Adventures in Pronunciation

Them: “Hi. Where’s the Valley Jew Church?”
Me: “...beg pardon?”
Them: “I need the Valley Jew Drive Church.”
Me: “Say, you know that Mexican dish with tortillas, and spicy meat that they serve you still in the pan with peppers and onions and stuff?”
Them: “What?”

Them: “Yes.”
Me: “What’s that called? A faaaaaa-what?”
Them: “A fajeeta.”
Me: “Righto. The VALLEJO DRIVE Church is that way.”
