What's your favourite nut?

[ChefJune]

I voted for pecans, but I love walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds just as much, depending on the situation and the recipe. also pignoli.....

oddly, many of you mention recipes and cooking with them, mine NEVER get that far, the kitchen door is totaly bypassed
my wife has to BEG me to let her have pecans or such for a recipe/cake

 

[Jikoni]

Groundnuts for sure.

jikoni, avoiding many jokes here , what are groundnuts?

 

[Uncle Bob]

I'm guessing....peanuts!!

 

[Stinker]

I chose pecans because I was thinking about pecan pies and candies. Also like walnuts and cashews. DH and I snack on almonds. Ok, ok, let's make this easy...all of them. I'm a nut, so what.......I'm crazy! lol

My favorite to sit and eat is the pistachio, but I love to use pecans in baked goods and toasted in salads.

Here are what groundnuts look like.These are shelled and eaten raw or put in a pan and fried without oil. I guess Uncle Bob is right, they are what peanuts are before they are shelled,salted and packed.

Love Almonds. So glad there is a Trader Joe's in my neighborhood! There a great source for my daily Almond fix, (not to mention the 2buck chuck!).

I just LOVE almonds, and it's sad that my mom is allergic. Almond Joys are one of my favorite candies. My ex boss bought smoked almonds for one of our products at work, and I was always snacking on them! They go good on ice cream, especially salted....I used to work at a Dairy Queen....Chocolate and almonds, especially dark chocolate is great!!

I love pistachios the best, but they are all yummy.

 

[Mrs. Cuillo]

My all time favorite is pistachio but runners up are cashews and almonds.

Omigosh, too many good ones to choose. But, if pressed, I'd have to say...Buck. If you ever meet him, you'll know what I mean.

 

[eatsOats]

I eat raw almonds almost every day. Plus, I'm madly in love with natural almond-butter.

I like Brazil nuts, but my cat prefers pecan nuts. The shape of their shell means they behave un-predictably when being batted around the kitchen floor. They bounce of the cabinets at a crazy speed in all directions. Great fun!

 

[TATTRAT]

macadamias for me

 

[boufa06]

Pistachio, followed by cashew and almond.

Walnuts absolutely, I like them just the way they are..
