When You Go Down To The South

Pih-KAHN

I never travelled much in the southeastern US until some business trips when I was in my 30's. Stopped in a diner near an Alabama pecan orchard, asked for a slice of Pee-CAN pie. They were nice enough to explain that a Pih-KAHN is a nut, a Pee-CAN is something else. All those years of pronouncing it wrong... :)

There's different ways of pronouncing it
