Who eats seeds?

Vin, I wish you and I spoke the same language. What the heck is "smoko"?
As for the rest, almost daily I eat some form of granola and something that my wife makes for me that I lovelingly call "health pellets." It is a mixture of oats, blueberries, mashed pear and mashed bananas, it is flavored with a pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. No sugar or anything else. She bakes it in a muffin tin and it bonds together into something that resembles a muffin, but it does not "raise" because there is no yeast in it.
AS for the other seeds you eat, I love pine nuts (pignoli) on a salad. No clue what a pietas is. I vagely recall hearing sultana but can't place it.

I usually eat Safeway brand mixed nuts (Pecans, Brazil, Cashews, Almonds, 50% Peanuts) for my "smoko". Lately, I've spiced it up with some M&M's (chocolate) but have now depleted that little supply so I am back to just nuts.
Granola is basically oatmeal and sometimes nuts and raisins. The oatmeal is covered in brown sugar and (cinamon, egg, flour, and ???) and then baked until it is crispy. It is really good.

Vin, we took the kids to visit Britain and were offered muesli breakfast cereal with milk. We didn't know what it was until we saw it.
At home we would call that 'granola' and eat it dry as a snack.
I eat a lot of almonds. My city home is near the almond grower's packing house that processes something like 50% of the world crop. Almonds are expensive even there. $32 for a 5 lb bag of plain dried, or plain roasted, bulk almonds. I usually go back as soon as we run out. (thats $14/kg if I figured it right).
I wish I could get prices like that for my apples!

I eat my granonla in either 'bar' or 'loose' form. A granola bar is a great snack at work or in a car, but the loose form is commonly eaten by hand as a snack or in a bowl as a breakfast cereal. There are as many mixutures of as you can think of, but as PB points out, in the 'bar' form or the 'cereal' form, most often you will find something like Oats as a base to mix in the seeds and nuts. In the loose bag snack versions, oats are typically omitted completely.
