What the hell is this?

1. Let's get this straight: a PEE CAN is something you use when the toilet is broken.

It's a pe-CAHN. Dammit. No matter what Paula Deen says. :P

[NightWatcher]

3. I have tried and tried to study the proper pronunciation of this word and I cant solve it

It's not strictly regional, social level, or anything else.
My aunt (ant, not ahhnt) will be making a pe cahn pie while my other aunt will make a sugar free pea-can pie.

I just cant crack this one.

[mzteris]

11. there's a third pronunciation -

Pee-cahn' ("pee" with the accent plus the "cahn")

weird, I know . . .

Being originally from Georgia, I revert to "pee-can" most of the time, but if I'm thinking about it I try and say p'cahn. . .





edit: left out a word

[NightWatcher]

12. I'll use that tonight and really mess with their heads

13. how deep and how south?

"my people" are from around Fitzgerald and Ocilla. Some in Tiftonand Moultrie, too. And a whole damn lot in and around Macon (where I was bornd. . . lol)

[NightWatcher]

15. damn, not as deep as Tifton and Fitz, just Savannah

my parents are in Vidalia this AM heading in this afternoon

[Deep13]

6. Sure, people talk like Jed Clampet the rest of the time...

...but this one nut alone is blessed with a European, non-flat "A".

[Jamastiene]

35. I say Pee-can.

I love pee cans. :evilgrin:

[mzteris]

2. looks like someone's poor attempt

to make pecan pie. . .

[Twillig]

4. Looks like the piece of crap I bought at Fred Meyer's once.

WORST. PIE. EVER.

A gelatinous blob. wtf.

I buy from real bakery's now. (lazy)

[mzteris]

8. a bakery?

My momma'd roll over in her grave!!

She (and I) were born in Gawhjah, doncha know?

Sad thing is, no one in my family likes it here. My daughter does - and makes a mean pie, but she just married a guy who's allergic to nuts. :sigh: - I suppose momma's recipe is gonna die with us. :(

[Deep13]

7. +1 My wife's looks much better. nt

[NightWatcher]

10. HFS, I will be sure to post a propper pick of my aunt's pie tonight

(shivers) that ISNT what I meant.

Focus on the poll question. PEE can or Pa Cahn.

*hick* wanna fight about it

18. ummm, it's a Box O' Diabetes

aka Pray-leans

[GoCubsGo]

19. Pee-cahn pie.

And, somebody skimped on the pecans. It appears they over-handled/over-rolled the crust, too. It looks like it's tough, instead of flaky.

[Twillig]

20. Oth-ERRRRRRRRR!!

Pee-

[JohnnyLib2]

21. on the fence

Grew up pe-can, married into pecaaaahhhhhnn. In laws were in Mississippi and had pecahhhhhhn trees, so they win.

[HopeHoops]

23. Booger pie with turds on top.

More of a southern treat - red state thing.

[Kali]

24. looks like a poor quality lucite model of a piece of p'cahn pie

probably had to fake it because their fucking oven didn't work

[Mutley]

26. I say PEE-can.

[Odin2005]

27. puh-CAHN!!!

Or, to use IPA notation: pʰəˈkʰan

YUM!

[trof]

31. BINGO! It's 'puh'.

[conscious evolution]

28. dictionary.com says

hmmm.
nom nom nom

[astral]

30. It's definitely from the wrong grocery store

I'd bring it back for a refund.

[tigereye]

32. pee-kahn!

wish I had some!

[susanr516]

33. It's puh-CAHN

and that pie is a mass-produced, frozen farce.

[jmowreader]

34. It is an inedible thing

There are exactly eight kinds of pies out there:

Pie No. 1: Chocolate pudding pie. These are best if you fill the shell half full of coconut before you put in the pudding.
Pie No. 2: Banana cream pie. You can make this in one of two ways--make a good old-fashioned Southern-style banana pudding sans vanilla wafers, or make vanilla pudding and add sliced bananas to it.
Pie No. 3: Coconut cream pie. This one's really easy: vanilla pudding with a bag of coconut stirred into it.
Pie No. 4: Pumpkin pie. Requires REAL whipped cream. My wife LOVES Cool Whip on pumpkin pie. This is an atrocity and I hate it, but I love her so what are you gonna do?
Pie No. 5: Lemon meringue pie. Don't use boxed lemon pudding, it is far too tart.
Pie No. 6: Barack Obama pie. Same pie as No. 5, but using Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime Juice instead of lemon juice.
Pie No. 7: Fruit pies. All of them are good.
Pie No. 8: All those other sorry-ass excuses for pie you poor deluded individuals believe are edible, such as the thing in the picture in the OP.
