bitter or sweet?

bitter or sweet?

there are two kinds of almonds here, sweet and bitter. a common joke that the locals play on newbies to the region is to offer a beautiful looking handful of almonds, and then watch as the unsuspecting and grateful tourist fills his or her mouth full of revoltingly bitter almonds, and tries both to be polite and to spit out their gift at the same time. we have been here just long enough both to have endured this prank as victims, and to enjoy watching it be played on newer arrivals than ourselves.
