Baby Boats was at the house today, for desert I pulled out the bag of nut's as Tradition has it under this roof. We where cracking away with the cracking tool when she tossed out the challenge.
Grandpa used to crack a Brazilian nut with just his hand.
No, Grandpa used to use two Brazilian nuts he just didn't let you know.
One thing lead to another and the Old Frogman now depleted of any strength in his thumbs still proved to Baby Boats that every nut other than the Brazilian nut could be cracked with just one's hands.
So as a survival tip, take two of any nuts and use one to crack the other with nothing more than the strength of your grip.
About the challenge, just crack a lone Brazilian with only your hands. (I'll be waiting for the video)
As to the tale of a young southern sailor and Brazilian nuts, perhaps it belongs in times long past.
Set the nutcracker aside and teach the Grandkids to use 2 nuts to reach the tootsie roll center, if they ever have to revert back to nut gathering they shall Thank You. JMHO.
