growing in southern brazil, i enjoyed very much the
boiled pine nuts of the native araucarias, that you
could buy off street vendors.  they were big and
yummy, boiled simply with salt.  i miss them.  i
wonder if anyone grows them outside brazil?  are other
species nuts edible?

new caledonia is an amazing botanical paradise, isn't
it?  there's an aquatic conifer there that grows in
swamps and lakes (a Podophyllum relative, i think?).
