Remarks

This nut stand has brought me so much joy. Maybe I just haven't seen them anywhere else, but this lady sells pieces of coconut. And it's $2 a bag. And it's just so good. I'm not even a big coconut person.

I think the problem with a lot of other candied nuts is that they're too sweet. But these are big chunks, so the surface area to volume ratio is down, and so it's just right. They're these warm, meaty chunks, and they're so juicy when you bight into them. And the cross section is just beautiful.

This and an espresso, it's really all you need in life.

Btw I checked and although it's advertised as "honey granules" to cook them in, she said it's really just sugar and water.

Also caviat, if they're not warm they're not as good. And it's just an unknown when you get there.

Last sampled 13th December 2021.
