So would that be a ~~fortnight~~ overmorrow?
Arguably, it could still just mean tomorrow, given that today was yesterday's tomorrow. As every day is a tomorrow, the next tomorrow is just tomorrow
time is silent here. See you next time tomorrow.
How do I subscribe?
Know nut November Day #7 - What nut is this?
Fortune cookies
Pili nut?
Ding ding ding - we've got our winner for today. Thank you very much for participation. :)
If you want to post another one tomorrow you are welcome to do so on [email protected]. Maybe we can make this a thing!
Wow I’m impressed. I consider myself a bit of a nut expert but I have never heard of this one. You really know your stuff.
Or you used computer vision and know nothing.
It was honestly just dumb luck. I had heard of these previously from a friend who had some in the Philippines. I would say, really, I do know nothing about nuts, relatively speaking :)
A friend is getting married there next year. I'll have to keep an eye out so I can try them.
These nuts are indeed not really popular but I found them in a regular supermarket in Germany a couple of years ago. As someone mentioned they're typically almost impossible to crack, so each nut already had a small canal sawed into the side and the box came with a metal lever that exactly fits into said canal. With that preparation it was quite easy to open them.
You can also buy them online prepared that way. E.g. here: https://mypilinut.com/de/products/noix-de-pili-en-coque-seau-xxl-2900g (I don't know this shop, it was just the first result on Google, so no clue if it's a fair price).
Round #2
Green almonds, right?
See you next tomorrow
big garlic
this is a particularly cruel picture for day #7. this level of difficulty should be reserved for the final days of the month
There you go - challenge #7b just for you:
oh fuck i wasn’t prepared for this. but this one feels way more fair.
my gut tells me walnut
Ding ding ding - congratulations, you got it. :) You're officially the winner #7b!
Should have made it more challenging:
(Pro tip: do NOT handle black walnut without gloves - your hands will be stained for weeks.)
Should have made it more challenging
I wanted to use the heart-shaped walnut picture to cheer him up. Share some love when you nut your bros. <3
Lime nut? 🍋🟩 🥜
When my neighbor first noticed them I thought they were fruit.
Google lens suggested a thousand things that were not what it was. Japanese this, or Indian that.
It does smell very much like citrus, though.
The flesh is tough and yellow but almost immediately turns dark brown. So it was too late when I noticed my fingers had stained.
Limey nut would be an appropriate name for it.
Black walnut is a weird thing.
Wait those are walnuts??
Yes, but not normal walnuts, black walnuts. What most people think of as walnuts, at least where I'm from, come from the Persian/English walnut tree, Juglans Regia.
Those are, indeed, walnuts.
And what nut is this?
A: Trick question, it's a legume!
Explain how that is beans
Mostly they're dried, including pod, the rest is genetics.
They are botanically nuts, though: They are indehiscent, meaning they do not open to release their seeds. They're also fruit. It's e.g. pine nuts which aren't nuts because pine cones do indeed open and release the seeds. Of which you should roast a couple and mush up with a wee bit of garlic, a metric pound of basil, some salt, some proper hard cheese, and quantum satis good olive oil. Use a mortar the basil wants to get squeezed, pre-chop everything or you're going to be there forever. Throw your pasta, shape is not that important as long as it's bronze-cut, into a pan at lowish heat, put your pesto on top, add some of that pasta water (incl. the starch in there), the saponids in the garlic will help with emulsifying everything. Reduce very carefully you don't want to denature the cheese.
I guess making a distinction, in the culinary context, between nuts and peanuts makes sense because allergy considerations, legumes are a class of their own there.
I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.
I had heard people talking about this but never knew what it was. Is there a link?
Would filbert also be an acceptable answer?
The only answer...
