I generally don't take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he's the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.
Now if that aint a big nut idk what is haha, seeing the "worlds biggest" anything in USA was probably super funny to see x)
Lots of the "worlds largest" attractions in America are made to gain tourist attention, like the worlds largest picnic basket, pistachio, etc. They're usually in areas people wouldn't normally go. This one is at PistachioLand, which is a large pistachio farm near White Sands National Park, so it's not necessarily in the middle of nowhere (but maybe a little). They do make a lot of really good pistachio based snacks. Different flavor roasted nuts, pistachio ice cream, red and green chili based foods like jerky or jams. It's definitely a tourist trap but the nuts they make are good, local and not from Wonderful Pistachios which has terrible quality control and less flavor options.
If anyone here ever heads down to see White Sands, definitely try the garlic or green chili roasted pistachios there.
Once USA becomes safe to visit, we have so many bucket list stuff to do there including a long train trip where we stay at some key spots for a bit to camp and enjoy plenty of sights :>
But that's 2045. I'm not camping at 70! I'll be making my own pilgrimage to hanauma bay to remember my uncle and, by then, my mum; and probably that's it for travel at that age.
Oomph, yeah 2045 if were lucky thats true, gotta visit eventually to see family so wehh
What is it with the US and doing landmarks in ridiculous sizes?
Quite funny but also weird
Hey, I know that pistaccio! I hope you didn't try any wines...
We didn't really do any drinking while we were there, what's wrong with their wines?
Count yourself lucky. Southern New Mexico wines are without a doubt the worst, sweetest wines in the world. They get a little better in northern New Mexico, but still not quite good.
Ah yeah I remember that from when I lived there, got local wine once and never again. I thought you were gonna say they had a recall for making people sick or something lol
