilla Bean Blended Creme" That's what I get, that's how I order it, and it's delicious!
creme
'Creme' is a word made up by advertisers. The government doesn't allow food manufacturers to advertise 'cream' when there is no actual cream from milk in the product. So they say 'creme', which is pronounced just the same, meaning artificial cream made from corn syrup thickened with carageenan or guar gum.
If you look at snack products in the grocery store you'll see this a lot. Hostess Twinkies and cupcakes are 'creme filled'. If you made them yourself you'd fill them with real whipped cream. But these things have to have a shelf life of several months, and real cream would go bad! (Plus it's more expensive!) So they are 'creme filled'. I think I have even seen 'dessert topping' labelled 'whipped creme'.
OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
starbucks frapachino's I've not had one of them for ages they are the best Im going to go out and get a banana java chip chocolate RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
You pronounce it the same way you would say "cream."
Crème IS NOT a made up word... geesh, TC's should check their sources.
Crème is French for cream. As in creme brulee
It is pronounced Crim ... like him with a Cr
Aren't you all ignorant Americans? I mean the server and the patron?
If you're really language-challenged, just put your finger on the item on the menue, or just say "iwanummer3".
Being the French spelling it's probabally "crem" but as it's Starbucks I don't think you have to worry about it.
