I wish it was a delicasy here but no it's not.<BR/><BR/>I used dip in salt and crunch away. I wish I had some now. It's actually a little late for them now as the best time would be real early spring. So I guess I'll have to wait until next year!San Francisco Photoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354842528242609236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1148759827888778572006-05-27T12:57:00.000-07:002006-05-27T12:57:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.San Francisco Photoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354842528242609236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1148159230706797772006-05-20T14:07:00.000-07:002006-05-20T14:07:00.000-07:00Aha!

He's wrong! :D<BR/>Actually, they are unripe almonds, still in their fuzzy pods. When grown-up almonds are ready to go to market, they must be popped out of this pod (or maybe they fall out, I don't know), but while the pods are young, they're tender enough to slice.<BR/>The taste is really surprising: a little apple, a little lemon. No unpleasant "unripe" taste.<BR/>Real snacky.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1148076750976750072006-05-19T15:12:00.000-07:002006-05-19T15:12:00.000-07:00Yeah, gotta be olives.
