Dana Carvey also does "Chopping Broccoli," which seems relevant here. |

I know it has 3 syllables, but I usually say it with 2.

Two.
West coast of Canada. Also pronounce vegetable with three. |
3 syllables for broccoli. PNW.
I had someone argue with me about my pronunciation of mule. I use 2 syllables and she uses one. I can't even say "mule" with only one syllable! The same person says "strypt" for striped. I say it with 2 syllables. She's from Baltimore, if that explains anything. |
This sounds crazy and could be it's own spin-off. Mule/Striped have one syllable for me. I get that you are probably saying mew-el like a southern accent (they can even draw out the word 'you' to 2-3 syllables) but I have no idea how you'd pronounce striped with two syllables. |
There was no mention of broccoli in my part if the world until 2000's. We just say it as we heard it as adults on TV, with two syllables. |

Highly relevant. I’m from Minnesota and say brah-co-lee, not because that’s the regional way of saying it, but because of Dana Carvey. |

Same. From Seattle. I say Broc -uh -lee |
No. New Englanders are too classy to order "beef and broccoli". We're too busy with our relish trays and martinis. |
