I just love that headline 😂. This is the type of opinion I live for.

Long-covid is still really messing with people's sense of taste, clearly.

No. Peanuts are legumes & taste completely different.

Might be worth getting someone who has taste buds to do this kind of thing. 'Grapes are big peas arent they?!'

Pistachios have a milder and more complex taste, while peanuts have a bolder and more savoury flavour. They also have completely different textures. This is akin to saying that paprika is an upmarket curry powder. Plus, pistachio ice cream is the food of the gods.

I had to keep checking that this pointless drivel wasn’t written by Rod Liddle or Clarkson. Next week Emma rails against the blueberry smoothie & kale.
