[Aunt Marg]

"PEA-cans" for me.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I live in PEA-can country.

 

[RadishRose]

Yes, in the north it seems to be PEA-cans.
I think in the south it's Pea-CAHNs

 

[Pink Biz]

Pea-CONS make for an excellent pie or tart during the holiday season.

 

[Furryanimal]

Pea cans

 

[jujube]

Puh-cons for me.

 

[gennie]

Yes, in the north it seems to be PEA-cans.
I think in the south it's Pea-CAHNs

Exactly.

 

[asp3]

I'm a puh-CONS guy myself. Someone once told me that a pea can was a protapotty and that's what I think of whenever someone says the word that way.

 

[Gaer]

Is this an East Coast/ West Coast thing?
potato---pata tahto, rodeo---rodah o, tomato---tomahto? never--- neveah?

 

[PamfromTx]

Pehhh-conssss here.

 

[Judycat]

P'cons

 

[Butterfly]

puh-cons here. It's what I've always called them. My family came from the south.

 

[win231]

It depends what part of the country you're from.
I heard Tammy Wynette say "PuhCON" log on a show.

 

[MarciKS]

pi con here

 

[Robert59]

I would love to eat a pecan pie but can't because it is almost 100% sugar. My BG would go up 600 or 1000 which would kill me.

 

[wcwbf]

and as an add-on... candy made from pea-CANS. first trip from PA to FL (early 60s)... NO highways, counting signs for South of the boerd and Burma Shave. first sign for those candy patties... my grandmother demanded dad stop.

were they PRAY-leens or PRAW-leens or something else?

 

[MarciKS]

pray leens here

 

[Aunt Marg]

I'm a puh-CONS guy myself. Someone once told me that a pea can was a protapotty and that's what I think of whenever someone says the word that way.

If my hunch is correct, then you're a "Grey-Puhpuuhn" kind of guy as well?

 

[Gary O']

P'cohns for me

However it's pronounced......I'm thinking pie

Now

 

[asp3]

If my hunch is correct, then you're a "Grey-Puhpuuhn" kind of guy as well?

Nope, I hate mustard, but I love my Viognier with my Dungeness crab so I'd probably be a Grey Poupon if I did like mustard.

 

[fmdog44]

y'all, you people, you folks, you guys
ketchup, catsup
hot dogs, wieners, red hots, tube steaks

i kinda compare pecan pie to Amish country (Lancaster pa) shoo fly pie with nuts!?

 

[Tish]

Its Pecan this way.
