Holiday snack: pickled cashews


As a companion piece to today’s Price Point taste test of cashews, we have the recipe for pickled cashews from Angelo’s 677 Prime in Albany. A new addition to 677 Prime’s bar menu, the cashews are sweet, spicy and nutty asa result of being pickled in an eclectic mixture incorporating vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, the Southeast Asian chile sauce called sambal and other seasonings.

    Why do that to perfectly good cashews?

    What would happen if most or all of the sugar were left out?

    Wow. Surprised that a certain someone didn’t jump down Steve’s throat for the error (asa). He does this to everyone else who makes mistakes since in his world, mistakes never happen…Anyway, the nuts sound delicious.

      So I suppose you can’t be referring to the someone that, in a single comment posted December 20, made *five* mistakes in juxtaposing quotation marks vis-a-vis other punctuation marks!

      Apparently Steve hasn’t TOTALLY suppressed the uppitiness in this blog.

      If anyone thinks I’m going to search out all comments I made on 12/20, they’re living in a dream world. Quote it or forget it.

      As far as Steve’s comment goes, I recognize a totally harmless and trivial typo when I see it. That’s NOT what I go after.

      Try reading Carl Strock’s blog some time, people. He will, sooner or later, let you know what sort of boo-boos bug him. I move in pretty much the same pattern.

      Most of the “uppithiness” in this blog comes from a certain someone…
