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.

drupe drupe drupe drupe drupe. Why have I not heard this word before?
Don't be duped, buy a drupe.
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!
Is she Gujarati? Does she have a brother? Do your parents like each other?!?!?!?!
