The International Space Station?

Ding..ding..ding....

Take it away.

 

[RobsanX]

Yay!

 

[RobsanX]

What are these?

 

[quicksilver]

sort of look like leeche or demented avocado pits

 

[RobsanX]

Not leeche or avocado pits...

 

[cara]

some sort of nutmeg?

 

[RobsanX]

Not nutmeg.

 

[Wart]

Where's Wart? I figured he would get this.

Sick as a dog. Events from Thursday night to Saturday morning are jumbled, darn, my remaining hair follicles still hurt.

I have to say that during my 'still sane' hours of Thursday the picture didn't "add up".

 

[Wart]

Jumping beans?

 

[RobsanX]

Not jumping beans.

 

[Wart]

Not jumping beans.

I realized that shortly after posting.

I already have too many 'never mind(s)" in this game.

They kind of look like buckeyes, but the ones I have seen are usually darker.

[RobsanX]

Nope, not buckeyes.

They are common in SE Asia, but you don't eat them... Except for that little bit you might swallow...

 

[quicksilver]

Water chestnuts?

 

[quicksilver]

Soap nuts used for toothpaste

 

[RobsanX]

Nope.

Beetle nuts

Beetle nuts

Actually Betel Nuts, but close enough...

Usually a few slices of the nut are wrapped in a Betel leaf along with lime and may include clove, cardamom, catechu (kattha), etc. for extra flavouring. Betel leaf has a fresh, peppery taste, but it can be bitter depending on the variety.
Areca nuts are chewed with betel leaf for their effects as a mild stimulant, causing a mild hot sensation in the body and slightly heightened alertness, although the effects vary from person to person. The effect of chewing betel nut is relatively mild and could be compared to drinking a cup of coffee.

OK. I'll go scout up a photo. BRB
