I used to buy Zenobia nuts long before they were available at a web
site, many years before there was a web. Mostly I bought their
pistachios, but I bought their cashews too. I can't imagine anyone
wanting to pig out on cashews, they are okay for a handful, then they
are boring. But I can shell and consume five pounds of pistachios non
stop in one sitting, that's why I stopped buying them.
