I used to buy pistachios in Paris directly at the Maison de l'Iran boutique near my office, but it closed and is now the Heineken megastore, even though it is still in the building owned by the Islamic Republic of Iran on the Champs Elysées (Iran Air is still in its immutable place.).
Now I often buy pistachios at Carrefour, where they reputedly come from California.

What an interesting report. So pistacios come from Iran, Syria, the US and Turkey. How does Turkey fit into all of this? Iterestingly it seems that most of the iranian pistaccios are shipped to Germany and repackaged there. How does it all fit together?

I have heard it said, amongst those in the know, that not only are fundamentalist nuts more numerous than the red, white and blue variety, but also vastly superior in quality.
Yet another hiding for the US of Ameriky.

It's a wonder they can hold their heads up in international circles what with their failiure in the front against muslim nuts.
This site is always full of yanks (well rice beer man; degas and Randy Bender's mate) raving on about "muslim nuts" and here they are having their hat handed to them on a plate by those self same muslim nuts.
Poor show Americans. Poor show.

Don't get your nuts from Aldi, if you want to survive. And don't forget to rename califorian nuts to freedom-nuts. Only this way people will we able to boycott disguised and repackaged iranian nuts and buy genuinely free american nuts.

In central California where I once lived we had a lot of pistachio orchards.
An out of the area friend and his wife were driving by a local stand that had the word hyphenated on a sign.
She turned to her husband and in phonics asked,” What’s a pista-kio?”
Never lived it down!

I think it's awful for you to insult Queenie like that - after all you are a civil (?) servant swearing allegiance presumably to the Crown.
Queenie may not be the brightest star in a rather dim royal galaxy but give her more credit than that
Prince Philip will be in contact with you - talk about dim bulbs!
