It would appear you just can’t trust what you’re buying when it comes to food, the world over.
From horse meat disguised as beef and pork to fake walnuts, your only safe bet really seems to be farming produce yourself… but who wants to pluck a chicken, or tread down grapes, or skin a bunny? Ergh.
It has emerged in China that fake walnuts have been being banded about. “What’s a fake walnut?” we hear you ask… well some clever sod who has no social life whatsoever has been filling walnut shells with cement and tissue paper then gluing them shut.
“The Ministry of Tofu,” a Chinese news source, reports:
“Mr. Li bought 2.5 kilos of walnuts from a street vendor in Zhengzhou city, Henan province on February 15. After he got home and cracked open some of them, he found that inside the walnuts were broken concrete chunks. In order to reap more profit, vendors cracked open walnuts that had thin husks, took out the nutmeat and put concrete nuggets inside, then sealed the husk with glue. To prevent the concrete nuggets from knocking on their husks and making noise, the counterfeiters wrapped them with paper.”
It is thought that Mr. Li went nuts when he found out he had been duped. Also, please note the use of the word “nutmeat” in the quote above and add it to your vocabulary as we have.
