I can eat almonds. Almonds don't give me anaphylactic shock, possibly because they're technically pits from a "drupe" fruit (the same classification of fruit as peaches, plums, and cherries) and not tree nuts per se, though I don't think every tree nut has the same allergy-provoking protein as hazelnuts.
Yeah the classification "nut" is surprisingly specific. I do kind of wonder why there is that specific protein in hazelnuts. Any time there are these little differences that are enough to trigger a specific allergy it's curious to me, sometimes there doesn't even seem to have been any prior exposure to the allergen.

I like all kinds, although I’m not a fan of shelled, salted peanuts because most of the time they’re way oversalted, and I can’t taste anything but the salt.

Apparently a type of liqueur can be made out of the fruit, which I’ve heard is good, but I’ve never gotten a chance to try it.
