They are my preferred nut for making pesto.
I seldom use pine nuts, especially after having
a very bad food reaction. The only new foods
I had tried that day were some cheap Chinese
pine nuts and some American-made Vietnamese-style
chili sauce. Honestly, I think it was the chili sauce,
but you know how easily people can develop aversions
to foods when they get sick.
