Now that we are talking about seeds and nuts in net.rumor...

I am sitting here hacking with a pile of brazil nuts and a vise-grip
lockwrench.  I am wondering if there is an easier way to get Brazil
buts out of the shell.  Some brazil nuts come out cleanly, but more than
hald of them stick to the nut husk.  Is there some secret I haven't
been able to figure out?  How do the nut stores get the whole ones
they sell (roasted in oil -- bletch -- I want mine raw) out in one
piece like that?
