In the Northeast, everyone I've ever heard, says "Pea-cans".

Re: What Do They Call This Nut In Your Area?

Interestingly, I was just watching an episode from this year's "Great British Baking Show" and was reminded that most Brits say "peek-uns" or even "peek-un nuts." One of the contestants was joking that he was making something fancy, so he was going to use the "posh" pronunciation of "pe-CAHNS" instead.  Smiley Very Happy

@loriqvc   Hmmm.  That's funny!  They are "carmels" to me too.  But I say "carmel" sauce.

Interesting thread - thanks @Kachina624!

 

 

 I grew up in Georgia. I have always said "puh-KONS."

 

 

DH, from the northeast, says "PEA-cans." It drives me crazy!  Smiley Wink

CT here.  Those are definitely Pee-Cans.  If I ever said Pah-Conns in public, I'd get some pretty strange looks.  Like maybe I'm having a stroke?  😆
