Speaking of white chocolate and nuts, white chocolate goes well
with hazelnuts. A woman whom I used to work with brought some
wc-h brownies to work, and they were divine. (I am not much of a
white chocolate fan either.)

And I forgot. I'd REALLY like to have hickory nuts again. I used
to sit on my second parents' back steps, smashing them with a
rock. They were REALLY good. One of the houses I looked at had a
pig nut (synonym) tree, and I meant to get a few nuts. I should
have been speedier, because the tree got chopped down a couple of
months ago.

One of our seasonal farm markets here has shelled (and unshelled)
hickory nuts every year. I'm sure you could find them online.

They really are a PITA to shell - I gathered some and shelled them for
my neighbor, whose husband wanted hickory nut cake, and my grandpa's
farm had hickory trees.....it took forever.

Yes, I do recall that it was rather hard to pry the meat out,
which is probably why they aren't a huge commercial success. But
the meats are so sweet and good.
