How are you supposed to pronounce GOX?

I always thought it was Go-Ex also... confused

I believe the other way, pra(rhymes with bra)-leen. At least on the other side of the pond I never heard they 'pray-leen' version until I came this side.

Some history for the word:

The original praline recipe, developed for Cesar, Duke of Choseul, Count of Plessis-Praslin in 1636 by his head chef, Clement Jaluzot. (For history fans, this was during the reign of Louis XIII, who was a big fan of the Duke's candied nuts.) The Mazet praslines are wonderful nuggets of caramelized sugar and roasted almonds.

I've had a debate over this for months with a friend from Looziana.

I've always said 'pray-leen'.
He laughed and corrected me with 'pra-leen' (like 'bra').

In Texas it's pee-cahn prael-een. You gotta get that "eh" sound in after the "ay".... very slowly: puh-r-ay-eh-leen. :p
