Is this a comprehensive list of nuts? Are there no exotic nuts, like the chantarelle/truffle of nuts?
I left out acorns.

My dad and relatives still call Brazil nuts by this very racist name...I thought that's what they were actually named for a long time & was roundly criticized when I used the term in public at age 10.

Wow, I thought my Dad was the only person who still used that term for Brazil nuts. I had forgotten all about it until just now, so... thanks?

Also, I think almonds get my vote, with macadamia and pistachio close behind. Dark chocolate covered almonds are a recent obsession of mine.
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 01:31 (sixteen years ago) link
MACAMADAMIAS!
― Drooone, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 01:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Macadamias are hella yum but way too $$$. They're pretty much unique in texture.
― Abbott, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 01:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Cashews are so tied with pistachios for me that I can't even vote.
― Beth Parker, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 01:55 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost: yeah, macadamia's are v $$$$.
They grow them in US?

Whoa, someone actually likes brazil nuts? I always thought they were just cheap filler for *mixed nuts* canisters.

Me too! So I voted Other (Nuts). I only eat nuts if they come with beer, but not those nuts you get in bars because everyone knows they have at least 3 different types of urine in them.
― Forgot My Pencil, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Cashews. Though I love most of these.
― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link
I can't eat macadamias or brazil nuts, but I like most other nuts. My favorites, though, have to be pistachios.

When i was on the road, we would eat brazil nuts constantly. If someone would see us eating them, they would--without fail--tell us the same story.
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link
ALSO A PEANUT IS NOT A NUT GUYS THX
Although they are the yummiest thing on the list (almonds are second). Which means I don't know what to vote for.

― Rubyredd, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 14:53 (sixteen years ago) link
If you're talking about eating straight-up nuts, not pecan pie or peanut butter etc., then I guess cashews or really good walnuts.

Where is the hazelnut love? Our local chocolatier makes a hazelnut square that's bittersweet choc layered with a thick hazelnut/choc paste. Oh lordy.

Marcona almonds are my new favorite (esp with rosemary) but they are very expensive so I don't get them very often. I tried to make some myself with ordinary raw almonds, olive oil and rosemary in a frying pan, but it didn't work out too well.
The racist brazil nut term was "N-word toes" which my father also used once in the 70s. He insisted that's what they were called though he knew "brazil nut" too.

That "Namin' Nuts" thing w/C. Guest is like the best thing ever....I think it's a deleted scene even! "Pea...nut, cashew nut, pistachio nut, RED pistachio nut..." And the best thing abt it is none of them are technically nuts.

What are those flat almonds?
― Beth Parker, Thursday, 2 August 2007 00:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Those might be the Marcona almonds I mentioned. They are smooth (no rough brown skin like many almonds) and have oil on them, enough to be noticeable in a clear plastic bag.
― nickn, Thursday, 2 August 2007 00:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I love them!
― Beth Parker, Thursday, 2 August 2007 00:29 (sixteen years ago) link
These results are crazy! Cashews would be way bottom on my list. And yes hazelnuts are great also on their own. Pine nuts not so much, but still fantastic.

If I don't consciously make a decision to stop, I could scarf a whole damn bag of pistachios. Is there any other foodstuff that's so conducive to non-stop eating?

Pistachios and cashews are my DEATH NUTS. Meaning that if I eat any, I go into anaphylactic shock. I'd have to vote for pecans, then.

WTF MAN BRAZILS RULE. Especially coated with yoghurt. If a nut ever deserved to be expunged from the face of the earth it is the walnut.
― xtc ep, etc (xp) (ledge), Monday, 8 November 2010 22:22 (thirteen years ago) link
it feels like there should be an alternative hierarchy of nuts based on what it's like to eat a whole bunch of them. like walnuts; they really suffer once you've eaten ten or fifteen. and brazils; that chalkiness becomes too much!
the momentum you develop while pistachio-popping would probably work in their favour, with this approach.

Also due to their high polyunsaturated fat content, primarily omega-6, shelled Brazil nuts soon become rancid.
