Don't like eating nuts just by itself. Always have to be with something:
Peanut - Honey roasted, or served with a Chinese dessert douhua (豆花)
Almond - Ice cream topping, thinly sliced
Macadamia - Macadamia nut cookie, with or without chocolate
Walnut - Ice cream topping
Hazelnut - Thought there was only hazelnut coffee...pass
Cashew - Honey roasted or salted is nice
Pistachio - OK, this is the only one I would eat plain but not very often...maybe salted
Pecan - Pecan Pie, for sure
Chest Nut - No, not a fan

I bought a package of honey roasted pistachios once. When I grabbed my first bite, I noticed that it was just sprinkled with sugar. Sure enough, on the back of the label, the ingredients listed were “pistachios, sea salt, and sugar”. So much for “honey roasted”!  |

I'll have to keep an eye out I've had chocolate covered cashews.... don't recommend Strangely enough, Honey Roasted Cashews is hard to find...don't know why. Go into a supermarket you can find the Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts, but the cashews are a rarity. I think (and its been a long time since I've bought it) you can find it in Walgreen's...at least I think that's where I usually buy it from. Have to put this on my shopping list, now that we're talking about it. |

I would get Ralph Nader on this, he advocates for this exact thing, misrepresentation! (At least I think he still does this.) |

I am nuts with nuts, always have a few varieties around, and snack on them all the time.
My order of preference:
Macadamia - Mauna Loa Dry Roasted only
Cashew - salted, or honey roasted
Pistachio - with shell; the ones without shell taste funny to me
Walnut - honey glazed, or in cake
Peanut - plain, dry roasted, honey roasted, in shell, ...
Pecan - only in pecan pie
Chest Nut - freshly roasted but only when caught in the mood
Hazelnut - only in chocolate bar

My COSTCO/Sprouts/Trader Joe's grocery bill is really high, primarily due to the high cost of nuts.
Almonds ≈ $3.99-$6.99/lb
Walnuts ≈ $3.99-$6.99/lb
Pistachios - I forget
Macadamia - I forget
Cashews - I forget
One Christmas, I asked my mom what she wanted and she said "Brazil Nuts," which was roughly $18.99/lb. Holy smokes, mom!
Salmon, trout, shrimp, etc. are also very expensive, in the $9.99-$11.99/lb range.

Also the peanut is technically not a nut, it is a legume. Cashews, walnuts, and almonds aren't nuts either. They're drupes. The almond "nut" is really just the center part of the pit similar to a peach pit. Cashews are really odd with an "apple" (technically an accessory fruit) with a single seed. The fruit/shell around the "nut" is pretty nasty. It's related to poison ivy/oak and contains urushiol. They have to be cooked in some way or else it will be irritating, and "raw" cashews aren't really raw. /__opt__aboutcom__coeus__resources__content_migration__mnn__images__2017__11__Cashew-hanging-from-tree-c96ea1cd9e964c55b5cca1ee41d244c5.jpg) |
