Academy Award Worthy Nut Mix

mitica_nutmix.jpg
I've been looking for this stuff ever since I attended a North Berkely tasting at The Corson Building and ate about a quarter of a pound of it a few weeks ago. ...OK, after I found some stray mix littering my pocket yesterday. Fried favas, walnuts, pistachios, chick peas, and—be still my heart—corn nuts. Distributed locally by Cucina Fresca, you can find Mitica Spanish Nut Mix at The Spanish Table, Metropolitan Market and PCC.

Addendum
(aka I am an asshole.) This nut mix was sooo good, my friend Catherine Reynolds (formerly of The Spanish Table) and I swore it was the real thing, from Spain, but I should have confirmed with The Corson Building. TURNS OUT: The TCB guys made it themselves. Call me impressed. Also, they may begin selling it soon. Soon enough for Sunday? Drat.
