Fav snack food ??

I used to enjoy pistachios when I was a young man. But then they quit selling the red ones that I really enjoy, now they only come in brown.

You can still buy red pistachios, but they are hard to find. They really ought to taste the same. Long ago, Iran was the main exporter of pistachios and they dyed them red to cover the blemishes on them from their comparatively crude harvesting and drying process.

But exports from Iran were embargoed, and today, most of these nuts now come from California with no real need to dye them anymore to hide blemishes. Besides, that red stain was Red #40 which isn't so great for you, but you can still get them, especially during the holidays.

But if they really taste different, then I'd guess there must be some difference between the climate and soil of Iran compared to California.

  Cheetos are great too, but gave them up years ago when these little crackers hit the markets.
