These are by far the nicest nuts...and those who disagree...have never tried them...but I am rarely able to get my hands on them...so have to settle for cashews...which I love as well

I *have* had macadamias.. I don't like them too much.

Pistachios and Taffel's Chili Nuts (I'm addicted to those).

Definately walnuts... a naive domestic nut, but I admire its presumption. A rich, complex texture with a mellow aftertase, and a shell that embodies power, strength, and brown.

Take a picture of yourself biting one and present it here and then it will be.

Damn, was about to post the answer 'left' as well... nuts... pistacios, in fact...

Peanuts. Salted peanuts. Yum.

Now, I must calarify that I do not like shelled pistachios, because that really just sucks the fun out if it. Part of the reason its so incredibly satisfying is because of the shell. Not as messy as a peanut, not as difficult as a walnut, and it doesn't require several thousand pounds of pressure, like a macademia nut.

Walnuts aren't that difficult with the proper equipment (read: sledgehammer)

I remember Nobby's Nuts, but I must have repressed the memory of watching the ads.

Memorable only for the somewhat ill-inspired slogan: Nibble Nobby's Nuts!

Brazil Nuts are my favorite with Cashews a close second.

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2003-12-30 11:33pm

Brazil nuts, hazel nuts, almonds.

And macademia nuts only with they're in cookies with white chocolate.

I prefer the left one as well, it hurts less.

I also rather like Southwest Airlines peanuts.

Corn nuts.

But really, it's:

Pistachios
Peanuts (honey roasted, baby)
Pecans

I'm evenly split on cashews and pistacios

Anyone ever have boiled peanuts???

Pretty popular in the south.....not bad, but not going to replace my favorites anytime soon

Cashews and pistacios. Walnuts are good, but I rarely eat them after I ate a lot of them and had trouble using the bathroom a year and a half ago.

Can't wait for ein's response...

Chashews or any form of cookie/brownie/sweet incorporating any kind of nut is good in my book.

Lt. Dan · Post by **Lt. Dan** » 2003-12-31 07:47pm

Cashews and pistacios for me. Mmmmm...Cashews...

Bill Door · Post by **Bill Door** » 2003-12-31 08:15pm

Cashew nuts and Pecan nuts (especially in Pecan nut pie

)

for me it's a three way split between macadamias, cashews and pistachios. and my right nut of course
