WHat is your favorite nut?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 8 February 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Tough call, but I'm going with almonds.

Brazzzzzil

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 8 February 2003 22:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Cashew.

― Venga, Saturday, 8 February 2003 22:27 (twenty-three years ago)

we just call them NUTS here!

Was it you ate all the Brazils out of my granola, then?

Me, I'm going with hazelnuts. Mmmmmm.

― kate, Saturday, 8 February 2003 22:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry I have a cold. My answer is, of course, monkey nuts.

The nut that holds the steering wheel on in my car is quite important to me.I heard a story once of a bloke who heard someone say that the most dangerous thing on a car was the nut behind the wheel.He took this the wrong way and removed the nut from the steering column,thinking that was what the other person meant.He stuffed the car through a garden fence soon after when the steering wheel parted company with the column shaft,as it would do.This is probably an Urban Myth,but don't you know of a car owner somewhere who would probably do just the same.Frightening.

Cashews. Especially fried to a crunchy crisp in a stirfry. Nyomm.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 9 February 2003 00:03 (twenty-three years ago)

almonds, pistachios, texas pecans in the shell. and props to the lowly peanut, epecially heavily salted and accompanied by beer.

― Aaron A, Sunday, 9 February 2003 00:44 (twenty-three years ago)

roasted unsalted almonds, although brazil nuts (when bought unshelled) are also excellent...

I had a bowl of hazelnuts (in their shells) in my kitchen right before Christmas, for snacking. I started cracking some open & eating them one night while I was cooking dinner for boy-- he stood there & watched me for a few minutes, before he asked why in the world I was eating acorns. ;- ) It was pretty cute- he'd never seen hazelnuts in their shells before.

― lyra (lyra), Sunday, 9 February 2003 03:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Salted red pistachios.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 9 February 2003 03:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and beer nuts!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 9 February 2003 03:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Very salty cocktail peanuts, for snacking, with a beer or bitter soda (i.e. Moxie) to wash them down with, and very dark chocolate to go with.

Hazelnuts for baking. Brazil nuts and macademias for ice cream. Hazelnuts or macademias for chocolate things. Walnut for oils.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 9 February 2003 03:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Hazelnuts. Almonds as long as they're not too heavily salted. Pistachios.

my boyfriendoh. heh. but no, seriously, brazilian nuts.

― nathalie (nathalie), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I like almonds, as long as they aren't salted. I'm not a fan of salted nuts. They make me very thirsty and annoyed. I like peanut butter but I'm not a big fan of regular unground peanuts. They're ok but there are other things I'd much rather eat. I like macadamia nuts ok, in cookies with white chocolate they are the greatest thing ever but plain they are not as good as the king almond. I like Nutella, which I believe is made of hazelnuts? Sweet things with hazelnuts in them are good, like Nutella or hazelnut gelato. I've never had a plain hazelnut, but if they taste like those things then they are delicious.

Still, almonds rule all in virtually any way (I'm not a fan of salt on virtually anything, so almonds aren't singled out in my salt horror). Marzipan is DOPE, yo.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Peanuts! Jawja in da haus!

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:35 (twenty-three years ago)

if they are covered in chocolate, they're all good.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:35 (twenty-three years ago)

peanuts are good in ice cream; pecans rokkit all nite long!

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:36 (twenty-three years ago)

cashews are good in chinese food, better than almonds

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Dry roasted peanuts are the beer companion of princes. (Pork Scratchings, especially those sold in The Washington, being the beer companion of kings)

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:43 (twenty-three years ago)

are pork scratchings the same thing as pork rinds? (I'm thinking probably)

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:44 (twenty-three years ago)

If Pork Rinds are curls of salty hard pork fat with softer fat on the inside then yes.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:46 (twenty-three years ago)

no, pork rinds are fried pig skin

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I think we mean the same thing, I forgot to mention that the fat was fried hard.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:50 (twenty-three years ago)

are they kinda puffy and crunchy?

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:52 (twenty-three years ago)

very hard on one side soft on the other

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:53 (twenty-three years ago)

no, pork rinds are kinda consistent throughout - http://www.evansfood.com/

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:57 (twenty-three years ago)

they're kinda disgusting to be honest

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 9 February 2003 10:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Scratchings look far less wholesome than that

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 9 February 2003 11:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Ugh, you people are disgusting.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 9 February 2003 11:05 (twenty-three years ago)

erm how long do nuts last?

cz talitha came round ysterday, and we were sitting reading captain slaughterboard and she started cracking and eating these nuts in a bowl i've had for like a REALLY LONG TIME, which look totally fine on the outside though, and a bowl of mixed nuts looks kinda nice always, and i said "are those ok, cz they're kinda old?" and she said "how old? they're fine"

how old = five years MINIMUM i think blimey

if they'd been oogy on the inside i'd have chucked em

"the peanut is neither a pea, nor a nut."

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Sunday, 9 February 2003 12:32 (twenty-three years ago)

"oh wait, it is a nut".

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Sunday, 9 February 2003 12:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Almonds - roasted, salted, toasted, ground, slivered, sliced - and my personal favorite: sugar and spice roasted.

No walnuts - can't stand the things, except in my mother's walnut pie.

Pecans as long as they're in something, macadamia nuts on their own, roasted hazlenuts in baking and for snacking, peanuts in almost any form, except those horrible "B'led P-Nuts" sold form the backs of pick-up trucks along the side of the road down here - they scare me.

Oh....my favorite use of peanuts and peanut-butter - curried peanut and potato salad - heavenly!

My mother managed, while attempting to crack a Brazil nut, to wedge part of the shell deep under her thumbnail, necessitating an emergency trip to the doctor for removal and a few stitiches.

Ohhh...and we used to buy 100 lbs. of walnuts every fall and store them in the garage - one of my dogs developed a taste for walnuts and would happily spend hours cracking the walnut shells and consuming the nutmeat. He had expensive tastes.

almonds are great in any way - i like them salted and roasted and also in chocolate. Honey roasted and indian-style spicy peanuts and cashews are also lovely. i remember they used to give out honey roasted peanuts on airplanes all the time, but lately i've noticed it's pretzels instead.

― sand.y, Sunday, 9 February 2003 21:39 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't really eat nuts by themselves, but cashews work very well with gin and tonics and i'll bet pistachios would be at least as good.

in other foods, pine nuts in pesto are essential, and toasted nuts can be nice in salads. also, i wouldn't want to live without nuts in sweets - especially pecans (pie, rugelach, other cookies) and almond paste.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 9 February 2003 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

fourteen years pass...

cashews have been making love to my taste buds like no other nut
