Undeclared pecans! In Georgia no less!
Puh-CAHNS.
That’s how they say it in New Orleans at a praline maker on Royal Street, and also on a radio ad currently playing, from a pecan grower in Georgia trying to sell holiday gift packs.
So, I’m gonna go with it as the true and correct way to say it.
Where’s the Spotted Dick Sponge go?...
That's the way we say it in Texas too. I almost barf when I hear some folks pronounce it "PEE CANS".
In the hole with the beans and toad...
I was born in Alabama and from nine months was raised in Georgia and I have always said Puh-CAHNS. Im my opinion, PEA-Cans is a Yankee pronation. As a disclaimer, by Southern parents spent a few years in their youth away from the South during The Great Depression, Arizona for my Dad and Wyoming for my Mother, so YMMV, or rather their’s, whatever.
And yes, I didn’t proof this. Sorry.
Really they are recalling them because they forgot to put ballots in for Ossoff and Warnock. They need to recall those that had Perdue and Loeffler ballots in it... 😀
