Ukrainians are fond of toasting sunflower seeds in the shell as well!
That would be done in a frying pan.
Of course, here it's bird food! :) I enjoyed watching cardinals, house finches, titmouse, and chickadees shelling them at the bird feeder in Charlotte. Actually, the chickadees would fly off with them.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-- Isaac Asimov
