[In The Defense of Liberty]

Ha! That is exactly what I thought when I read this.

You know, having been raised in the 50's and 60's by a very southern father, I didn't even know that a Brazil nut was even called a Brazil nut until after I went away to college! I just always thought that... ahem... *that*... was what they were called. I got so used to them being called *that* that I do have to be extra careful around my children, as it's obiously not something I want to pass on to my two boys.

I was so convinced that was what they are, that I couldn't eat them as a child-I still can't eat Lady Fingers.(I'm sorry Ladies; I apologize for my insensitivity....please don't sue me.)
