       In my part of the world, it's time for a little beer with peanuts (cheers !). I realize that the word "peanut" is a very good description of what it really is: a nut from the pea family. In french, its called"cacahuète".. It sounds bad, its hard to write properly and it contains the french word for "poo". It will take more than this, though, to stop me from enjoying them. Thats how good peanuts are ^^

       @Poudingue In French speaking African countries it's "arachide"... Nobody uses the strange "French" denomination ;-)https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachide

       @onan Thanks Rev. Now you made me curious about this "goober" word. I'm wondering where it comes from.

       @cybeardjm@loweel Thanks for your feedbacks, its very interesting. According to wikipedia, it seems that "cacahouete" comes from the spanish term "cacaouet", derived from a native mexican langage (nahuatl) term : "tlālcacahuatl". Which means something like cocoa from the earth/soil/ground. Which makes sens :)

       @Poudingue @loweel BTW, "peanut butter" is called "pâte d'arachide" and not "beurre de cacahouète".I like the Canadian version: pinotte (derived from peanut). Any Canadian around to validate?

       @cybeardjm @loweel "Pinotte" is cute, it looks like a kind of phonetic translation ?
