Lol. I didn't get this at first, so I didn't ignore you -- I was thinking. I knew there was a joke in there, but I was lost. I think I may have started a fire between my ears. This was funny once it clicked.1 -

I was also going to say Pistachios; I can't believe no one has mentioned them yet. I buy the big container of unsalted mixed nuts from Sam's Club. Definitely a fan of pistachios and almonds
I completely forgot about pistachios! I love them too -- I inhale a pack if I get it, but I never think to buy them! Poor, forgotten pistachios.0 -

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the bowl of nuts in the shell we always had sitting out: filberts (another name for hazelnuts), almonds, walnuts, pecans, and Brazil nuts. Loved cracking and, in the case of pecans and walnuts, picking out the nutmeats. Almonds were the easiest, Brazil nuts the hardest. When cleaning out Mom's house last summer after she passed away, I grabbed her nut bowl and filled it with nuts this Christmas. Tradition must continue!
That sounds like an awesome Christmas tradition. I don't know why nuts and seeds taste so much better out of the shell! I think it's because it feels like you worked for it.RandiNoelle wrote: »I've never met a nut I didn't like. I've even come to appreciate the simple peanut. I used to pick 'em out of every nut mix.
Pecans are my childhood fav. I adore pistachios and almonds. I wish macadamia and hazelnuts weren't so expensive. Cashews are good only in small amounts. I've made myself sick on those a couple times. They're super rich to me.
They give you SO MANY peanuts in those mixes, I guess because they are cheaper.I love every kind, roasted and salted.
But they never fill me and I never feel like I've eaten anything of substance after I've had even up to an entire bowl of them.
So I don't really bother with them anymore other than to eat a few of them if they're offered to me socially, out of politeness.
They are good though. Very unique taste and texture - all of them.
They do to me, but I think it's all in my head. People say they have protein, and protein fills you up, so I look at it that way now.fitmom4lifemfp wrote: »Pecans, almonds, peanuts, macadamia nuts. Love all of them. Have to watch it though...so easy to for me overdo it, so I don't eat them to often (except for peanut butter - that's a daily treat!).
Peanut butter is the best thing for sliced bread and since sliced bread.
I'm buying this one of these days.

Even though I am on a Paleo diet, I still like all nuts and even the lowly peanut legume. The only one I don't like is the filbert / hazelnut (but I LOVE Frangelica). I love peanut butter and I eat a spoon full as a snack almost every day. I like my nuts as flours, fried, ground, roasted, raw, steamed, sprouted...
So paleoites (I made that up) can't eat nuts?! I'm ignorant about that diet.0 -

I agree. Very good taste!

I hardly ever eat nuts because to me their like chips and before I know it I've eaten 800 calories worth!
Just don't punch me, I don't want to be a salted. (ba dum tss). I think I'm funny too, apparently.cwolfman13 wrote: »Almonds...usually slivered in my breakfast oats.
That sounds good! I want oatmeal now (cold, rainy day here).HeliumIsNoble wrote: »If you live near an Aldi, you need to check out their Almond Chocolate Composé.

*Actual kitten, not swear filter.
Anything with dark chocolate and almonds has to be good. Unfortunately no Aldi's around here.1 -

Oh I forgot to mention them. Yep I like them as they are more work and I eat them slower!!1 -
Pecans! Just plain, or in a pie of course!1

@resler Can't forget pecan pie! Ever had a tassie? Those are my favorite because it's a more crust and less filing..0

What annoys me are that most of the "nuts" I like are actually seeds.1

Raw unsalted almonds. Out of the bag. In groups of ten.
Ten! TEN RAW ALMONDS! Ahhh ahhh ahhhh.

Nuts are encouraged on the paleo diet except for peanuts as it is technically a legume...and for whatever reason, legumes are "bad"...1 -
It would have to be walnuts. I can make Vegan alternative meats with it by soaking them in water for about 6-12 hours and mix equal parts of Walnuts and portabella mushrooms in a food processor. Then cook in a skillet with seasoning. Great for spaghetti, tacos, etc...
I call it brain food. High in calcium and other minerals.3 -

Thank you for the info. That's why all the paleo recipes have almond butter...makes sense now.rashadlc1980 wrote: »It would have to be walnuts.

That sounds amazing! I will have to try that! When I make veggie meatloaf, I do something similar: Kidney beans, lentils, walnuts, and assorted veg (carrot, onion, bell pepper, celery) in the food processor. I don't soak the walnuts though.0 -
I cannot control myself around cashews. They are just TOO good.
So, I have roasted salted almonds. Every day. And I love them, but I can stop after eating the allotted amount. I find myself sneaking cashews.

Pistachios in the shell because they take a little time and effort to eat.
And Trader Joe's Sunflower butter.
And Trader Joe's Cookie....er....uh....nevermind.
Oooooo and cashews. Unfortunately I like those A LOT! 0 -
