I'm really enjoying my nuts at the moment, especially the non-salty kind.
All kinds really, mixed in with chocloate and raisins, organic - prefer it if they're shelled though.
So, specifically, cashew nuts and pistachios....and, even though they're not technically nuts, I've been eating sunflower seeds as well.
So, what's your favourite nut and how do you like it?

They sound like tough nuts to crack.
What am I on about?

My friends are all nuts, and most of them drunks. And if they're not nuts, then they're retired nuts, and that might be the hardest nut.

I looked it up (wiki) because it was bugging me and apparently coconuts aren't nuts but are classed as a dried fruit. I had a coconut yesterday incidentally and it was possibly the easiest coconut I have ever cracked. Good hammer blow, shell split and peeled off the coconut.
In a vain attempt to keep the nut thread going...what's the hardest nut to crack? Brazil nuts get my vote I think.

I'm pretty sure coconuts are nuts, but I've stopped calling them coconuts since they were referred to as 'bear eggs' on Shooting Stars. It's good to speak about bear eggs with a bunch of pissed 16 year olds in a snooker club.

Are coconuts real nuts?

I actually though that this thread might be about that. It's a stupid magazine, although I like it for the little facts! And the chicks.
Salted peanuts are yummy. Pistachios and cashews are also a fave.
"I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut."
I haven't stopped thinking of that scene since I read the thread.
Watching Christoper Guest's performance in that movie and the extra scenes...especially where he's talking about the different accents and speech patterns the Pomford County boys have is like watching a great Jazz musician finding that point between reality and utter otherworldy playing....totally mindblowing. |

They are great with beer aren't they? Which is best with beer though, nuts or crisps (potato chips)?

Cashews! How could I forget?
And I admit I've not tried lamb that way, but you've just made me hungry. We once did a really nice dish for Christmas with figs that was unmatchable, or nearly. I'd put it on par with lamb on the spit and some of my aunt's tzatziki.

Oh yes, roasted macadamia nuts are the best. My uncle had a macadamia orchard on his farm, it is damn tricky cracking them open without spoiling the flesh.
Cashews are good too. Ground cashew, basil and olive oil = super pesto.
Roasted sunflower seeds for cooking - slow cooked leg of lamb with yoghurt honey and roasted sunflower seed......................

I love any nuts with one exception: chestnuts.
Nice dry almonds, unsalted walnuts, of course pistachios, oh, and who could resist macadamians? I was in Hawaii and stocked up like a chipmunk.

Cashew nuts are my favourites, followed by pistachios and dry roasted peanuts. Salted peanuts are okay too but I can feel my arteries clogging when I eat them.
