So, is there flesh that grows around an almond seed like a peach?

Wikipedia sez:
The fruit is a drupe 3.5–6 cm long, with a downy outer coat. The outer covering or exocarp, fleshy in other members of Prunus such as the plum and cherry, is instead a leathery grey-green coating called the hull, which contains inside a hard shell, and the edible seed, commonly called a nut in culinary terms. Generally, one seed is present, but occasionally there are two. In botanical terms, an almond is not a true nut. The reticulated hard woody shell (like the outside of a peach pit) surrounding the edible seed is called the endocarp.

When I was a kid I always loved it when a peach pit was a little cracked and you could work it open and see the part inside that looked like an almond.
Imagine my geeky glee when I discovered that that is pretty much what almonds are.
I still haven't roasted the insides of peach pits. I'll have to try that sooner or later.

I also want to figure out how to eat acorns. I used to gather BUCKETS of them because they were awesome.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Peach pits contain cyanide, so I personally would prefer later for myself...

I don't recall the details, but I seem to remember many years ago that making acorns edible is a lot of work. Without a lot of steps they can make you sick.
Also peach pits contain a chemical that turns into cyanide when processed by the human digestive system, so you might want to hold off on the roasted peach pits thing.
