Pronunciation Challenges!

I'll use this forum as a thread to post pronunciation related challenges every now and then. I would like to see your participation. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions regarding speech SOUNDS, speech sound SYMBOLS or the Phonetic SPELLINGS.  A phonetic spelling or PHONETIC TRANSCRIPTION is actually the PRONUNCIATION of a WORD in the form of TEXT. If you know how to read the PHONETIC TRANSCRIPTIONS, you can tell the PRONUNCIATION of ALL THE WORDS listed in the DICTIONARY even without listening to the audio. It's that effective!

PRONUNCIATION CHALLENGE #1

Here's the menu from my favourite restaurant. Just kidding! Do you know the food items on the menu below based on their PRONUNCIATIONS? If you do, type out the WRITTEN WORDS! If you don't, try to learn them. It will be useful to you when you want to make an order the next time.
