Do you sometimes eat a known safe number of the bitter almonds in pitted fruit or do you always throw it away?
Has anyone ever died from the cyanide in several jars of sweet almond butter eaten in one day?
Never. I suck on them though, typically. I'll eat a peach and when it's down to almost nil I just pop the whole thing in my mouth and scrape away the meat till its just pit and roll it around till I get up to a bin.

In one of the Game of Thrones books Hotpie talks about grinding up the stones of sour cherries to top pies with. Was he talking about the 'seed' or wut

>“You need sour cherries to make it right. The secret is you dry the stones and break ’em with a mallet; that’s where the real flavor is. Then you crush ’em up real fine, and when you’re finished, sprinkle ’em over the pie crust…” -Hot Pie
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahleb
>Mahleb or Mahlab is an aromatic spice made from the seeds of a species of cherry, Prunus mahaleb (the Mahaleb or St Lucie cherry). The cherry stones are cracked to extract the seed kernel, which is about 5 mm diameter, soft and chewy on extraction. The seed kernel is ground to a powder before use. Its flavour is similar to a combination of bitter almond and cherry,[1] and similar also to marzipan.[2]
I actually ate one of those seeds once, thinking it was where almonds came from. It literally taste like poison, and I thought I was going to die. Felt sick for an hour, then was ok again.

I no longer eat stone fruit after breaking a tooth open on a pit fragment.
