One man's trash

Thursday, January 29, 2009
Once, when visiting France, I was walking down the sidewalk when I noticed a bunch of pistachios scattered beneath a tree. I had never eaten pistachios before and didn't know they were native to France, but I figured they must taste best when they're fresh so I should probably try some. I picked up a handful and started eating them as I continued my walk. It was a sunny summer day and I felt happy about life. Here I was, exploring a new country, enjoying its beautiful scenery, and snacking on its native fruit straight from the tree. Suddenly I realized that I was actually having an altogether different experience than I thought...


...the pistachios were salted.

Amazing that the pistachios come straight off the trees salted. Mother nature sure is amazing, ain't it?
