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.

    Upvote but hard disagree. Nuts are amazing. Plant one walnut tree get 1000s of walnuts every year that have a naturally long shelf life. They have lots of very healthy fats etc

    Similar for other nuts.

    Some of the postings in this Community are starting to get absurd. I’m going to make one that says I love murder and I hate babies next.

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

    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.

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

    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.

      because twin is allergic to tree nuts

      Why not get that treated? Leaving it untreated isn’t helping unless it’s not possible. Immunotherapy for this exists.

    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

        i’ve only had european almonds (afaik), but my experience was the older they were, the stronger their flavour was, the more they dry out, the stronger it gets

          I just remembered, the ones from cali were steamed or something, which turned them into gravel.
