We called the fish leax before the French word came in and muscled that word out.
Thank you Faldage , now I know where the Swedish gravadlax comes from. I know it survives in German - Lachs, but I didn't know the leax part.
I pronounce the l in salmon and almond, it prolonges the a-sound
and somehow that makes me want to have both treats right now! Love those maps.Laugh!Quote:13.53% say something between “l” and nothing
2.45% say “other”, which is quite the leap from “almond” :p
