For Example, Variation #1 Brazil Nuts Chocolate Pie
|
Oh, those Brazilians! Don't they go absolutely nuts from time to time? It usually happens in February or March during a gorgeous carnival in Rio. However, from my experience these people don't need much to start dancing, singing and just having fun wherever they are! Like Brazilians can raise their moods up easily, Brazil nuts tend to raise themselves in a mixture of other nuts, scientists call it granular convection or Brazil nut effect. |

Or Variation # 2 Chocolate Cashew Pie
 |
This feels a bit Indian to me. Goa, India, was the place where I tasted the best cashews ever. Probably they grow in many other places as well, but there I first saw how they grow on the tree. Cashews taste a bit sweeter than other nuts. So the pie with cashews will have that tender taste and aroma that only cashew nuts have. |
What About Variation #3 Chocolate Hazelnut Pie
|
Time to mention my Italian friend, who loves Nutella! This tasty thing now famous all over the world was first introduced in Italy. The official website says it was invented by Mr. Pietro Ferrero, a pastry maker and founder of the Ferrero company. At the time, there was very little chocolate because cocoa was in short supply due to World War II rationing. So Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts, which were plentiful in the Piedmont region of Italy to extend the chocolate supply. |
