SC - Pine nuts

[Karen Evans]

>>>>>>>>
?. Are we talking the same product here? The pine
nuts I have are  oblongish,
with a pointy end and are rather oily with a
distinctive resin taste on the
finish.

Could be the difference in species.  When I visited my grandmother in
Arizona, we would always find places that sold locally-collected wild
pine-nuts, or pi~non as they are called there.  I found them buttery,
and almost irresistible.  Perhaps the ones you have tasted have not
traveled well.  I have noticed in the stores here in Oklahoma that the
pine-nuts available are imported from Italy. They do have enough
natural fats in them to go rancid after too long a time.
