How Do You Pronounce Pecan?
Posted by wernuts2 on 16th Aug 2019
There is somewhat of a divide and debate when it comes to the proper way to pronounce the word pecan. Some say puh-kahn, while others stay true to pee-can. Where do you fall on this hot topic debate? Many people say that the proper pronunciation of this word is based on the Mason-Dixon Line. However, there was a poll conducted by the National Pecan Shellers Association about this very question, and approximately 45% of Southerners claim to pronounce it as pee-can while almost 70% of people living in the Northeast say the same thing.
What it really comes down to is the fact that pecan pie is one of the more popular pies and that should be all that really matters, right? Thanksgiving time in the South without a pecan pie is almost unheard of. With fall quickly upon us, it is also that time of the year where we find pecans in full force. So, while we may not be able to agree on the pronunciation, it is a popular consensus that pecans are definitely delicious and nutritious.
