Cashews are not nuts, they are a seed that grows on the bottom of a fruit that looks like a pear. Peanuts are not nuts either. They are a legume like beans.
@cengland0 Well, if you want to get all technical, cashew pears aren’t fruits. By definition, a fruit has seeds. Cashew pears are accessory fruits—something that grows extra just because (like the non-core part of an apple).
@kostia Yes. The best hazelnuts are grown in my home state of Oregon. Trader Joe’s always carries them.
Most hazelnuts come from Turkey but they are an inferior variety used mostly in things like Nutella where the flavor is masked heavily and therefore largely irrelevant.
All of the above should’ve been a choice!
Growing up pistachios was what my mom always kept us stocked up with so they were my first favorite. The grandparents candy dish was always filled with candy coated chickpeas! Those were my second favorite! But I’d have to say that I’ve never had a nut I didn’t like! Yum YUM!
@jsfs Brazil nuts are the crappy cheap filler of the mixed nut world. I pick them out and throw them away. Macadamia nuts are only good as a carrier vehicle for chocolate.
Honestly, my favorite has always been Pecans.
I am really fond of Macadamia, Walnuts, and Brazil Nuts as well. The ones listed in the poll are like mid-tier at best.
I refuse to make that joke.
@yakkoTDI don’t worry, someone will.
@yakkoTDI
“Deez”?
YW.
@mehvid1 @yakkoTDI
@bmf @mehvid1 @yakkoTDI
Go ahead and make it. It’s not like this is “No Nut November” yet.
Pecan.
Pralines. Pie. Cookies.
Grandma’s house.

@cengland0 True, but this is ‘merica!
@cengland0
I never knew that!
Hey do you see how angry that middle guy is…
@Lynnerizer
@Lynnerizer He just heard about the 99 cent thing
@detailer @Lynnerizer Or that he’s not a nut.

Black Walnuts are the best. All other answers are wrong.
Noun or verb?
Filberts/Hazelnuts
@tweezak are filberts and hazelnuts the same thing?!
@kostia @tweezak Yes.

Pecans. Specifically, my in-house salted-before-dry-roasting pecans.
The one I gave your mother last night, Trebek!

@Lynnerizer This.
Nobody for Brazil nuts? Macadamia nuts? Though I am pleased to see pecans well represented.
@jsfs Brazil nuts are the crappy cheap filler of the mixed nut world. I pick them out and throw them away. Macadamia nuts are only good as a carrier vehicle for chocolate.
@jsfs @tweezak Granted, Brazil nuts aren’t the most tasty, but they’re super good for you, even eating just one!

@ircon96 @jsfs @tweezak I only have to eat one, and I’m set for life?
@tweezak
/giphy your opinion is bad and you should feel bad
@tweezak @weboh Not the image I was going for, but it’s a pretty good one!
@blaineg
It depends, are you on death row or something?
@tweezak @Weboh Brazil nuts with dates is a delicious snack
@jsfs those arw my Favs also. Plus walnuts
@zinimusprime
Don’t eat the ones with no dates; they’re probably expired.
What kind of Southerner would I be if I said ANYTHING but pecan!
@Tadlem43 And what kind of Yankee would i be if i didn’t pronounce it “PEE-can”?
@ircon96 lol
@Tadlem43 YES.
Macadamias and pistachios
Ah, yes. That time of year that makes OnlyFans content creators sad.
Donuts
@spallinger Damn. Now i want donuts!
@spallinger Dooooooonuts.
I find your lack of macadamia nuts disturbing.

Lug. When you need one, none of the others mentioned will do as a substitute.
NutRageous
Walnuts first
Pine nuts are really good too
I like most all nuts, cashews are towards the bottom.
