I can't believe it wasn't popular in the USA until the 80's or 90's...and I have never seen it made with parsley OR with walnuts, so I am excited to give this a try. What do you normally use your pesto on? I like it with pasta and on bread, but curious if anyone else has some great ideas.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734747807043398382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107695809538458186.post-45168548318761040942011-07-29T02:22:17.056-05:002011-07-29T02:22:17.056-05:00What a lovely pesto recipe!

Can't wait to make some soon when my basil plants are at their peak. Walnuts are nice alternative to pine nuts especially when their price goes up.

A bitter, metallic taste is described. Though unpleasant, there are no lasting effects. This phenomenon was first described in a scientific paper in 2001, Some publications have made reference to this phenomenon as "pine mouth". The Nestle Research Centre has hypothesized that a particular species of Chinese pine nuts, Pinus armandii, is the cause of the problem. The suspect species of pine nuts are smaller, duller, and more rounded than typical pine nuts. This finding has recently been confirmed. In 1998 the FAO published a list of edible tree nuts, containing 29 species of pine nuts that are regularly consumed somewhere in the world and the aforementioned Chinese pine species were not included. Metallic taste disturbance, known as metallogeusia, is typically reported 1–3 days after ingestion, being worse on day 2 and lasting typically up to 2 weeks. Cases are self-limited and resolve without treatment Moller has postulated an hypothesis that could explain why the bitter taste appears several days after ingestion and lasts for as long. A well known physiological process known as enterohepatic recirculation (EHR) could play a key role in the development of PNS.Christine's Pantryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667351264908715753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107695809538458186.post-80608203590781351002011-07-28T14:22:25.113-05:002011-07-28T14:22:25.113-05:00i love pesto! love adding walnuts with pinenuts to...i love pesto! love adding walnuts with pinenuts too :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07514065308961422906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107695809538458186.post-23334183381375166802011-07-28T14:12:42.203-05:002011-07-28T14:12:42.203-05:00I love pesto, though I have grown a tad nervous ab...I love pesto, though I have grown a tad nervous about pinenuts ever since I got pine mouth.
