	Fun fact: Brazil was named after the Brazil nut.

	"Gingko" is an alternate spelling of ginkgo and should be accepted.

	@Ravenclaw - Acorns can be used to make coffee, as in Germany in WWII when coffee beans were embargoed. The German word for acorn is "ersatz" and is used in English to mean fake or second rate

	It should accept pinon for pine nut.

	Good quiz but perhaps you could make it so you have to answer in order to make it slightly more challenging.

	I wouldn't really want to eat that chestnut.

	@save_ferris15: no, it was named for the Brazilwood tree, which was used to make a dye. @Ravenclaw, Teary-Ennui, there are parts of France where acorns were the primary staple food. When the right acorns are processed correctly, you get a kind of flour that can be used to make something like a bread.

	This is like porn for squirrels!

	Peanut. I missed peanut.

	f1junkie:	May 13th, 2012 at 01:42 GMT	0 points
	The peanut is not really a nut at all. It's a legume, more closely related to a bean.

	ivyagogo:	May 13th, 2012 at 02:07 GMT	0 points
	I'm quite picky with nuts. I like peanuts, almond, and pistachio nuts, but I absolutely hate chestnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and cashews.

	Why did the squirrel have to eat his way home? He was stuck in acorn maze!

	@WyattsTorch: My mum puts ground candlenuts in curries as a thickening agent/to make it more 'rich'. I don't think you can eat them raw.

	I never knew you could eat acorns. I will give it a go this autumn though. Nice one fm. Is there no end to what you can learn on Sporcle?

	The Ginkgo Nut on the right looks like an ice cream cone.

	This really needs to be answered in order, otherwise it's just 'guess as many types of nut as you can think of' rather than an actual picture quiz.
