Sheilaz Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I heard it's; o - bee - ose (as in hose) Although I'd been calling it "oh- bwah" for a while before I heard that. It's great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Oh gosh!! I want to go and get some tomorrow, but wasn't sure what to ask for! Maybe I'll go for 'O-bwah' and 'O-bee-ose'. I'm sure they'll know what I mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Play it safe Gina - ask for Hemcore as suggested above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 why not ask for Hemcore as Emma says and then if they say "we dont stock that" write down Aubiose on a bit of paper and show them and say "do you have this instead then?!"

Couperman Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Four Candles, NOOOOO, Fork handles!!! Got any hose, NOOO.................... Ask for French Hemcore. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I used to think it was 'oh-bwa' ... thinking the name had something to do with wood (bois). It is indeed from France, but it's actually spelt 'AuBIOse', as I realised on closer inspection. It's named after l'Aube, where it's produced. Technical pronunciation: 'oh-bee-ose' (as in 'au revoir', 'aupres de ma blonde', etc.) Do you reckon the feed merchant is a Frenchman? I'd go for 'Aw-bee-ose' as that's what most people seem to call it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 hopefully you will spot the bales on display and you can just point your finger and say "can I have a bale of that please" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I walked into the horsey supplies place and asked if o-bwah was a different price to Hemcore. Was told that the o-bee-oas was about 50p more. We understood each other, I think! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 hopefully you will spot the bales on display and you can just point your finger and say "can I have a bale of that please" Good idea. The bales are piled up right outside the farm shop. I'll just point at them! I'll ask how they prounounce it and see if I can add more suggestions to the list!

Egluntyne Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I call it "Or be ose" If it was "Or bwah" woudn't it be spelled Aubois(e) and not Aubiose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I love this thread..... My point is, how many suppliers wonder what on earth that stuff they have right there on the drive, more expensive than hemcore, and rougher too, should be pronounced as??? Aubiose.... oh- bj ( as in bjorn) - ose (as in hose without the H)... is how i would describe it without my phonetic symbols.... (what's the point of them if they are not known to everyone anyway) Sounds like something Shakespeare would argue about.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm going to start dropping the "h" in hemcore - it doesn't sound nearly exotic enough . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
