    Unfortunately I don't like nuts! Eating peanut butter is as close as I ever get. I know people always suggest nuts as a good way to get protein and I am trying to eat more protein, but I just don't like eating them :(
    I'm a reluctant vegan so I really need nuts for my lack of protein

    I love them all, actually... oh! no, I lied, I hate macadamia by itself... :sick:
    ewww I forgot about macadamia! totally not a fan

    I :heart: macadamias!

    Not a big fan of walnuts or pecans either. Oh, and not so keen on Brazil nuts by themselves.
    i think what I hate about macadamia nuts is that I don't like sweet stuff and I've only had them chocolate covered or in cookies

    are there any non dessert dishes that use them?


    I normally just eat them raw or roasted. I also use them in stir-fries and salads (like cashews or peanuts).

    I've just been eating them all since I was a child, so I've just loved them forever! I use to get big bags of mixed nuts (in shell) at the store, and loved cracking them all open and eating them. Oh and I totally forgot about Filberts! They are like hazelnuts, but look like mini acorns (in shell). LOVE THEM! :heart:

    okay correction (cause Im a bit retarded): Filberts = hazelnuts. Could only picture them with their shell on in my head and went blank. So yes. I love hazelnuts. Alot.

    I work with a few I'd rather not. :bigsmile:

    I don't like pine nuts. They remind me of turpentine.

    I like almost any nuts, though I couldn't see myself eating a lot of walnuts on their own (great added to a salad for extra protein though) and I'm not a great fan of Brazils.
    Re macadamias - they are fabulous! Not chocolate covered, just plain - delicous!

    i like most of them. but im not keen on macadamias or hazelnuts on their own. hazelnuts are only good in chocolate or flavouring for coffee. Macadamias just taste of fat to me

    I love walnuts, pecans, pistachios, almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, I can't recall if I've had pine or brazil, but I'm always eating nuts for snacks cuz I have a problem meeting my daily calories and nuts r pretty high...I don't like peanut butter much unless its a candy like reeses or those peanut butter eggs, etc. I get sliced almonds for salads... winco has those bulk food section where u can get nuts n bulk and have a lot of different choices.

    I cannot stand peanuts. EW EW EW EW EW! They can fully kill a meal.

    I do like Delish brand peanut butter - but that is more sugar than peanut. Lol.

    In NZ, you don't often find Reeses, but I do enjoy those.



    I looooove macadamias, almonds, hazelnuts, brazil nuts. Just NOT peanuts. =)
