Nuts

[29aholic]

Ditto

I love most kinds of nuts. Right out of the bag or can. But....put them in cookies, brownies, breads, etc., and I won't touch it!

My Dad loved black walnuts and for years every dessert Mom made had black walnuts in them. I will NOT eat anything with nuts in it, but I do like them salted out of can or bag (except Black Walnuts...never again)

I can't believe this thread has gone this far without some reference to Rocky Mountain Oysters!

I am too fond of nuts. They have a good deal of fat and calories and I used to eat a whole bunch of them at a time. I now have a few everyday since they are tasty and good for you. I know they aren't really nuts but I really like good boiled peanuts. I like cashews and Basmati rice together also. Walnuts are terrific on ice cream and pecan pie is just wonderful...I better stop now!

I like these... we used to call them Brazil Nuts when I was a kid.

We called them that too

Nope, i'm allergic to nuts
My throat swells and i can hardly breathe when i eat them.

My wife has that same problem

 

[Onomea]

I like macadamias best.

Did ya know that you can set a match to a sharpened Brazil nut, and it will burn like a candle?

Least favorite nuts: The mixed nuts on airplanes that they've been recycling through the onboard microwave for the last decade... (You need to choke 'em down with martinis if you actually decide to eat 'em.)

Since this is a somewhat nutty or quirky thread, I thought that I'd add one of my favorite "nut quotes" from a movie.

Barb... This one's for you!

From "Best in Show" mentioned on the quirky movie thread, Harlan Pepper (played by Christopher Guest married to Jamie Lee Curtis) uttered this riff about his childhood and naming nuts:

Harlan Pepper: I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.

Very interesting. When I was a kid, my siblings and I were the only children I knew who called them that.

I enjoy cashews, but I can't keep them around. I tend to pig out on them.

They make BeerNuts in the town I live in. Nothing better than going into the factory store and sampling some hot ones right out of the oven. I can no longer eat the peanuts, but sure like the cashews.

I took Charlie Sherrill some BeerNuts once and now he is hooked. Also gave some to Jim Supica and he seems to enjoy them also. I take 10 pounds or so whenever I go to Talladega or to SD hunting. They make great bribes.

NUTS..............i can't get enough of them.

top of the list.........cashew, almond, filbert, macadamia, then all the rest. they are all gooooood!

 

[Babalooie]

I like them, but can't eat them.

 

[bgrafsr]

I enjoy most all and any kind of nuts. My very favorite is to take a 20oz bottle of Coke Classic, drink down about an inch or so, then fill it with two of them "two for a dollar" bags of peanuts!

Any of you yankees that have never heard of this nor tried it, are really missing out!

I learned about that when I was in the military. Loved my pop with peanuts in in the bottle. I also love freshly roasted peanuts, but I can do without the "boiled" ones.

Hot nuts....

I even liked them in my college days... They had great party music with risque (for that time) lyrics!

Of course, most of the folks on the forum are not old enough to remember them.

Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts, also known as Doug Clark and his Hot Nuts, The Hot Nuts and, since the death of Doug Clark in 2002, Doug Clark's Hot Nuts, is a rhythm and blues, rock and novelty band that has played party and club dates for more than fifty years. Starting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, they became famous on the college circuit in the southeastern United States in the early 1960s for their risqué song lyrics and jokes, and for allegedly performing in various states of undress. Their signature song was Hot Nuts. Other songs that they were known by included: My Ding-a-Ling, Big Jugs (based on Big Bad John), He's Got the Whole World by the Balls, Baby Let Me Bang Your Box, The Bearded Clam (is a delicacy that won't be found in the deep blue sea), Gay Caballero and Two Old Maids. It has been said that the Hot Nuts were the inspiration for the Otis Day and the Knights group in the movie Animal House. Their first album had a picture of the band on the cover, with Doug Clark "flipping the bird" to the audience. All of the Hot Nuts albums were on the "Gross" label, a subsidiary of Jubilee Records created solely for the band. Even though Jubilee published a line of "party" records with risqué material, the Jubilee name did not appear anywhere on the Gross albums.

That was good!

 

[red14]

Seeds, nuts, or legumes?

[samIam]

I like them in a box.
I like them with a fox.
I like them in a house.
I like them with a mouse.
I like them here or there.
I like them anywhere.
I do like Nuts.
Sam I am.

 

[BigG-n-Tn]

Do you like nuts or nutlike seeds to eat?

I like both and have both within arms reach. A stash of "punkin" seeds and some smoked almonds. I'm a cheese eater too which goes hand-in-hand if you ask me.

 

[29Wheelgunner]

My doctor recommended eating almonds everyday. No problem.

Hold your horses...

It's coming to a thread near you soon, I'd imagine.


The one thing that I love to do with salted peanuts is buy one of those cane sugar coca-cola from south of the border (the ones in the 12oz. glass bottles) and take one sip out of it and then fill it with those salty peanuts.

I know that practices like that above are out of style, but I've never been one to let such a good thing die.

Roasted Almonds have to be my favorite .....
