Favourite nut?
 

My favourite nut is unquestionably the Pistachio nut. It just makes any other nut taste bland in comparison. It is a bit of a novelty the way you break open the already-partially-seperated shells yourself using your thumbs. I've found that, on the contrary to being an annoyance, this method actually works as Pistachio conservation; the moreish effect of the Pistachio taste could perpetuate the uninterrupted eating of them indefinetely, if not for the fact that skin fraying of the thumbs eventually kicks in to make it quite a saw effort to open any further shells, and the Pistachios are layed aside for a thumb-respite.

What is the nut you would slap a big sticker on with 'favourite' written on it?

Mine is definitely the walnut. How fun is it to hit something with a hammer to get to the treasure? I would love to try and crack it open with the butt of an M16 lol..

Walnuts have been correlated with a reduction in the chance of dying from any cause. Plus they taste orgasmic.

Peanuts come in second. They're tasty and versatile.

How does that work? If I eat walnuts will I be less likely to, say, get hit by a car?

i myself, prefer the coconut. :D juicy, and meaty... great way to start any morning, or to eat as a snack.

ps. the coconut is not a nut hehe

Find one of the shells that's long, broad, and has a fairly pointed tip (it would hold a wide nut inside). Then use this instead of your fingernails for prying them open. Watch yourself eat entire bags at a time. :(

I'm pretty sure it's reserved only for NATURAL causes lol.

Kupo nut. Why lie.

It sounds ridiculous, but this is what I've read.

It's cashews. No competition.

I like hazel nuts. Mmmm. They are harder to crack open, but they dont shatter all over the place.

Worrying times for Pistachio fans

I've never had a walnut. =(

My favorite nut is a macadamia nut. My least favorite is an almond...gag. And they're so good for you. I really wish I liked them.

I love macadamia nut cookies ^_^ They are the best ever!

Mmm, nuts~!

I love all kinds of nuts; pine, macadamia, walnut, almond, pistachio, nuts are really yummy~

However, I'm not really fond of peanuts or cashews; dunno, they're always been really salty and..not very yummy tasty =/

Same here. After that, I would probably pick either peanuts or pecans. Those three nuts are about the only ones that I would eat whole. I'll eat almonds and walnuts and stuff, but I only like them when they're chopped.

I'll really only eat peanuts. Or coconut, but it's not actually a nut. Oh well.

Personally, I'm very partial to Cashew nuts. Lightly salted. I love all kinds of nuts though...

I only really enjoy peanuts - salted, of course. I sometimes encounter other nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, in desserts. While I don't mind these seldom encounters, the only nuts I truly enjoy eating are peanuts.

Honey roasted peanuts. Awesome stuff. Macadamia and walnuts are good too, but the former preferably in a warm and soft cookie.

Ironically, the one thing the walnut can't save you from is the walnut. My brother had an allergic reaction to one and his throat closed. Although, had it been a different nut, we don't know if he'd have been so lucky...

I'd agree that the hazelnut is one of the best, but almonds are excellent too...I'm not much of a fan of eating nuts plain, I gotta have them with chocolate or something....and hazelnuts covered in chocolate...MMMMmmmmm....

Man I love deez. I always have supply of mixed nuts + trail mix that I get whenever I go grocery shopping, the contents of which satisfy me greatly; so: peanuts, cashews, almonds, macadamia, walnuts, and pecans. I do love the hazel nut too though, as well as pistachio.

One of my other favorites are the boiled peanuts. <3.

I definitely did not see that one coming.

I like a lot of various types of nuts and legumes, but if I had to choose a definitive favorite, I think I would have to go with cashews as being my favorite, but pistachios are a close second for their unique taste.

You win. The only reason I didn't say that was because I didn't think anyone would know what I was talking about.
