I usually hear it as coming close to rhyming with Ted Nugent's surname.

It's a remora, dimwit.

somewhere between noo-git and noo-gat. :)
And now I still have a candybar craving. But YAY for finding out that next time I'm in NYC I can go find a deepfried bar! WOOHOO!!!

I can't muster up any enthusiasm whatsoever for a deep-fried candy bar. Ugh.
Do you (Aussies) really pronounce it "noo-gah" over here? Weird. But you also pronouce "fillet" as "fill-it"!

Guess what I learned on the radio this morning?
There exist Mary Sue Candies.
Of course, I thought of the Buffistas.
I've been extensively briefed by canadians about the Rightness of Smarties. Too bad I'm not a major fan of chocolate.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've had Smarties, but I prefer M&Ms.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've passed by A Salt and Battery plenty of times. (They're next to Tea and Sympathy (and I think owned by the same people), which is the only place I've found in NYC to get good clotted cream.) Deep fried chocolate bars scare me slightly, though.

Yes. Well, at least that's how I pronounce it, and I don't remember getting any strange looks.
But you also pronouce "fillet" as "fill-it"!
Yes, amazing and contradictory, that's us!

When I consider deep fried chocolate bars, I just think that pretty soon they're going to be deep frying everything from cherries to bacon to french fries to stuff that's already been deep fried.

It's also how I'd pronouce it.
But you also pronouce "fillet" as "fill-it"!
And me too. So not, apparently, a wholely Aussie thing. And while my accent is fairly confused at times, it isn't Australian, as far as I can tell.

Same here Kate, but that's more because I'm not much into candy bars, especially mars bars. I used to blech at the idea of the deep fried ones but that was more because in Oz the deep fried ones are often sold at fish'n chip/hamburger shops so it was more the thought of all the fishy oil for frying. But Asian cuisine often has deep fried sweet things, such as deep fried ice-cream balls (with a caramel centre) which I have made myself a few times, so the concept is much the same.

Yep to the noo-gah, but I pronounce fillet as fill-lay.
Edit to say that could be 'cos of the chef stuff.
