i work in a restaurant in georgia that serves both. i hear tom-may-toe and tom-mah-toe but always pot-tay-toe...that's because the british customers i have seem to enjoy calling them "hash browns" not "hashbrowns" like it's suppose to be but 2 different distinct words.

Yum, hashbrowns . . . :licklips:

Scattered, smothered, diced, and covered, please, ma'am . . .
 
To-mah-toes and po-tay-toes... but I am British...

Never heard po-tah-toes before... well... from anyone not trying to lighten the mood in kitchen at Christmas!!!

Hence the very popular perjorative "chowdah-head." For some reason, people from the greater Bah-stun area seem to take offense. :shrug:

This reminds me of my brother's cellphone answering machine message

"Hey, you've reached your's trully, I'm out gettin' a herosandwich and maybe a soda. So, call back and leave a message and if ya don't you can go right back to Jersey where ya came from...chowdah-head!"
