And the word used was indeed "Queso", but there is no homophone for "Queso" that means ""stakes"".
About accent, sorry but i won't be able to help there, So far not only i myself am ignorant to "Country stereotype tropes and accents" but also all of my country from what i know, therefore, no indication Ratarang is italian. As an aside, i also didn't had any idea Ratarang was italian at all but only until it was explicitly pointed out in these threads, and that was until very recently, like a week or so ago.
