Given that it's Chocolate Pecan Pie Day today.

Chatting with my brother, whose fiancee is from the USA about the pronunciation of "pecan". He said he's *never* heard an American pronounce it PEEcan. Only ever PeCAHN.

So with that in mind, US friends, how do *you* say it?

Elaborate in comments with the state you live/grew up in if you're comfortable doing that.

I think he'll find the results fun and informative.
