Macadamia nuts are the most expensive nut by weight, commonly found in American stores, retailing for about 1/3 more than pistachios. There is nothing in article to reflect the luxury connotation. Or how they are used. Or even how they taste.
This article needs more about macadamia nuts, themselves.
Like, what foods are they found in? I'm eating some macadamia nut cookies right now, and that must be one of the most common founds to have macadamia nuts incorporated. and cookies are mentioned nowhere in this article, or even just nut mixes.

The Macadamia is not a true biological nut.
Is it possible if we can remove all of the "Nut" terms used, and introduce the "Nut" into trivia or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.124.73.176 ( talk) 23:41, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

The whole reference to Polish weddings ("In Poland . . . as seen in Polish culture during celebrations, the groom will after cracking begin to dance in a jovial manner [8]"), including the citations, appears to be a practical joke (and not a particularly funny one). The target of both citations appears to be a legitimate Polish culture web site, but without any references to Macadamia nuts (which, not being indigenous to Poland, seem an unlikely element of Polish culture).

I have actually danced during my Polish wedding after cracking some macadams. There is even a traditional song in some wojewodztwa (Polish provinces) to accompany this cracking sound. It goes like: "Orzeszki, pekajcie smialo". Some people (depends on wealth) use walnuts or hazelnuts instead of macadamias. ( 46.205.50.245 ( talk) 22:07, 6 January 2012 (UTC))
Poland has for years used the Macadamia nut as a wedding celebratory food, and used following dancing in some cases. It serves as a Traditional piece inherited sometime in the late 1970's, 'Long time polish' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.234.251.230 ( talk) 14:21, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

I can’t find in the article what it is in macadamias that makes them toxic to dogs, and that was the reason I read it to start with. As written at present, it suggests that dogs are simply more sensitive to some constituent than humans are. I was, however, primed for that interpretation by a news article about common human foods that aren't good for dogs. Then it occurred to me that it might refer to dogs’ eating raw or unleached macadamias. Is it the cyanogenic glycosides that occur in some species? I would like to know more about this.

Jared Diamond in his book "Guns, Germs and Steel" (ISBN-13: 978-0393317558 ISBN-10: 0393317552 p102) claims that the macadamia nut is the only plant to have been domesticated from Australian wild stock, after the arrival of Europeans and their technology.
