@Siiin@pagan.plus yes, I’ve heard of groundnuts & they definitely grow here!! Or at least they’re supposed to; I haven’t stumbled on any. Since they’re a legume with a common name like “groundnut” I feel a little anxious about trying them, as I have a peanut allergy, but I can have literally any other legume so far — I’m sure the reticence is irrational.

@fey@pagan.plus Ahh that's interesting and makes sense! Completely uncertain how rational or irrational the concern is, to be honest, but if you ever do decide it's safe to try them I'd love to know what the experience is -- I don't think they'd really do well here but have a minor obsession with them as a really important staple food crop in pre-settler North America.
