Isn't there a vinegar that is made from balsa wood?

[taranis]

Looking for a food link ?
acajou is also another name for cashew

[vivandorron]

Well wood you believe it!!

It's nuts when you realise that mahogany is cashew; used in France and is called 'acajou' and the word comes from the Portuguese (a)caju as a derivative of Tupi 'agapu'.

Come on, it's food for thought; and we need a fibrous diet........Ron
