It's time to take a break from the politics and have some REAL hateful intolerant discourse. It's time for a friday Snack Off. Everyone loves nuts as a great and nutritious super snack. Which nut do YOU fancy above all others?? Which nut do you love sooo much that everyone who dislikes it, or even prefers another nut, could only be a gigantic idiot??
YES I KNOW PEANUTS ARE BOTANICALLY DEFINED AS LEGUMES. Culinarily, peanuts are nuts and if you don't agree with that fact, you aren't welcome here.
It's time to put your cholesterol ratios on the line and SNACK OFF SMACKOFF! GO NUTS!
-
Cashew and it is absolutely hilarious if anyone chooses anything else.

the inventor of the peanut (mr peanut) wears a top hat, monocle, and some badass shoes and uses a sweet cane.
none of the rest of these nuts have a suave mother rough rider backing them up.

ChiCat nut rankings

2. Almonds like what Gooch posted
3. Pistachios
4. All other nuts. lol @ Cashew "I'll have a peanut, but make the texture a little worse and hold the flavor. K, thx"

it's waaaaay too late on a friday to add brazil nuts to this poll and to get 5 pages full of MIR being upset.
-
no cornnuts? wow. the snack off has really gone downhill after daris sold it to stevesie and puni.

WHAT NOW

I voted for pistachio before macadamia was added :frown: someone who would vote for pistachio please vote for macadamia for me

For sure Pecans.
Also, the beginning of this thread encouraged me to actually see what was going on in the Birther pit. Just confirmed why I never go in there.

Pistachio FTW

I like all the nuts on the list except I never even heard of a filbert until I just googled it.
-
i somehow have lived in kansas for a while and had never heard of the opcat form of brazil nuts until a few years back - receptionist at work just casually dropped it in a crowd. like, what?

Almonds, just the plain raw almonds. The roasted and flavored nuts can GTFOOMF.

that avatar/tagline combo, wow
-
but for realz candied pecans is the only legitimate answer here folks.
These are great on a salad with some blue cheese, red onion, and balsamic. Add a few slices if pear to put it over the top.
-
cashews are obviously the most delicious but i feel kinda fat for picking them
-
my current prediction is that the snackoff will hit rock bottom in a month or two at which time i will buy it back, build it up again and then sell it a second time for another profit. rinse, wash, repeat.
-
cashews are like the nut equivalent of the delicious meat butter fat on a perfectly cooked brisket.
and they dangle off a fruit like high T glands
-
The choices should be:
1. almond
or
2. I recently had a head injury and will eat whatever shitty non-almond nut my caretakers will feed me.
-
To be fair, I eat almonds the most. But cashews are by far the most delicious. LOL at pistachios. "Let me just crack this cement shell open with my teeth for this teeny tiny nut inside." They're a poor man's sunflower seed.
-
the salt and the sharp shells of the 'stachios hurt my finger tips. If I were a self harm addicted masochist, I would probably have picked them, they are quite tasty.
-
Pistachios are my #2. If I did indeed have a brain injury and couldn't judge for myself which nut I should be snacking on (almonds) then I would subconsciously hope, deep down in my ID or something, that the slop put in my mouth would be pistachios.
-

Pro tip: for those hard to crack pistachios, use a half shell from the discard pile to pry that sucker open. Leverage, my friend.
-
i just use a butter knife for crack'n

I picked almonds
Would have been lol if deez was an option tho

how come they don't make all the flavors of roasted cashews? is it because they are already perfect as-is and cannot be improved upon? is it because people would literally kill each other for a crack at a wasabi soy sauce smoked cashew?

I am pretty sure Macadamia isn't really a nut, it is a lump of sugar and egg that doesn't mix into the rest of the cookie batter and bakes harder than the rest of the cookie and just tastes decent when there also happens to be white chocolate in the batter.

Brazil nuts are pretty fantastic, though. Good thing they are a seed and not a nut and that some guy in Brazil was stupid when naming it and I don't have to consider it at all during this snackoff.
Spracne, go ask the Phog. It's super racisty. In fact, just go set up this snack off there and I bet it comes up as needing to be an option in the first 10 posts or so.
-
also pistachios are the best and if you boobs can't spend the .5 seconds it takes to open the shell then you really don't deserve them anyway. this argument reminds me of the whole i eat boneless wings because i don't want sauce all over my face, hands, hair and ceiling. my goodness.

Nomenclature
Brazil nut seeds in shell
Depiction of the Brazil nut in Scientific American Supplement, No. 598, June 18, 1887
Despite their name, the most significant exporter of Brazil nuts is not Brazil but Bolivia, where they are called almendras. In Brazil, these nuts are called castanhas-do-pará (literally "chestnuts from Pará"), but Acreans call them castanhas-do-acre instead. Indigenous names include juvia in the Orinoco area.
Though it is commonly called the Brazil nut, in botanical terms it is the seed from the fruit of this tree; a nut is a hard-shelled indehiscent fruit.
-

1. It's "reins", but I'm not surprised by your similarities with fanning.
2. Just a heads up, Daris "taking the reins" of a snack thread means he takes me out to dinner and I tell him a few snack-off smackoff ideas and then he uses one of those and forgets the rest until the next time he takes me out to dinner to discuss the next snack-off smackoff thread.

Salt and pepper pistachios are pretty good

Well this Brazil nut episode has churned up a really uncomfortable moment at grandmothers house from my youth so thanks everyone.
