Our Legion/VFW doesn't operate that way. They have a nice commercial kitchen (they rent it out during the week) but for meeting nights a
member (they volunteer, Steve did the Legion meeting meal in March)
that gets a good bit of use. It's also a dry post and a non smoking (in the building) one.
All enclosed public spaces in Illinois are non-smoking by law. Which
is a good thing. And tippling is, of course, voluntary. I don't have

about it unless we go to a place that hasn't aired out since 2009. When Steve was initially in the Army, a lot of gatherings were heavy with smoke. During the time we were in AZ (mid to late 1990s, early 2000s)

They ought to outlaw tobacco altogether using the rationale that it's
a known carcinogen. But there's too much money involved and tobacco
execs are big-time political donors ... and that's as far as I care to
go with that lest I get moderated. 8V)=

No, not really. Although I mentally licked my chops but kept the
mirror for a couple of reasons. It was made by my grandfather from
trees grown on the family farm. And it was a family heirloom. When I downsized into the mobile home the mirror went to nmy brother, Phil.
It is currently in the hands of his grandson, Connor.
Black walnut meats are/should be fairly expensive due to the hand
labour involved it their "harvesting" ... unlike English/European
walnets which are more pecan-like in taste and harvesting of the
kernels.

Just a note that it was originally considered medicinal by the first
white folks that brought it over to England from North America. The
folks they got it from used it ceremonially. But, I'm with you in
feeling that there's no good use for it. Fresh curing tobacco smells
nice but we drove thru Winston-Salem back in 1977--city smelt like an
old cigarette--P! U!

grade school, my mom's mother gave us a set of bedroom furniture that
was moved into the room us 3 girls shared. Big, black, ugly stuff. When
my younger brother moved into the house 10 years ago, he got rid of it,
I don't know where. Probably worth some money but none of us wanted it.

I've never tried shelling them but I understand they're quite staining. I've read various books where one of the characters uses the juice from the walnuts to stain his (rarely her) skin as a disguise. We keep
regular walnuts and almonds on hand; Steve likes to add them to cereal, ice cream, and other foods. I'm not as fond of nuts in my food so he
just keeps a jar (each) of ground nuts on the kitchen counter to add as
he sees fit.

I noticed that "bottom of an ash tray" smell back in my trucking days.
Even though the indigenous folks used tobacco ceremonially I see no
reason not to have outlawed it like was done to the funny mushrooms
and peyote cactus buds used by indigenous people in the southwest.

The dye stuff (also used on cloth, sometimes inadvertently) comes from
the outer hull of the walnut. Removing that is a genuine PITA but is
the first step toward gettin at the hard, erose kernel that contains
the nut meats. My grandfather built a trough with a mesh bottom that
he could
fill with walnuts fresh from the trees. The family car was then driven down the trough doing most of the outer hull removal.
Still had to crack that tough nut in the middle and dig the bounty
from it, though.

At this point, I should think that it would be rather hard to outlaw tobacco useage. Too many people are nicotine addicts and would raise
quite the objection.

I've read of that being done, never saw it so couldn't, until now,
verify that it was (is) an acceptable way of shelling them. Any idea
of what was done (other than muscle power) before cars were invented?

Picked but not yet cured? That's what I'd guess, seeing enough of it in various stages here in NC. Not nearly as much as when we lived in the state from the mid 70s to early 80s but still a major crop.

Surely, now. But early days, before it had founded several fortunes
and addicted (literally) hundreds of millions ..... But, also before
we knew the downsides, to be fair.

According to the Wiki How article "To harvest black walnuts, start by collecting fallen black walnuts off the ground. Then, remove the green hulls on the walnuts using a jackknife or by cracking them under your foot. Next, dispose of the hulls and dry the brown hard shells on some newspaper for several days."

There are a fair number of lever operated specialy tools for cracking
the hard shells. Also a couple using screws (think hand-held vice) or
the time honoured method of laying the nut on a hard surface and
smiting it with a hammer.

Different cultivars. "As the names imply, dark leaf is supposed to
have a denser hue and blonde leaf is expected to sport a lighter
color.
However, do not conclude these two varieties to be worlds apart. The
same species of tobacco plant can be the source of both dark leaf and blonde leaf. This is because processing and production play a key role
in the entire scheme of things." https://khalilmamoon.com
Confused yet? I certainly am.

We've got a vise one (screws onto a table or counter top), curtesy of
an old friend of ours. She gave it to us to originally do pecans. We've also got the hand crackers and I think, one lever type.
