We English speaker are no better.

I spent most of my youth living in Alameda (a very small island next to Oakland), which has a Versailles St. It is, naturally, pronounced as “Ver-say-ulls” by all and sundry and they become beet-red furious if you say “Ver-sigh”.

just use your normal voice when pronouncing things, you wouldn’t pronounce the name of a band in the accent of the singer so why do this with a food or place from another country

Although I knew a few northerners who’d say Supergrass in the southern way because they felt that was the ‘right’ way to say the band.

that’s just silly

Should be pronounced in a northern Irish accent as that’s where the word supergrass came from tbh
