“It’s regional. In North Carolina, it's "pee-cans." If you go to Georgia, Alabama down there, it’s "p-cans" and it takes me about twenty minutes to start saying p-cans down there,” Bunn said.

I pronounce the letter P like "pee," so in both of those examples I would say "pee cans."

Quote :

"Etymology and pronunciation "Pecan" is from an Algonquian word, meaning a nut requiring a stone to crack.[15] The pronunciation of pecan is a source of friendly dispute among aficionados. Some people say [p?.'k?n], while others say ['pi?.kæn]. Most Southerners pronounce the word as "peh-kahn". Since Spanish explorers were the first Westerners to discover this nut, in the 1600s, the word may have well taken on this pronunciation from the Spanish vowels (e=eh, a=ah). This pronunciation would have been prevalent in the New Orleans, La. area with its heavy Spanish/French populations."

I'm from Louisiana and I say it both ways, but most of my family says puh-khan

11/24/2008 9:09:37 AM

its puh-khan. if you say pee-can you should not be allowed to breed.

11/24/2008 9:19:12 AM

Pee-can is obviously the only correct way to say it. Anyone who pronounces it otherwise is an idiot.
