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.
This was inspired by the last two posts

Yeah, it sounds like an interesting one. Kind of fern gully-ish.

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.

Nutritious food that grows for free on trees? What could be better?
lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 241d
Peanut Butter and Nutella
Your honor I rest my case.

I wish wood tasted that good.

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.

Yes, you guys have created some truly unpopular posts
Egonallanon@feddit.uk · 7 pts · 241d
Well its certainly an unpopular opinion I'll give you that. Nuts are fantastic in both flavour and nutritional value.

Crankenstein@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 241d
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.
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org · 4 pts · 241d
But what about honey roasted nuts? So good 😋
Spacehooks@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 240d
Or spiced nuts
snoons@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 241d
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.
AA5B@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 241d
That’s a good point. I’ve noticed that almonds in particular loose their freshness, their flavor, quickly
rapchee@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 241d
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
snoons@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 241d
I just remembered, the ones from cali were steamed or something, which turned them into gravel.

Chocolate peanuts are heavenly, and a good peanut brittle is class. Fuck you, with your shite opinion.
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 241d
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.
scytale@piefed.zip · 3 pts · 241d
Interesting that only one of you has allergies. When did you realize?
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 241d
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.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 2 pts · 241d
Why don’t you get rid of the twin?
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 241d
Cause quite often I love my twin! Sometimes I'd like to throw them into low earth orbit but not over the nuts!
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 2 pts · 241d
No one would blame you if you drive them into a beautiful wooded area and let them free then go and buy nuts though.
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 241d
Mother has said I can only murder twin over lack of them doing chores, not over allergies!
lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 240d
Why not get that treated? Leaving it untreated isn't helping unless it's not possible. Immunotherapy for this exists.
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 240d
Insurance won't cover it. We could look again but it's still unlikely!

hard disagree, i need the cruch
FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io · 3 pts · 241d
Nuts are awesome but I probably wouldn't feel that way if they would kill me after I ate them.
axx@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 240d
Counterpoint: pistachios. Just the shell without the pistachio nut would be a lot less interesting.
Brkdncr@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 241d
Pesto sauce is pretty great.
Triumph@fedia.io · 3 pts · 241d
Nuts are a vehicle for salt.
Demdaru@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 240d
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.
yakko@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 240d
Same I got that beaver in me 😶
RBWells@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 240d
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.

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.

You get to avoid things like the cyanide found in almonds by not eating nuts, hey.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 241d
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.
pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 240d
Nah I got a bag of raw pistachios. Amazing
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 240d
Pistachios are closest to tasting good with nothing on them, but they taste so much better with a bit of flavor. Like a steak that had no salt or pepper or anything. It's edible, but there's a reason no one eats it that way.
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 241d
I agree wholeheartedly
NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com · 1 pts · 241d
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 🤮
Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 241d
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?
vga@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 240d
You might have a thing called taste, which is not really an opinion.

Overall I disagree (so upvoted), but I do have to agree that chocolate is generally better without nuts in it.
AA5B@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 241d
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!
