      Peanuts are legumes/nut-esque peas and cashews are fruit from a biological perspective, sure, but like the claim that strawberries, raspberries and blackberries aren’t berries, but bell peppers and bananas are, it’s just a case of the “official” definition being wrong rather than the average person

      As a kid we would add milk, heat in up in the microwave and top with honey. Not much crunch this way though.

        I liked to mix them half and half with granola, then add milk and microwave.

      They can also pave a 4-lane freeway in North Korea.

    They’re called that because they are the size of grape seeds. Why anyone thought that made them appealing is beyond me. Grape nut flakes are pretty good though

      I thought it was because the guy who invented them called glucose “grape sugar” because cereal people in that era were entirely detached from reality, and he thought they tasted nutty. And that baking the cereal released glucose.

      Oh, well that makes perfect sense. Wait, no it doesn’t. I don’t call lemon seeds Lemon Nuts.

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard of grape jam. Usually I have them with strawberry jam, and I guess raspberry jam would work just as well too.
