What's your favourite kind of nut?

#1 Post by Artemis » Tue Mar 26, 2013 5:12 pm

For me, it's a tie between brazil nuts and cashews.

Raw almonds and walnuts. They're not really raw because legally they have to undergo some kind of pasteurization, but as close to raw as possible. Not just as tasty food but as nutrition. they've got all of the omega 3s and such, and not too much saturated fats and shit. Macadamia nuts, for instance, are on the other end of that and aren't really health food (though tasty).

I also like peanut butter, the crunchy natural kind. Put that on some multi-grain bread with some all-fruit berry spread, toast it a little, and it's goddamn tasty. Sadly that's more cooking than creep is willing to do. :hehe: If I did the same thing but used Wonder Bread, grape jelly, and Skippy, it would probably make me gag.

Pistachios right now. A couple weeks ago picked up a large bag and went through it over a few late night movie marathons. Now it's like crack for me, i'm going through a bag every couple days and my finger tips are all chewed up picking the shells apart.

Fresh cracked pecans. So far this year at least. I got a huge free bag of them in Alabama at a B&B, from the lady's front yard.

Actually, any nut EXCEPT hazel nuts, I only like it in Nutella form. Not in nut form

I admit, even with all my foodie pretensions, I love Skippy on white bread. That shit is ridiculous. It's probably a cup of sugar. :lol:

Regardless, that high glycemic index bread is just going to convert to sugar anyway (I say as I'm throwing down alcohol).

Makes creep bust a fluffernut. :lol:

Enjoy your diabetes, creep. :wavesad:

My son had Skippy once...that was when we discovered he has a severe allergy to nuts of any kind...poor kid has never had PB&J and because we can't have nuts in the house I havent' had PB&J in YEARS... :cona:

That being said...peanuts, almonds, cashews...hold the fuck up...are we actually talking about nuts...WTF has happened to us??? :lolol:

A co-worker once told me about a restaurant experience she had somewhere in the southern US(can't remember where at the moment). She decided to order some pecan pie. The way she pronounced it was 'peecan'. The waitress corrected her pronounciation this way: "a pee can is something you put under your bed. a pecan(pronounced p'khan) is what we put in our pies. " :lol:

Yes. I work with a gentleman from NOLA (born & bred) and he is always correcting the NY'ers

We say "pee-can"

He says "PAh-Kahn"
