Cashew or almond (3)

I believe the answer is:

nut

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cashew' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'almond' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for nut that I've seen before include "Vegetarian food" , "Screwball" , "Fruit with hard shell" , "Fruitcake" , "Large, hard-shelled seed" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily, the Canadiana, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
