Reply to comment by goddeszzilla in To Restaurants: Sakura blossoms don't taste like cherries by glopmod

That kind of makes sense -- cherries and almonds are related.

(That's also why whole almonds look a bit like plum pits)

So this is why everything that’s “almond flavored” tastes like cherry flavoring to me. But cherry flavoring tastes nothing like cherries.

Kinda the other way around. A lot of “cherry” flavors use almond extract, very specifically most maraschino cherries that aren’t made with actual maraschino liqueur
