Food & Drink - 13 December 2007

I heard that back in the day (not sure when), pistachios were a bright red color. They would dye them and even your fingers would turn red! I have never seen red pistachios in my life so I guess they dont do that anymore.

So is this really true and why would they add artificial dye to an already delicious natural product? I love pistachios!! Was this in the US or somewhere else? Did they taste the same?

THANKS in advance!

I'm looking for something more authentic than we've been having- we pretty much have tacos rolled into a burrito. Preferably something with ground beef or chicken and/or beans. Thanks~

Recently, 24 6 oz cans of Solid white Albacore in Water came into my possession. Now, I'm one of those odd people who can eat it right out of the can with no problem. But, that gets old after a while. Other then adding Mayo, what ideas can you guys give me to "spice up" the tuna with?

I briefly searched google and was unable to find anything of the sorts.
So I'm wondering if anyone has brewed Maple beer themselves, or heard of anyone doing it.
Any recipes/links to recipes would be highly appreciated!

I host parties in which people usually wrestle in pudding, but I thought oil, such as salad or peanut, might be better. I need an oil that is fairly cheap and has the least smell. Everyone I have asked has given a mixed response.
