Nuts

[Star]

I love all kinds of nuts. If I have to put some fat in my body, may as well make it good fat.

Peanuts, Cashews, Pistachios, Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Almonds

Problem is getting ripped off buying small quanitites at supermarkets when unable to get to the market.

What do people like and where do you buy them?

Cashews! Whenever my Mum goes to Sri Lanka I always get her to bring me back a big of 'em.

mmm... pistachios... almonds...

fruit markets are the best place to buy i find...

 

[campbell]

macadamia.Straight from the tree in the back yard, or pop them and roast really nice.

I also like Almonds and cashews.

Pecans and cashews

I get them from the market in Oakleigh. Pecans for around $23/kg compared to $30/kg for the packaged ones from the supermarkets. Can also get vanilla beans for $3 each

Peanuts, Cashews, Pistachios and Almonds are awesome. They're so bloody expensive though

Cashews, Macadamias and peanuts.

A supplier at our work also has started growing and selling nuts so we get them dirt cheap off him.

Peanuts generally, which is why occasionally browse the main AFL board. They go well with a few beers too.

Cashews are just TOO addictive, as are almonds.

Chucking some crushed peanuts into a satay always goes OK though, as long as you chuck them in before you eat them all.

Pistachios, peanuts and almonds.

But I get too addicted to pistachios...

Pistachios for mine - an uncle in the USA once brought a huge bag of Californian Pistashios to an ever so greatful nephew (not sure whether he could bring them into the country again though).

Speaking of these fine nuts (pistashios that is) a local deli here produced the finest snack i have had in ages - blocks of milk chocolate, Pistashio Nougat.

I love nuts. Umm. Perhaps I should rephrase that.

I like cashews in Chinese stirfries (made a nice one the other night), all nuts by themselves, nuts mixed with seeds and dried fruit as a snack ... it's all good.

Macadamias the most but any nuts are good

I especially like the nuts on sundaes and ice creams

 

[coxon]

i should also add pine nuts to my list...

lightly roasted, sensational for some of my stir-fries...
