Does anybody know where in Budapest affordable pine nuts can be bought? I know they are generally not cheap (but why? Comes from regular tree!), but the prices seen here in Budapest are bordering absurdity.

Pine nuts must be harvested by bare-breasted Tahitian virgins only during a month with the letter M, this is why they are so expensive.
