>After the war the world became a smaller place and exotic foods suddenly flooded into Britain and Ireland ena masse

But Ireland already had palms (this is true, there are several parks in Irealnd with palms growing in them). Leading to the saying, "with fronds like these, who needs ena masse."

they have a fairly decent turnover....

Yup. Apple and cinnamon.


I wouldn't fritter away my time thinking up such stuff. I'm much more interested in French underwear. And I've long wondered why Porky Pig advocates feminine hygiene at the end of his cartoons. Have you noticed his closing with, "Bidet - bidet - that's all, folks?" Well, that's how it sounds to me...

What? Didn't you ever read Fitzgerald's story, Tender is The Nuts? And there used to be a painful security company called Whackanut, if I recall.

In Brazil, it's called castanha do Pará, after the Amazon-region state where the trees are most prevalent.

Here's a link on how Brazil nuts are harvested:

And yes, I also freeze all my nuts, unshelled, slivered or whatever.
