Pistachios

These pistachios were being left out to dry. I tried one and was taken aback at how rich and creamy the taste was.
"Oh yeah." I thought. "This is why somebody had the idea to make ice cream out of them."

It was like the first time I had fresh squeezed orange juice. I was a young teen and we were on vacation in Florida. I could never go back to frozen canned orange juice after that. I have had other similar experiences, like in Heidelburg when I had beer that came direct from the brewing process without ever being kegged or transported. Before that, I had never liked beer at all.
