Favorite type of NUT?

[That One]

I ate a HUGE bag of KP salted peanuts when I was 15 and spent all night vomming them back up again - didn't eat peanuts again for 10 years, nothing worse than feeling all the undigested peanut bits coming back up again I can stomach them again now - I quite like mixing a bag of dry roasted with a bag of salted and eating them that way.

Fast forward good few years and I started getting Graze boxes of which nuts are a major major ingredient . I think pecans were the first I braved.

Sorry but those boxes are ridiculous! I binned mine off last year.

SHITTY EMPTY CARBS DRESSED UP AS A HEALTHY OPTION.

There's like 400kcal per box. I could have a packet of crisps and a mars bar for that.

That reminds me of my first run in with vodka orange, aged 15 (at my parents' house warming and entirely encouraged by them!). Even now, the very thought of that combination makes me feel slightly queasy and I truly can't bear even smelling it.

I've binned my Graze box as well. Although I had my settings to rarely send me anything with nuts in, as I'm not overly fond of any really, other than peanuts, macadamia and pistachio.

I just think they are quite expensive for what you get. And I ended up eating them on top of everything else, rather than instead of.

Graze was a brilliant idea but the stuff you got delivered (for whatever reason it may have been) were just plain CRAP.

Brazil nuts are the VERY DEVIL to crack, aren't they? From memory, anyway. They were always the ones left in the bowl at the end of Christmas.

Aren't they supposed to be very good for low level depression? I have a friend who has been having a few a day for years.

They are rich in Selenium. I have no idea if that helps depression.

I think they are delicious - really creamy (if one can use that word to describe a nut) but taste awful if they are stale.

Like Mats, I don't think there is one nut I dislike. Least favourite would probably be the cashew but I love that too really.

I don't understand the hate for peanuts. Roasted in their shells, they are amazing.

Oh I still enjoy my Graze box. Yes, they're overpriced for what they are, but I'm happy to pay for the novelty of getting it delivered to your door, and not knowing what you're getting week to week.

This was my problem really, open the box up and SHOVEL IT IN while snacking on other bits at the same time. It was hardly filling and I think they've lost their way slightly. My brother got a box on Monday with BOSTON BREADSTICKS feat. a BBQ RELISH which was about 5 tiny breadsticks with a BBQ dip.

I love how the box on the homepage seems to suggest each punnet is OVERFLOWING with HEALTH and VITALITY.

Chocolate covered walnuts and honey roasted peanuts *DIES*

All of the above covered in chocolate or honey roasted.

Accept pinenut i dont think I've had that.

This thread has caused me to go in search of nuts and come back with yoghurt covered peanuts & raisins

Still there is no nutrition information on the packet so that means no calories

[big ron]

Brazils are always the first to go from the Christmas bowl round THESE PARTS <3

I havent seen a bowl of nuts at christmas for YONKS

[POP!]

Just had my first Brazil nut and it was wonderful and it might beat the walnut as my favorite

[Commotion]

I like all nuts but my favourites are macadamia nuts - if I buy a box of them then I know that they will be eaten at 1 sitting.

That's why I try to buy reduced food. Less calories

In terms of Graze boxes, I cancelled all future deliveries the other week after one turned up with a TEA BAG

Pistachios and almonds for me! Also love cashew nuts, but they make me feel sick afterwards.
