After maple, this time walnut strategic reserves were liberated in unknown direction (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/31/80000-pounds-of-walnuts-stolen-california-accented-delivery0driver-imposter_n_2050181.html) :smallcool:

Quick, anyone can think of any walnut-maple dishes to know what will disappear next?

Waldorf salad.
various nutmixes as they are now,
various cakes and desserts.
for the rest it's not that big of an impact...

What do you do with 40 tonnes of walnuts? I would guess everyone who sells walnuts have their established suppliers and you can't just post an ad if anyone wants to buy large amounts of walnuts cheaply, now that police is looking for it.
If it was just randomly stolen trucks that just happened to be loaded with walnuts, it wouldn't be too strange, but apparently the thief had forged all the right shipping papers, so he knew what he was getting.

You wouldn't steal it unless you already had a buyer, or a fence who had a buyer.

Maybe they want to invest them ?

And how do you make an investment with nuts ?

You plant them of course :smallsmile:

That would be a lot of Walnut trees though.

Suddenly, wyoming finds itself engulfed with baby walnut trees. 1000 acres worth in a vast forest that sprung up over the winter mysteriously. And according to the article, its a guy with a russian accent, clearly the russian mob is trying to rob the united states of its syrup and walnuts. It wont stop there either. We need to keep an eye on all other long lasting foods packaged in gigantic freaking amounts.

The next thing on the list will be the dairy creameries. Someone is trying to hold the world's supply of Maple Walnut ice cream hostage.

I was thinking pie dough, myself. Because I love nut pie. Or just eggs, flour, sugar, etc.

Nope, next they will go for the Whips (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walnut_Whip).
The strategic reserve is in Halifax apparently.
