Mara Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) With the exception of pistachios and macadamias, don't like 'em. In particular I do not like them in things, although I won't eat them straight up either. Usually I will pick them out of pastry, like brownies or muffins. I damn sure will pick them out of any cold salad (like chicken salad, for example. I'll finish a serving of chicken salad and there will be a neat little pile of walnuts or pecans or almonds left on the plate, next to the celery pieces). It's mainly the texture. It's just weird to me, and they SQUEAK when I chew them (especially almonds) and that kinda squicks me out a little.

circumstantial tree Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I love cashews, walnuts, and dried peanuts. I can't think of any that I don't like. I might be a bit selective though if it's part of a recipe of some kind. Sometimes, I like brownies with nuts, sometimes I just want strictly brownies.

I like caramel cashew ice cream and chocolate macadamia nut ice cream, but In brownies, cookies, cake and stuff like that I generally do not like them at all. I do like them in salads and Chinese food (like Kung Pao or cashew chicken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 By themselves, I like peanuts... and that's about it. Oh, and soybeans. Those are great too. And wasabi peas. But I actually do enjoy nuts in foods, even like walnut brownies and things. Also, pecans in pie or salads... mmm... or a nut topping on ice cream. That's the best! A little bit of salty to go with the sweet. And I also like sunflower seeds (do those count?) or soybeans in salads. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yeah if you offer me a brownie with nuts, you will get the death stare from me. Do not - I reapeat, DO NOT - ruin a perfeclty soft, moist chocolately concoction with friggin nuts that will be stuck in your teeth until your next meal.

nobodys hero Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I like most nuts except pistachios, and I really like cinnamon pecans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Love almost all kinds, in food and by themselves. Don't like peanuts with skin on, though. Walnuts and brazil nuts are probably my least favorite, but I still like them. I had macadamia nut pancakes with sliced pineapple and coconut whipped cream at Denny's last Friday. O. M. G. YUM!

ColdFireYYZ Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I love all kinds but I can't stand deserts baked with nuts. Brownies with nuts are horrible. My favorites are Brazil nuts, walnuts, cashews and pistachios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go2wrk@95974 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Peanuts are the ticket..When I go to a ball game, It's absolutely mandatory that before I go to my seat, I stop and get 2 dogs, with all the added ingredients (mustard,catsup,tons of onion's,and sliced pickles), bag or 2 of peanuts, and a brew or 2! That HAS to take place, otherwise the whole event/night gets screwed up..BAD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I've been reading that nuts every day helps with controlling type 2 diabetes so I make sure to have some on my cereal and snack on some later on. 2 handfuls a day supposedly helps with controlling blood sugar levels as well as keeping chlorsterol down.

Ancient Ways Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 love 'em all. especially walnuts, pecans and almonds. Biggest problem with them is the salted ones are always way too salty. I never add salt to food and most restaurant food tends to be too salty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Megadon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Nuts are yummy. alone, in salads, (though I'm not partial to them in chicken salad) in baked goods, (even brownies) and in candy. Love almonds I think most of all (Almond Joy anyone?) and love smoked almonds from the can OOH! delish. Followed by cashews and Brazil nuts.

GeddyRulz Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I love 'em all, but especially cashews - which are probably the least nutritious of all of them. Almonds are the perhaps the best for you, but in controlled amounts. (That goes for all nuts.) And I love cracking and eating shelled unsalted peanuts. My little boy is allergic to all nuts, so they get hidden in my house and I only bring them out after he's gone to bed. I also eat them at work.

Great for snaking. Better for you than potato chips, and they stick to your ribs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
