I hate nuts. I'm not allergic to them.

Everything about them is wrong, I've never had food that contained nuts that wouldn't have been significantly better without them.

Chocolate with nuts - What was wrong with just the former

Nuts on their own - Might as well eat wood

Nutbars - gross.

Food with nuts is just bad, and the sooner we move on from this dated cultural institution the better.

    Nutritious food that grows for free on trees? What could be better?

    Peanut Butter and Nutella

    'Might as well eat wood.'

    I wish wood tasted that good.

    Yes, you guys have created some truly unpopular posts

    Well its certainly an unpopular opinion I'll give you that. Nuts are fantastic in both flavour and nutritional value.

    Chocolate peanuts are heavenly, and a good peanut brittle is class. Fuck you, with your shite opinion.

    Nuts on their own - Might as well eat wood

    Depends how old they are and/or how they were shipped. My local bulk store recently switched almond suppliers and the new ones are soooooo much better (from California to Spain). It's like night and day... before it was like eating gravel, but it was fine because that was just what gravel tasted like... but the revelation that almonds can actually taste like almonds is, well... I can never go back. Walnuts are not wood, fresh walnuts are bomb. Pecans are AMAZING with raisins. Almonds are total shit unless you can find the good ones from the good Spanish supplier.

    That’s a good point. I’ve noticed that almonds in particular loose their freshness, their flavor, quickly

    Upvoted because I'm jealous. I can't have nuts in the house because twin is allergic to tree nuts and I love her just enough to remove all them from the house so I can't cross contaminant anything accidentally. Would be easier if I hated them but boy I miss walnuts.

    I was the healthier baby and now the 'healthier' adult. Er, my immune system was better at least. I an not healthy lol.

    Twin always reacted much stronger to the cats than I did so they got a full workup as a kid. The tree nuts started at pine nuts but expanded over the years.

    Cause quite often I love my twin! Sometimes I'd like to throw them into low earth orbit but not over the nuts!

    Love them. I don't find them woody tasting. My daughter's girlfriend is allergic to nuts so I don't cook with them much now (they are living here) and I miss them.

    I don't usually just want a handful but they make food better not worse.

    Walnuts or pecans, such a pleasant texture in cinnamon rolls or banana bread, cookies.

    Almonds are delicious with green beans.

    Cashew butter makes better cream of mushroom soup than cream does, and I say this as a lover of cream, milk, cheese.

    They are high in calories and nutrition for something that grows on a tree, too.

    Yep, they kinda taste woody. What's wrong with eating wood tho? Trust me, if I could actually draw nutrition from wood, I would xD

    But also, nuts have hella different texture. Only nut I hate is pistachio as of now, didn't taste them all after all.

    Nuts are a vehicle for salt.

    Pesto sauce is pretty great.

    Counterpoint: pistachios. Just the shell without the pistachio nut would be a lot less interesting.

    Upvoted cause I heavily disagree with this. Cashews and almonds are the best snack ever. Almond Joys are the best chocolate candy bar.

    Nutella, nuff said.

    To compare them to eating wood is absurd. Your taste palate must be ruined.

    So I tried to think of the top three things that I really enjoy with nuts in them:

    1. Ice cream with hardening chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts sprinkled on top (sooo good)
    2. Almond Roca (toffee plus chocolate plus nuts)
    3. Whitefish with almonds on top. (I know I'm not describing this very well, but I've had several fish with nuts on top that have been truly outstanding.)

    I hate nuts in & on food. But I love eating nuts by themselves. I am very picky about the type of nuts I like. Nuts are actually super good for you.

  • source
  • [–] 1 point 10 months ago (2 children)

    I like pretty much none of them in my foods or deserts.

    Some flavors of almonds or pistachios are straight fire, tho. They gotta have a flavor added, though.

    Overall I disagree (so upvoted), but I do have to agree that chocolate is generally better without nuts in it.

    My ex-monster-in-law used to make this candy that was amazing. Simply chocolate coated peanuts but the critical ingredient was salted cocktail peanuts. They had the perfect salt and texture to perfectly complement the chocolate!

    You might have a thing called taste, which is not really an opinion.

    You get to avoid things like the cyanide found in almonds by not eating nuts, hey.

    When I saw that post about fruits and chocolate, I immediately thought about chocolate bars that have nuts in them. Brilliant combination IMO, but apparently that’s a reasonably popular opinion.

    Anyway, if you were the emperor of the world and you found the person who invented nut chocolate, what would be their punishment?

    I agree with this with my exception being peanut butter which I love. My favorite snacks always involve peanut butter.

    But plain nuts are gross. And I’m sick of everyone’s instance on putting nuts in salad 🤮
