why exactly is it possible to just go to the store and buy a bag full of bitter almonds again??

(if you aren't aware: bitter almonds contain a substantial amount of cyanide. eating about half a dozen of them could be enough to kill a human) (regular non-bitter almonds contain very little cyanide and are not dangerous at all; this only applies to bitter almonds)

@packbat after looking it up apparently it's a traditional part of the recipe for amaretto but really, come on, don't try to sell them without big warnings about cyanide content

and maybe figure out how to make amaretto with less cyanide in it

@Felthry *nods*

Wikipedia says there are other sources that can be used to produce amaretto flavor anyway
