heh, right? we used to gamble on how many you'd get and ties just meant the pot got bigger!I remember vending machines, like gumball machines, that dispensed pistachios in bars.
heh, right? we used to gamble on how many you'd get and ties just meant the pot got bigger!I remember those pistachio machines in the stores in Istanbul in the fifties. The pistachios were pink and heavily salted and I loved them. I believe they were 10 kurush for a child size handful. I loved them. I was grown before I knew that pistachios were not naturally pink.
I think the red ones are more likely to be found along the east coast than the heartlands. I never see the red ones in the heartlands but I did see them back east a few years ago, and bought some.
I definitely like the red ones better. There is a difference in taste. Course now, even though they are mostly white, you can get them in different flavors such as spicy or garlic. I miss the red ones.
I remember those! I always thought they were gross!
Maybe I just dreamed this up, but for some reason I thought for a brief period many moons ago that I saw some pistachios were being colored white??
