I have heard it pronounced "Tor-tay" and "Tort".
Is it a cultural thing or is one pronunciation correct?
Thank you for all of your thoughts and opinions, I wasn't sure which catagory...This seemed the most appropriate.

Tort. It's french, so the trailing e is silent.

Hey Annie,
If you are referring to the Dessert or Appetizer from Europe (Not Spain) then it is:
TORT
If you are referring to the Mexican or Spainish Sandwhich, then it is:
TORT - a (The a is pronounced as in massage)
Hope this helps,
