Fun fact: When consumed, amygdalin is converted by the body into hydrogen cyanide, the poison. Of course, in very small amounts, the body has an enzyme that can render hydrogen cyanide harmless. If you consume too much amygdalin, though, it can kill you. And amygdalin is found in the pits of peaches, cherries, and in apricot kernels. Also, the original almonds were bitter and poisonous due to amygdalin content, but somehow we were lucky enough to find an edible variant with very low levels of amygdalin.

Same giant encounter as prior but before the two Humans could actually see it...

They were probably laced with cyanide (which can taste like almonds - don't bother asking how I know that - I'll just say that I read it somewhere).
This was in the context of our barbarian asking for peanuts at a bar and being given almonds instead. He also asked for soup and got served a bowl of leftovers in hot water.

Isn’t that how a lot of soups get made?
Yes but they aren't called leftovers, they're called ingredients

The prince, who has temporarily joined the party, is going to try to make some grilled cheese sandwiches from food they stole from the BBEG. The PC monk interrupts:
Monk: Move! *takes the pan; proceeds to roll a 2 and ruin dinner*
Later, they're introducing the barbarian to the party's pet giant spider. The monk hands the spider her old quarterstaff (she recently stole a magical one from the BBEG). It fidgets with it, and drops it. She gives it a thumbs up and says, "Natural talent."

I rolled a Wisdom save for the queen. She rolled low, so I said, "Well, that had an effect, but I won't tell you what it was." She freaked the queen out and made her paranoid. XD
Then, when she actually met with the queen, she cast Sending on her, looking right at her, and again said, "Eat the rich."

Because cyanide is extracted from peach pits, and peaches are related to almonds.

Don't even TRY to argue with me about Star Wars.
