I will be voting on Tuesday for the best nut, Feb. 5.

I am undecided as to which nut tastes best.

Next week I expect to vote for either pistachios or almonds.

Give me your best arguments for the best nut -- but remember your audience.

(FWIW, others in my family are also undecided nut lovers. My classmate is undecided, but likes walnuts.)

neither, you fool. everyone knows that honey roasted cashews are the tastiest nut.

oh for god's sake the best nut bar none is the macadamia nut.

Neither almonds nor pistachios are true nuts.

Mine.

Sorry, I had to.

Pistachios come from Iran, Almonds come from California.

It all depends on if you want to buy your nuts from a megomaniacal Dictator or an emotionless killing machine.

So pistachios are freedom suppressors?

Oh come one, Chris, don't be so picky.

I may be a huge pervert, but a nut tasting contest sounds dirty to me. hehe *runs away*

Seriously though I like Peanuts. :)

One day you will realize that raisins are the true force behind the small bite-size snack-food morsel subculture industry!
Oh...and there will be a reckoning!
A veritable Wreckoning!

Fuck that, all of them are good, damnit! Even the ones that aren't listed!

I love all nuts.

I like all kinds but a place around here called trader Joes (they have a few around the country) sells chili lemon and Habinaro. Great great nuts *Postashio's that is*

They're all great. I like a nice Brazil nut on occasion, along with cashews and pistachios. The rest are great too, but those are my favorites. :)

Edit: Also! If anyone's interested in how nut preference has changed over time, (at least Nationstates' nut preference) I might humbly refer them to my less-recent nut thread:

(Cashew won big, btw :p)

Cashews & pistachios are my favourites. Macadmias are good too. I really dislike walnuts, they have a nasty bitter flavour.

I prefer sultanas.

Guess what, guys? Hazelnut is the only candidate besides Peanut with a proven, widely known track record in the corporate world and lacks the illegal immigration baggage that dogs Peanut's campaign; Peanut might be strong in the South, but Hazelnut has the key states all wrapped up.

So, if you want a responsible candidate that's tough on the economy, tough on crime, and makes an effort to reach out to the international community, I'm going to have to say vote Hazelnut.

I don't really like any nuts at all.

Walnuts and Almonds are ok, I really should try Cashew nuts, and Peanuts are the work of the devil himself. Bleargh.

Since almonds and peanuts are the only nuts I can eat, I vote for peanuts.

LG is the best nut

:D

I like pistachios but there's something satisfying about eating walnuts. Mostly the cracking them one handed to relieve stress.

Hands down, I love me some pecan's, and I guess that comes from my Texas heritage, but my Ohio heritage cannot be ignored either: Walnuts hit the spot, they are a treat.

But if you're looking for exotic, delicious and really filling, look no further than the Brazil Nut, a true delight for the nut connoisseur. Pistachios, though, are quite a treat as well, even if they are really frickin' high fat. For maximum filling and flavor (although not exoticism) you've got to go for the cashew. I <3 cashews. And pecans.

Not a fan of nuts, really.

Pistachio nuts, i love them, good texture, good flavour. But not good if you're allergic to nuts.
But one better is the Coconut.
Salted peanuts are also good. Cashews have their moments, but pistachios are the best. One downside of them is taking time to take off the shell, they're very fiddly you know.

Call me a pedant but only four of those listed are true nuts...

Best nut: Cashew. Macadamia nuts aren't bad, once I get over the fact that chocolate-covered ones (which are sold like crazy in Hawaii) can kill my dog twice-over.

Worst nut: Dick Cheney.

LG is the best nutBut does he taste the best?

I bet he tastes funny..

I officially approve of this thread. :D

A wonderful parody but also an enjoyable thread of its own merit. Well done Il Ruffino!

I am going to say pistachio, almond, pecan and peanut (legume:confused:) are all really good. I used to really like walnuts, but for some reason they no longer give me the same *yummy* feeling; still, they taste good and I eat 'em up.

I'd say pistachios but not after I discovered their evil side. One night, entire 1 lb pack of pistachios fed itself to the helpless me, one nut by one laughing maniacally nut.

But does he taste the best?

:eek:

Almonds go great in anything sweet.

Cashews are just tasty.

And one brazil nut has your RDA of selenium. So why not. It's healthy and tasty.

Pistachios can be bitches. Especially when you get down to the end of the bag and you are left with the closed ones. Tell me that doesn't piss you off? Delicious and tasty until the end, when they screw you. Fuck pistchios.

And fuck peanuts too. What is this? We vote for a nut just because we are told it's a popular nut? What about tasting the nut and making your own decision? Ever notice which nut is left at the bottom of a mixed nut can? It's a peanut.

You know if you don't like the nuts you can donate them to your nearest elephant sanctuary.
I like Walnuts the most now i come to think of it, you get so much out of them, and they're pretty good for throwing at people who annoy me.:)

I don't trust nuts. I say, NO NUTS! You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. so I refuse to lower myself down to their level...

