We were talking about the "Texas translation" of cetain words relating to food and holidays.
In Texas . . . we don't say "Pecan" . . . most us say "Be-con."
At least I do.
And it may be spelled "Pumpkin" . . . but most of us 'true" Texans prounce it at "Punkin".
I don't know what we do with the missing "m" and "p".
Sure hope we have some "Be-con" pie and "Punkin" pie for Christmas.
Don't ask me what we call "fruitcake." You don't want to know.
I'm doing better than I deserve! And that's a good thing. ><>
