Are there two peanuts at the party? If so, why is the shelled one as tall as the unshelled one (who’s a double)? If not, that what IS the tall tan one? (the only other nut I can think of that could look like that is certain other acorns, and then there are two again). He’s too skinny for a macadamia*.
Actually, he’s the only shelled one there, is he streaking?
Plus, fairly few people would know what a macadamia in the shell would look like. Ditto a cashew (which is probably why he isn’t there.)
I think we may be largely off the periodical cicada range. We get the annual kind (military camo colors, black eyes) but I can’t seem to recall ever seeing the orange kind in person (Dad says there was one bad year a very long time ago, but it must have been too early for me to remember).
There’s actually a soup I bumped into in Chinatown that almost looks like the cat’s drink. It has a lot of dried shrimp in it, and the base soup is so thick that, if you get it in a takeout container, the shrimp really do look like they are swimming in place (I think it was some sort of Fuzhou region soup.)
To be fair, there is SOME mortadella I have found that is reasonably tasty (Smoking Goose makes a pretty good one.) But yeah, on the whole I prefer drier forms of charcuterie.
Oh yeah, forgot about those.
