Ground Nuts Order

The Ground Nuts Order is an example of United Kingdom Legalese.

Its full title is the "Nuts (unground), (other than ground nuts) Order".

Ground nuts (peanuts) were introduced in the last days of the British Empire into Tanzania (then, Tanganyika) where they failed to grow. The "Ground Nuts Order" was created as a tariff or import tax to prevent the crop being sold at a loss.

It is often used as an example of Gobbledegook or Legalese.
