MY NOTE: Pine nuts are very expensive, about 5 times the cost of shelled
sunflower seeds in the bulk bin. They do not have a very strong flavor.

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?”

~ Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)
