Do you know what the nuts were in the photo I quoted from you? They don't look like peanuts, hazelnuts or macadamias. I'm out of ideas. Some sort of exotic Chinese nut I will never see in person? One inquiring ingnoramus would love to know.
I know it doesn't look like it in the image, but they were cashew nuts. This is a very common combination of ingredients here - not only in Hunan.
