I wanted to flag your pronunciation as offensive, but I realize that, while it is patently incorrect, is probably only offensive to Southerners, particularly Georgia folks, who grow these things for the rest of the world.

It's peh-cahn. A pea-can is the the old empty can of Maxwell House with the lid that mom used to keep in the back seat of the family station wagon when you were a kid, because your folks refused to stop on the side of the road. You can't mean that you want to make a pie out of that... do you?

eeeew!! Thanks for sending us
