Enlighten us on the correct pronunciation.

It's a French word. Proper spelling is étouffée. The accent above the two e's requires an "ay" pronunciation. That's pretty much it.

Et-too-Fay is as lame as saying coo-chon instead of co-chon, or pee-row instead of lightly pronouncing the g in pirogue. Sad that we're losing our French accents....
