How Do You Spell PARFRY?

Pronunciation: [pˈɑːfɹi] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "parfry" remains a topic of debate. It appears to be a variant of "parfait", a dessert comprised of layers of ice cream, fruit and syrups. However, unlike "parfait", "parfry" lacks a clear French origin that may explain its pronunciation. The IPA phonetic transcription for "parfry" suggest it is a homophone of "par fry", a cooking technique of shallow-frying items while still partially frozen. Despite its unclear origin and spelling, "parfry" continues to be used informally by some as a variation of "parfait".