Only chocolate for me :cool:

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

What about chocolaty nuts? oh dear i got a bad mental image of that.

Cashew nuts. End of discussion.

You can just eat cashew nuts, add them to your dinner, put them on a cake, put them in... wait I'll stop there :D

Hey, you, I like you.

Cashews... then pistachios, then almonds.

I dont care much for the rets of them.

Nuts are basically all the same. I don't know why y'all bother to choose one in particular.

Voting for one just legitimizes a flawed process.

I picked you because you were the first to make this an abhorrent statement. Peanuts, contrary to popular belief aren't nuts: They're legumes. LEGUMES! I cannot count the number of times this mistake is made. Let me set the record straight: peanuts are not nuts. They are disgusting impostors. And communists.

On a more peaceful note, the only correct choice for nuts is almonds. Or, quite possibly, a guy who gets pissed off because people think peanuts aren't legumes. But I don't know anyone like that...

Nutella and banana bread? Together? I think I may be in love...

macadamia. ftw.

cashews aren't nuts (technically it's a fruit). At any rate, they just taste like water-logged peanuts. Which also aren't nuts (it's a legume).

which makes you a pseudo-nut lover and thus you should be banished from this serious discussion thread.
Away! Away with you, you freak! Away with your weird non-nuts and non-nut ways! Let only us nut-purists remain. I cast thee out!

Try slicing a banana down the middle while the skin's still on, making sure not not to cut all the way through. Spoon a liberal amount of Nutella into the incision, wrap the banana in tinfoil and pop it into a hot oven for a few minutes.

Heaven.

They're great for bonfires/barbecues too; just pop the tin-foiled banana into some of the cooler embers of the fire.

Maccadamiens are the best. Followed by Pistachios,Cashews,and Brazil nuts.

cashews aren't nuts (technically it's a fruit).
Although the cashew tree produces fruit, I believe what we commonly eat are the seeds of said fruit.

So, their 'cashew seeds', rather than 'cashew nuts'.

Are we talking Californian, Greek, Turkish, or Iranian Pistachios?

It makes a difference!

Exactly, up the rights for peanuts!
We will be recognised!
We wish great inconvenience to our opposition!
For the Salted ones!
For the chocolate ones!
For the 50% extra free salted peanuts!
Peanuts have rights even if they aren't technically nuts! We demand a vote of nuttyness!
I would advise allying our powers with the darker coconuts for wieght, and Walnuts for political support, then plant Pistachio mines deep in enemy lines and before they know it, they're cracked wide open for the salted revolutionaries!
That's my plan in a nutshell.;)

I firmly believe that peanuts have a right to be called "nuts" if that is their preference, and no-one should call the genuineness of anyone else's nuttiness into question!

Pistachios come from Iran, Almonds come from California.

It all depends on if you want to buy your nuts from a megomaniacal Dictator or an emotionless killing machine.Pistachios come from California too. Pistachios and almonds are serious money crops$$$. The only thing is you have to wait 7 years before you get a return on your investment. Iran has some of the oldest Pistachio trees in the world (that still produce nuts) some are older than a hundred years old. I hope if their is a war against Iran those 100+ pistachio trees are not harmed.

Why do you think Dubya wants to invade?

Why do you think Dubya wants to invade?Well I have only had California pistachios but I have heard those Iranian pistachios are damn good pistachios. Everyone worried about the price of oil but think of the price of nuts if we end up going to war with Iran. My friend was getting $5000 an acre for his pistachio crop and that was in 2003. If a war starts the price could be $50,000 an acre:). Fuck gold and silver I am investing in nuts.

Cashews it am!

To be fair Ruffy, the days not over yet

Cashews it am!

Okay but remember the percentages are wrong, i added them up and got 353.22%, how the hell do you get that for a percentage?
I think allowing people to choose more than one option ruins the results.
But yeah cashews is in the lead.
they are tasty too.

Iranians dye the pistachio shells red; I don't know why. When I was a kid, I always just assumed that was what color they were. I was a little shocked when pistachios stopped being red.

Some folks might pick all of them, others might pick only one of them, leaving an inbalance, and you end up with messed up percentages.
Whereas if you force them to choose one, they have to think harder, and if they're joking they can only mess up one of the options rather than all of them.
I think Walnuts are the best, or cooked chestnuts.

Your logic is not welcome here!

Er okay,
If people pick more than one result they will start thinking of all different sorts of food, and start threads on them, thus you lose people who could have potentially voted in your poll, but went elsewhere.

Or people will pick more than one nut just because they like nuts rather than actually saying which one is best.
So you could say they're all equally good, and then you need to eat all of them.
Or people will pick only one result, then feel sad because they couldn't pick other ones when they had the chance, then they start beating up other people who sell nuts because they remind them of their pain.
Is that better? i can't detect any logic in there.
