| Why are peanuts called nuts when they're really a legume? |
|
And why aren't cashews called nuts, when they really are a nut? Same goes for almonds!
Why damn it, why? :cry:

| 2. Oooh ... I just remembered I have some cashews in the kitchen ... |

Thanks. I'm in the mood for some munchies and I didn't know what to have. :toast:
About the names:
I can't explain cashew or almond, but I'm pretty sure no one would eat something called a pea-legume. ;-)
