    So if in the 80s I lived in an area that didn’t import them already, say, Fresno, the joke would go over my head? Because I sure as hell don’t remember red pistachios

      Holy shit you are pinning my exact experience. I grew up in Fresno CA and have never even seen a red pistachio in my life.

        Well howdy neighbor! I grew up a few (not gonna say the amount) miles north of you. If you’re in your mid 40s we might have competed against each other in sports/music/&c. growing up.

        Beautiful area, great food, no?

          Excellent food and a good cultural mix of people. Melting pot of America for sure. Awful heat though. I left there years ago. Though I return to visit old friends.
