well since we haven't established whether to use filberts or hazel nuts, in this country, and while we spell pecan
we are not sure how we say it..(is it pea can or Pa cahn?) and brazil nuts are the nuts we import from brazil..

they might have almost no name (local nuts) or they might have an intesting name..in portugues or a native brazil language.

can you get them in ireland now? they where a total new nut to my parents (who left dublin post WWII) wedge shaped, dark, almost black shell, some what rough, and ridged. and the nut inside is creamy, rich, and mildly flavored. they are larger than a peanut, and do not readily split (like say peanut or cashews or pistashcios.
