OT: Peanuts, Ground Nuts, and more....

[Guest guest]

All,

 

Just as an aside... peanut oil = ground nut oil .. How you ask?

 

Peanuts grow under the ground... and pea nuts are not " nuts " but

rather in the bean family known as " legumes " ...

 

Do some Google searches if you are interested... or find a good book

on food plant types....

Groundnut is the normal British English for peanut. For an

entertaining gloss on the theme " We're from the government, and

we're here to help you! " look up the Groundnut Scheme, and its

impact on the economic development of West Africa. Development

economist P. B. Bauer was very eloquent about that one.
