Cashew nuts are actually seeds.
We have cashew nut trees in the garden. The nut is not entirely encased in the fruit, which when ripe looks a bit like a small red plum, but sort of hangs out of the bottom of it. The fruit is acidic to the touch, so gloves should be worn when extracting the nuts, one nut per fruit, which is probably why they are expensive. Definitely a seed, though....

I didn't know know this recently, stayed in a place with cashew trees. At first wondered what the horrible smell was.

The actual quote is 'The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.' However I didn't attribute it to Baudelaire as my version is nonsensical to fit the thread.

Ooops


In Thailand, they drive on the left. A guy I met in a transit lounge in Kuala Lumpur lied to me about this in 1993.
