2002oct23. Nut Mail VI.
Once at a wedding reception I was introduced to a dessert named Chess Pie. It is basically Pecan Pie with NO pecans in it. (i.e. It is good.) It was created by scientists to do battle with pecan pie on the streets of Tokyo.

This is how all nut-violated dessert should be. You would buy pistachio nut ice cream, and there would be a big burst on the package that said “CONTAINS NO NUTS” and also “PRODUCED IN A FACILITY THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A NUT IS.”
Dear Mr. Whiney McWhinerton (aka Lookit Me – I’ve Got Wacky Food Hangups – Check out how WEIRD I am!), What do you care if a cook wants to sneak in nuts or not? This isn’t some big conspiracy to “freak you out.” It’s not all about YOU, ya know. and – it’s not an east coast thing - the peanuts in the peanut sauce, we have it here in Oregon too, where we LOVE hard things in soft things ...

Thanks for the “head’s up,” Tastee. I will avoid Oregon in the future!
