The nut of the gods, because only they can afford them

So you go to the store one day. You have the intentions of fulfilling the mission you have set out for yourself, which happens to be buying pine nuts. When you reach the "nut" aisle, you look and see that there are no pine nuts, but just darn things like almonds, mixed nuts and the dreadful "nut," which when people think of nuts, they think of this: the Peanut. And that darned "nut" isn't even a nut, since it doesn't grow in a tree! So you go on your way to the baking aisle, where slivered, crushed, and whole nuts are bagged in tiny, expensive packages. You were hoping not to have to come to this, but what must be done must be done. When you arrive, there is not even a mention of pine nuts. There are, once again, almonds and Peanuts ( :P ) and even hazelnuts. But even though the darned "nut" joined the group, there are no pine nuts, not even a walnut! So, frustrated, you push your cart into the bulk foods, squeezing it between the small aisles with the rows of tantalizing chocolates and mouth watering candies. You dodge through the many obstacles and make it to the nuts (most of them varieties of assorted darned "nuts") and finally, dazzling before your eyes: Pine Nuts!! You make a headlong dash to them, throwing aside customers and shelves in your excitement. You just got your second wind. Little did you know that it was about to run out... Here you are, scooping the shining golden nuts by the pound into your little plastic baggy, and then you see the price. $13.95 a Pound?!?!?!
