The nut thread - Talk about what kind of nuts you like to put in your mouth

[Sprig of Parsley]

I personally feel nuts, seeds, kernels and kin are a fantastic foodstuff (in moderation of course) and that they need some love. Come give your nuts some love in this thread.

I have adored hazelnuts (or filberts if you prefer) for a while now, to the point of seeking them out in nut mixes when no one else would. Hazelnut syrups are fantastic in coffee and Nutella is the ambrosia of the gods. Pumpkin seeds are also criminally underappreciated as a snack, and are a critical component of green mole sauce. Peanuts are commonly thought of as merely being a snack or as peanut butter but learning to cook Thai has taught me their importance in a lot of Asian cooking in particular.

I chomp on sunflower seeds. Very cheap and it helps my autism.

BBQ!

Almonds are always good. But nothing beats pecans fresh from the tree.

Always loved chili nuts. Nothing much else. Seeds in mustard and chili are a must.

Peanuts are actually beans.

Heck.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

Pistachios are amazing, until you get that rotten one and then the trauma causes you to put the bag away for a few days until the salty goodness draws you back into the danger zone.

Me personally, I love me some Brazil nuts.

...

...hey, where'd everybody go?

I love cashews and macadamias. They're the best nuts out there.

Peanuts are actually beans.

Heck.

Legumes are funny things. Still, good stuff.

I love Macadamia nuts, but they're fucking expensive. I'll eat almost every nut except walnuts and Nigger Toes.

Pecans and almonds are delicious. Walnuts are okay, but I much prefer the wood of the tree for its rich figuring and deep color. Terrific for a custom re-stocking of a favorite rifle.

Friend of mine spoke highly of hickory nuts. Basically a smaller walnut that tastes even better and is harder than hell to find in stores.

I noticed at Walmart yesterday that they now have hazelnut creme M&M's.


Too bad I'm allergic to hazelnuts.

 

[Coolio55]

Mild sweet spiced nuts are the best.
Nuts in chocolate are also awesome.

They make ricin from some part of the cashew plant, don't they?

From what I'm reading that would be Castor beans - which are scary as heck because ricin is subsequently scary as heck. Seems to be a go-to for assassins.

List of assassinations/attempts involving ricin

Pistachios are (some-fucking-how) related to poison ivy, and will itch u the fuk up tho boi.

As a kid I briefly lived in an apartment with pecan trees in the yard. Apparently I ate a lifetimes worth of pecans off the ground, because I fucking HATE them now.
