Yes, DSC! You must pronounce the Pachino tomatoes "pakeeno", as you do in the word "keen"! When it comes to Al's surname, if you want to pronounce it the Italian way, you have to say Pacino, pronouncing the "ci" as you do in the word "cheese"!

In other words,

You spell Al's surname "Pacino" and pronounce it "Pacheeno"; you spell the tomatoes "Pachino" and pronounce it "Pakeeno" !

Sorry for the OT, but when it comes to this sort of things, I' can't resist!!!!

I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
