Hmmm...from Alabama Jacks! Or some cracked conch at the Poop Deck in Nassau.

MMMMM. I'm getting hungry.
I'm partial to the conch fritters with key lime dipping sauce at the Turtle Kraals

People who say it with the 'ch' sound need to be smacked.

Very interesting.

Was the conch wearing a shirt?

I have no idea what 'kangk' sounds like.

I was wondering about that too.

You could always plug "kangk" into the text-to-speech program and see what they think it sounds like.

I can't even figure out how to say "kangk"....what does it rhyme with?

That's it I'm mounting an expedition to BO's Fish Wagon. Conch Fritters for all!

Enough of this snow and cold!

uh hmmm....HONK!

Are they conchs or conches?

Might be better answered in the dating thread!

I have never met anyone born or reared on the ocean (at least the warmer parts where conchs are native) who pronounces it with a soft "ch."

Who cares, as long as I'm in the Keys and warm

If they can't say it right, they can't have any! (fritters that is)

It was kangk in the dictionary with those two little dots over the 'a'
I should have said 'konk.'

I agree it should be konk.

I once had an english class in which we read Lord of the Flies. Amazingly, everyone in teh class who had been to the Conch Republic said konk, and those who hadn't said konch. Such simpletons.

yip, order conch as opposed to 'konk' fritters and you'll get a 'damn tourist' look from the server

yep - and Margaritaville Orlando's are decent


but NOBODY beats AJ's

The same crowd that pronounces it with -ch like China are the same crowd that change their order after learning that Mahi Mahi is dolphin.
