I presume that they are eating almonds?

The house in Essex where I grew up had almond trees in the front garden.
Very pretty blossoms, good croppers, but the fruit was bitter (cyanide?).
I assume they were a decorative variety - they came with the house.


Yup, in all respects. You can use them for flavouring, but need to
take care.
