almond butter

always wanted to try this nut butter, but never wanted to invest in a jar in case we didn't like it. well wal-mart had a snack thing with a bit of almond butter & pretzel sticks, so brother & i got some to try.

first of all when you open it you're assaulted by the smell of ground almonds. second the oil separated out of the nut butter & it had to be stirred in, which wasn't easy because it was like stirring half-dried cement. the almond butter didn't taste great, so it was hardly worth the effort. we're really glad we didn't get a whole jar. and i suspect that cashew butter would be similar.

i wouldn't mind trying cookie butter though.
