Macadamia nuts seem valid
And tasty! And the only native Australian crop to achieve any sort of large-scale cultivation.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

However, wikipedia also gives this somewhat startling bit of information:
1858 - Walter Hill, Superintendent of the Brisbane City Botanical Gardens, observes a boy eating the nut without ill effect, becoming the first non-indigenous person recorded to eat Macadamia.
Which pretty much gives the impression that he thought there would be ill effect, saw the boy eating the nut, and rather than stopping him, decided to observe him and see what would happen.

He might also simply not have had time to react. I, however, prefer to think that he was the one actively feeding the boy macadamias.

Every macadamia nut I have ever tried reminded me too much of munching on chalk.
ETA: Maybe I've had some bad luck?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So are people allergic to nuts not allergic to drupes?

A quick google seems to say that some people who are allergic to nuts are actually only allergic to certain families of nuts, so some of them are allergic to drupes and others aren't. [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched a childhood friend of mine star in a Bollywood movie. It wasn't as weird as I thought it would be. She's a good actress!
