You've never had Baklava with pistachio. It's the best. I did a search for baklava
recipes and most of the first ones that came up called for walnuts. Then I got some
that said almonds or a mixture of walnuts and almonds. I went through quite a few
before I started finding them with pistachios. Maybe it is not a Greek tradition to
use them, but I have had baklava or a close relative of it in Lebanese restaurants and
stores and they usually have pistachios. It's way better than walnut, also better than
pecan.

Lucky you. They don't grow here and they are expensive to buy.
