Squashy Nipples posted:Smart man. I love peanuts, I cook with four different kinds of peanuts in my shop. Delicious, and yet the cheapest nut by far. This is absolutely fascinating. (Not being sarcastic). We were in the Dordogne in the summer and it's a very strong walnut area. Walnut oil, walnut liqueur, walnuts in honey (amazing with local goats' cheese), walnut cake... That's good eatin'! It would be hard to rank nuts as I love all of them but macadamias are up there. Pecans ditto. I had some macadamia dust from some bulk-food shop macadamias (my son did the scooping and scooped up a lot of macadamia powder), and some raw cashews about to turn, so I toasted the cashews, sifted the fragments from some salted cashews remnants to get the salt out, and processed those with the macadamia powder to make an incredible nut butter.

Hazelnut is one of my favorites. I am actually going to be ripping out some useless shrubs and replacing them with hazelnuts. I love fudge, but every local place that has it is 'may contain wheat' territory so I don't get any bougie candy squares. I know cross contamination is a thing, but just one production area without it would be amazing. My homemade fudge was a pretty sticky affair, likely won't do that again soon.

I put in a bunch of American hazelnuts (so kind of a pain in the rear end for nuts since they’re small), hoping I’ll eventually get some out of the paws of the squirrels.

Nut ranking: 1. Walnuts (by a lot, I loooooove walnuts) 2. Peanuts 3. Pistachios 4. Pecans 5. Cashews 6. Almonds 7. Hazelnuts 8. Brazil nuts 9. Macadamia nuts . . . . . 6472. Chestnuts Seriously, maybe I've just never had a good one but all the chestnuts I've had have been wet and soft which is exactly what I'm NOT looking for in a nut. Boiled peanuts excluded because those own.

I don't get how someone could like walnuts that much and put pecans that low on the list. It's like an even more decadent walnut. Walnuts and pecans are the best nuts by far though. pecan #1.

My first encounter with wild American hazelnuts (beaked hazelnut to be precise) was camping and watching this utterly fearless chipmunk harvest them, and perch on our rock fire pit shucking and eating them. While the fire was lit. They must taste pretty good. New international store has a chestnut butter spread (Polish?) that I am tempted to try, but it is like 10 bucks for the jar. People doing anything fancy for Zombie Jesus day? I'm smoking a Costco leg of lamb, English cucumber salad, friend is doing 'something potato' to share, and I may do Brazilian pão de Queijo buns.

1. Peanuts (sorry, they are just so drat versatile! I love everything from spicy peanut stew to PB sauce on ice cream, to my homemade cracker jack) 2. Pecans 3. Almonds (might be showing by Italian side here, but best nut for baking) 4. Pistachios 5. Macadamias 6. Walnuts 7. Chestnuts 8. Cashews FF. Hazelnuts (I really dislike Hazelnuts, Nutella kind of grosses me out)

Squashy Nipples posted:1. Peanuts (sorry, they are just so drat versatile!

I have a lemon cake recipe and a chocolate recipe with almond flour that are so drat good that if he was cured tomorrow I’d still make them. We go through huge amounts of PB here. My wife in particular is addicted but we’ve also started cooking it with it quite a lot in SE Asian dishes.

Brawnfire posted:Yummy! Are they rancid, too? Alas no. (Really good, actually) We bought them to put into honey (which we bought too) but haven’t gotten around to it. I saw a recipe for a walnut mushroom shepherds pie and against my better judgement decided to try it. Not disgusting but I didn’t enjoy it. And my tongue still feels funny. I should have stuck to lentils.

I was disappointed in myself for cooking a poor meal - not for the execution (which I think was fine) but the recipe selection. My cooking skills were approximately this level https://www.instagram.com/reel/C30P8ZapPKj/?igsh=YW9vZjlmbGdrbXBs therattle fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Mar 30, 2024 |

Not a nut but I like sunflower seeds for snacking. The Soviet kind is the best, they’re black, more oily, and have a super thin shell. Much better experience than those gigantic striped sunflower seeds that are somehow no bigger than the small black kind inside. Unfortunately it’s hard to get the good sunflower seeds.

I made a "gently caress I gotta do something with these apples" pie and I threw some walnuts in to get rid of them and while it tasted great it looked just like ground beef. I like how soft walnuts are especially in with fruit. The same texture with mushrooms in shepherds pie sounds.... Unpleasant.

Mr. DnF always bitched when I'd put walnuts in baked goods, and I'd always tell him to shut up and get over it and if he didn't like walnuts he could bake his goddamn self. And then one day he was whining that he doesn't like the way they make his mouth tingle. And I was like... you loving dumbass, are you allergic? And when I told this story to his family it turns out half of them are allergic to walnuts, and they all agreed he's a dumbass. Anyway pecans are not a great substitute in my opinon.

Drink and Fight posted:you loving dumbass, are you allergic? Whenever parents ask me about nut allergies, my response is "Every surface in my shop is contaminated with peanuts AND tree nuts." Once, this little kid came in with his grandfather, and the kid's face starts swelling up immediately, just from breathing the air. I had to say something to the grandfather before he realized the gravity of the situation and left. Drink and Fight posted:Anyway pecans are not a great substitute in my opinon. No, they are not substitutes! As much as I like pecans, they serve totally different purposes in baking and candy making.

The world really does go into movie slow mo when you’re staring at a falling kitchen knife and half of your brain is wanting to reflex catch it and the other half is trying to run away. Luckily the run away half won out. I’ve already paid my blood debt to this particular knife.
