When I was a kid my mother used to go to the Bloomingdale's nut counter and buy cashews and macadamia nuts. She'd say, "Which do you want?" I'd pick the macadamia nuts, she'd say no and give me the cashews. I'm like wtf why do you even ask me.

Well that's just wrong. I'd be sad to live in a world without cashews, but they are one of my least favorite nuts. And macadamias are wonderful little butter bombs.

My favorites are brazil nuts.

I think it's because as a kid we got mixed nuts unshelled. And they were the biggest challenge to crack. So there was a real sense of accomplishment to get them out clean in one piece. They had to taste good given the effort.

Takes one to know one.

I admit I voted. I love nuts.

Wow, so much to respond to in different directions. Let me try to do my best.

Wow - I just wiki'd Brazil nuts - the whole fruit weighs like 4 pounds - who knew? I, too, grew up with nutcrackers but only ever butchered the Brazil nuts. They WERE my favorite until I ate a whole bag and it was way way too rich and I've never been able to hit them as hard again.

I did that with wild blueberries at my grandpa's place. Took me years before I could eat them again.

I love walnuts for baking and just treated myself to a 3-lb bag, that to me is wealth. I really like cashews in Chinese food, but not really anywhere else, unless it's them *or peanuts, which are a legume but I'm not gonna split that hair*. (emphasis added)

I didn't want to split that hair either, hence why I listed them first (to hopefully forestall argument).

I went to Decatur, GA once and almost made a spectacle of myself when I saw the ground littered with PECANS fallen from the trees! I was running around in horror, exclaiming, "So much waste! So much money!"

We had huge old growth pecan trees on our land outside of town (in South Central Texas), they honestly dropped so many nuts, you stopped caring. We weren't nut farmers. These were just the trees providing shade. Relatives declined gifts because they had too much already.

Dad sold that property though.
