Even in my trendy greengrocer's, I do not see green almonds. I might take me a trip down to the Bondi Fruitologist on Bondi Road. They have a large Russian/East European immigre population there which might increase the demand. Shall have to work out my seasons - or just ask the chaps on the counters. Thanks for the link, yet again.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759219732071327415.post-12517153539629503922011-07-02T13:49:08.976+03:002011-07-02T13:49:08.976+03:00It's fascinating to see the different foods an...It's fascinating to see the different foods and customs in other countries. I remember being surprised when I went to New Guinea to find the people there ate their mangos green, like apples.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759219732071327415.post-45404945150917699402011-07-02T06:56:16.320+03:002011-07-02T06:56:16.320+03:00Julie, I found a link for you that describes how t...Julie, I found a link for you that describes how they're eaten (differs from one culture to the next and depends on how ripe the green almond is. . . .

Do you eat that furry cover as well? This photo is a bit deceptive with regard to size which I am gathering to be the size of a normal almond, ie small.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759219732071327415.post-32803688180476178042011-07-01T15:39:21.069+03:002011-07-01T15:39:21.069+03:00I would love to try these Mary Ann, have a fab vac...I would love to try these Mary Ann, have a fab vacation.PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759219732071327415.post-6029463614376583312011-07-01T14:56:03.427+03:002011-07-01T14:56:03.427+03:00You are braver than I am.
