Ginkgo Nut ― 2009/09/11
If you find a mess like this with foul odour on streets, it’s time to pick up ginkgo nuts.
You will find little orange fruits nearby or in the mess. Pick them up and rush to home diffusing scent of human waste.
It takes a bit of time and labour to make your harvest edible as you have to remove all the pulp and shell. The most unbearable part of the process should be to remove the pulp; your kitchen will be smelled up.
But it’s worth the efforts. Once you get the pistachio green nuts, they will make a versatile ingredient for various dishes. Simply fried and sprinkled a pinch of salt, they can be good nibbles. In Chinese stir-fly, they will add colour, interesting texture, and nutty flavour. In Japanese cuisine, they will be a good garnish. Ginkgo nut in rice is one of our autumn favourites.
If you feel embarrassed to pick something up from street in public, there will be ginkgo trees in your local public playgrounds or shrines (make sure you offer some changes for the deity of the shrine in this case).
You might also find your co-pickers, probably elderly ladies, there.
Note: Ginkgo may cause a rash. I recommend you to wear kitchen gloves when picking up and handling ginkgo fruits.
