"W" is a vowel, in certain circumstances!  I cite "GrammerGirl" - if that is not an authoritative source, I don't know what is.

bleu cheese - twofer

And by the way, I looking to soon have a Hoho again.

But....but....this is what GrammerGirl the Authoritative Source said in the fine print:


So to sum up, the only time you can truly say that W represents a vowel is in those rare Welsh borrowings, such as "cwm." Y, on the other hand, gets to represent a vowel in many more words. It represents short I in words like "gym," and either short I or long E in words like "happy." It represents a diphthong in words like "by."

In my professional guestimation, you and Cindy are both guilty of making posts that contain no food ending with a vowel. I'm calling Shenanigans, everyone get your brooms!

Tapioca.

"Truly" is a weasel word.

Panang Curry with brown rice and garnished with cilantro.

Many words have W for a vowel, such as awe, bow, cow, dew, ewe, few gew-gaw, hew, jaw, known, lawn, maw, now, owe, pew, raw, sew, tow, vow, wow and yawn.

However, in these cases, the W is only technically a vowel, because it contributes a vowel sound, as would the letter U, from which it originates. Some words, especially Welsh, use the W as the primary vowel, much as Y is used in English. One example is the word "cwm" (valley).

Puns like that make me ...  "howel"?

Pu-pu platter

Way back when, me and my buddy would stop some evening on our commute home after work, and get pu-pus at the Poo-Ping Palace in Tujunga.  Now, I know you are going to say, "Jamie, you are so full of it!"  But I have photographic evidence ...
