Hey, Bill.  Almond extract is made from bitter almonds (sweet almonds are
what most folks are familiar with) which is a source of prussic acid. A
certain % (I don't remember the amount) of the acid has to be removed
before the extract is used for cooking or flavoring amaretto, etc.  However,
unleached bitter almonds are used in marzipan for the really traditional
Italian marzipan (1 bitter to 100 sweet).  So cyanide is in fact in almond
extract, ie. almond flavoring unless you buy the artificial stuff.

At anyrate, the almond smell comes from the cyanide.

Now, just for musings, if it is wiggle that causes the smell, how come
almond is one of those odors/smells that some folks don't smell?  Are they
"immune" to wiggle?
