In case you didn’t know this but the Pecan Tree is the State Tree of Texas. So as a Texan I tend to favor the flavor of this sweet nut. Just like anything some people like them and some don’t. Just about all nuts have a place on my table, but the Pecan is my favorite and there is no debate about that. Speaking of debat. The real debat is how to pronouce it. Pee-Can or Pa-Kahn?
