Georgia is the leading producer of pecans, a native American tree nut. @RPMdawg in @donm 's Day OP (cannot embed) wants the pronunciation to be PEE can (long e, he says). I learned it as pe KAHN. I've also heard it a Pee kin. We'll forget the last one. Let's see what you got.
Indicate if you're from the Albany area in your comment por favor.

There's no debate. You throw trash in a can not kahn
unless you are from Bah-ston.
“Pee-can pie” pe-Kahn as standalone...don’t ask ???
Being born and raised in the South, my Grand Dad used to say, " Never trust anyone that calls a 'pee can' a 'pe-kahn' "........
We know it is pronounced pee can but do not spell it different than pecan. We know that we pronounce it right.
Pee can.
The only people I know who say PEE-can are Hollywood actors in movies about the South made by people who don't know anything about the South.
According to the just released census of agriculture Georgia is easily the #1 in pecan production. What we say goes. Mama not even on the charts.
anyone ever have autocorrect change bama to Mama?
PEE KAHN - no emphasis on either syllable.
I’m from California and I thought it was pretty interchangeable. My wife is southern through and through (been on the same land here in Lawrenceville for 200 years) and says pee-can, so I’ll defer to her on this one.
Good choice for 2 reasons. the least of which is it's the right pronunciation
Have heard it called both ways all my life by Southerners, mainly in Georgia and Alabama. One thing is for sure, if it's made right, I will not turn down the pie whichever way they pronounce it.
It is not only the best southern dessert but likely the best dessert that exists
My mama would NOT be happy about that.
