Subject: Favorite Nuts
Yes, I mean the edible kind! :P Do you have a favorite?
Mine is a toss-up between almonds and pistachios. They're both yummy! :D
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
I like walnuts a lot, but I can't eat many of them. I really like cashews as well.
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
Cashews are great, but I have to say that Macadamia rules my nut world. ;D
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
oh my goodness...macadamia nuts are sooooooooooooooo good... :P ;D
after saying that, I think I have to carefully re-examine my sexuality...
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
Definitely almonds. If they have chocolate wrapped around them it's even better! :D

Cashews are my favorite. I don't like walnuts or almonds. I only really like a few kinds.
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
My favorite candy bar? PayDay. When it comes to the junk food area I prefer salty-fatty things like nuts and chips over sweet.
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
Mine are cashews, almonds and macademia nuts! In fact, I had some cashews just a couple of nights ago!

I dislike peanuts, though.
I like them in candy bars and stuff, but that's it.

I couldn't answer this one right away, because my naughty little mind took me for a trip to fantasy-land. (The magazines I ordered with the photo spread of my favorite actor arrived today. 8) ;) ;) )
Then I was going to say you guys were my favorite nuts, but then I actually read the thread, and realized what was meant. ::)
I like Brazil nuts and Macadamia nuts. I like Walnuts if they are not chopped too small. I don't like Hazelnuts for some reason, I can't even drink Hazelnut-flavored coffee.
Then all those comments about nuts covered in chocolate sent me right back to fantasy-land. ;D :o ;D
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts

Pistachios are quite good.
I will never understand, for the life of me, why they feel the need to add that horrible red dye to them. It's not like it adds any flavor! It's just messy.
The natural ones are much better. :)

From zenobianut.com:
Why are pistachios sometimes dyed red?
The California pistachio industry says it's to hide blemishes on the shells. Actually, there's a different reason.
In the Middle East, pistachios were often left in their reddish husks and were brined before roasting. This gave the shells a pink cast. When they started importing pistachios into the U.S., processors tried to imitate the color by using red dye. They found that the coloring made the nuts more noticable in retail displays and made the nuts even more red. Middle Eastern people, who until recently were the biggest pistachio consumers, were accustomed to eating nuts with blemished shells... so they wouldn't care whether or not the nuts were dyed.
Consumption of red pistachios has declined dramatically in recent years.

Good thing too! That red dye is quite possibly the most unnecessary ingredient to ever be added to a food/snack.
Thanks for the info, man! :)
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
I prefer the plain pistachios..I can't stand getting that red dye on my fingers!
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
honey roasted peanuts, followed by dry roasted peanuts, cashews & pistachios.
I don't really like nuts in any foods - except for Snickers bars.

I couldn't agree with you more, Hairspray! I always avoid the red ones!
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
Macadamia nuts are my favorite.
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
I love smoked almonds. I also like dry-roasted peanuts, and Brazil nuts. Not a big fan of Macadamia nuts at all...
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
Pistachios are my favourite, but I like all kinds.
As far as the red dye, messy, but too good to not keep eating. ;D
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
I have yet to meet a nut I don't like,of the edible variety that is.............;)
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
This is another crazy question trying to make me choose!
Pistachios (plain kind, not red), almonds are probably my very favorite "nuts". (I know, technically not all are real nuts but who cares.) I love almonds in chocolate, regardless. I love them salted plain. LOVE them in good turtles! Pistachios - esp. salted - are just plain great by themselves.
Also like cashews alot, esp. in candies and coatings. LOVE turtles, again!
I like peanuts mostly in terms of added coatings. Some chocolate-covered are OK, but some the dull peanut flavor permeates too much. I LOVE them honey-roasted, or that wonderful spice mix Planters puts out. I love good fresh 1s from the shell - but not all are that good!
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
I like chestnuts.It's ok but they taste very dry.Has anyone had that taste in your mouth after eating chestnuts? -howard-
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
yummmmmy...~NUTS~ :D
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
I love those almonds or anything honey roasted. On the nut things though, this past thanksgiving I wanted to make a new dish to sort of start my own Thanksgiving tradition. So I decided to make a chesnut bisque. My little hands were sore and cracked from peeling those suckers and to top it off, I the soup tasted like nut-dirt soup.
Anyway, I've read today in a couple of places that Race Bannon's favourite candy bar is a Pay Day. Being the good wife that I am I think after work, I will stop and get him one as a little surprise.

Beer Nuts or chocolate covered almonds. YUMMY!!
Subject: Re: Favorite Nuts
My favorites (not in any order)
Walnuts
Cashews
Pistachios (the natural ones of course-I really hate the dyed ones)
One time I took a day cruise to three Greek islands. One of them was (Aegina) was famous for its pistachios. Just about everyone brought bags of them. On the way back, the boat was covered with pistachio shells. I don't think there was a place on that boat that didn't have a shell. But they were very good.
