A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

Go to Fortaleza, Brazil.

They sell cashew EVERYWHERE. Stands by the beach will have giant sacks filled with cashews. Restaurants have cashew juice. Supermarkets have cashew jam, candy, concentrate, cakes, baked goods, Sodas... All dirt cheap.

After that trip, I think I had my fill of cashews. Now I barely eat it.

10/10 trip.

Cashew juice? My brain can't process how it might taste.

If you aren't familiar with how cashews grow, it'll blow your mind. They look like this


That top part is called the cashew apple. It's edible and apparently tastes pretty good. It doesn't ship very well so people outside the area where they grow don't usually experience them. I'm guessing the juice comes from that.

Oh wow, I was not aware of that. That's a shame. I'll keep this in mind whenever I travel somewhere it grows! Thank you for the info.

[–] Tore@piefed.world 2 points 6 days ago

That is correct. From what I remember, the fruit is very astringent and has a very small window of being ripe and sweet to eat before it goes sour, which limits transportation and export. But you might find juice concentrate in your local Latin American shop.

they likely grow it commercially there.

[–] Tore@piefed.world 2 points 6 days ago

Yep, they do. The state of Ceará (where Fortaleza is in) is the major Brazilian cashew producer. It's a beloved fruit that has much more to offer than the nut itself.

That trip would be the end of me! But probably worth it.

[–] Tore@piefed.world 3 points 6 days ago

It absolutely is worth it!

Have a whole day dedicated to cashews. Have some cashew juice with toast and cashew jam for breakfast, then go to the cashew museum in Fortaleza, eat the fruit, the nut, have some cashew liquor, ice cream, cashew nut bread...

That's how I realised I had my fill. I came back home several pounds heavier but I was worth it.
