At my job there this almond flavored coffee pods that when brewed smelled overwhelmingly almond-y. My cousin works in metal reclamation an they work with a LOT of cyanide, I tell him if he ever wants the day off, I'll get him a pod, all he needs to do is spill that coffee and they'd shut down the entire floor to double check things.
(context if you're lost is that cyanide smells a lot like almonds)
Fun fact, wild almonds have lethal amounts of cyanide, it's only through selective breeding that we can eat them
Who the hell thought, “OK, so it killed Bill, but I think there’s something here. We just need to keep trying.”
Because almonds are tasty as fuck. As long as someone else is testing the new strains that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Also, everything gets taste tested during a for real famine.
I imagine wild almonds probably taste like burning
I don't really think almonds taste good imo. They're pretty bland to me.
You are entitled to your own opinion irrespectivly of how wrong it is.
fair enough haha
I'm not a big fan of almonds by themselves, but I love almond butter, almond milk, and roasted almonds.
The nuts are bunk, but the extract is where it's at!
