Reviews

  1. So the question is how many grams is 30 walnuts? could i use for example a 200g packet of Lidls Californian walnuts? or would i need two packets? I am very tempted to do this, need to figure out whether this is 30 whole walnuts first .

Tweaks

  1. The everclear alcohol in the UK is 80-90% proof, and because of our rich cultural heritage there are some really cheap foreign vodkas that make better cheaper substitutes. I use frozen fruit or packetted nuts to make it a all round activity
