What's your favourite nut

[therhydler]

Sorry I've never created a poll before wanted to see what it's like

Hard to say... each has different culinary use

I went for Brazil nut :-)
They are my favourite for general meal substitutions however I am particularly keen on chocolate peanuts and peanut butter on toast, in ice-cream, on waffles, on a spoon straight from the jar (you get the idea...)

Just ordered a box of chocolate Brazil nuts from A. Should arrive tomorrow by private courier.

Damn I need to order some too

They were a tad expensive compared to the store price but it was easier than leaving the house and A is usually reliable here.

Cashew nuts all day long. A great snack with a pint

Have you had these ever? They are heaven!!

Because of my Diet I can't eat oil, so I have to buy raw peanuts and bake them meself in the oven. I mix them with rasins and it's the best shit eat as a snack, especially when high.

I need those

 

[iiii5555]

Cashews, of course!

Did you know that they come from a fruit?

 

[therhydler]

I need those

Please get some for me too! I don't have them here :( they are in Waitrose

Hazelnut! Mostly because of the purple ones in quality streets :)

 

[Wolfjob_dayjob]

I like your poll. :3
Pecans look like brains, peanuts are my least favorite.

 

[LiveSlowDieFast]

I could barely tell you the difference between half of those, tbh

 

[therhydler]

any oven baked nuts are heaven...
I'm surprised pistachio is not winning

Pine nuts boiled in salt water (in their shells) are delicious. They are a pain to harvest, and must be removed from their shells for eating, but I think you'd be surprised at how delightfully tasty they are if you've never tried them. I've never tried commercially distributed shelled and bagged pine nuts. I fear they'd pale in comparison with pine nuts prepared at home, and they're so damn expensive.

all day everday

Cashew, but I've read that it's not truly a nut :/

Wow! This is awesome :-) I feel I've been educated now as I had to go and have a bit of a Google after I read this as before I knew nothing about pine nuts except there they were on the back of a jar of pesto. Thank you @Mrs.O'Leary'sCow

 

[Norest4thewicked]

@therhydler No, not tried those yet. Guess who's going to Waitrose tomorrow

You're welcome @JustAboutDone. I hope you get the chance to try some

I put cashew because of taste ( I like them salty and warm) but I literally try and add sliced almonds to everything I can (even ice cream) for health reasons lol

 

[BjartNO]

mmmmmacadamias

 

[stellabelle]

I voted cashew because @JustAboutDone was not an option

I like them all, but I'm partial to walnuts.
Around the time when I was born as part of a reforestation program the ...township? I don't know what's the equivalent in English, would plant a tree for every child being born. I got a walnut tree.
It's still there near my hometown and it's grown enormous, the nuts themselvels are always full of worms because it's not tended to but I visit it regularly to this day.

Aw that's nice. There is a walnut tree in my grandparent's garden, the walnuts from it taste amazing
