So, I'm wondering what kinds of nuts do you all like? I'm posting a multiple-choice poll, too. Please take the poll and talk about nuts ;)

My favorite nut is pecan but I like many others, too. I don't really care a lot for walnuts but do eat them for heart health. I try to have a small quantity of nuts each day.

Nuts are very good for us and having a few a day does good things for us.

Can't eat pistachios. My throat tightens, and I can't swallow. Scary, but not a deadly hazard, at least as I've experienced them......thus far.

All other nuts are good. I've dated a few, in my life, and, as I think of it, now, I was married to two of them!

That makes two of us. . .from now on, I'm sticking to the kind you eat and not the kind you marry.

I love pistachios but haven't had them in ages. I remember as a kid buying a whole bag of the red dyed ones and getting my fingers all bright pink. :LOL:

True story: Christmas 1965. I'm home from college and at a party. Oh, look at those lovely red nuts! I've never seen pistachios before but quickly fall in love. I eat A LOT. The next day, I use "the throne" and OMG, I'M BLEEDING TO DEATH!!! I go in hysterics to my mother and she asks me if I've eaten anything red, like red candy or red velvet cake. I remember the pistachios and my mother reassures me I'm not dying. Whew. It was a long time before I ate pistachios again and I never ate the red ones ever again.

Turkish halvah is made with a lot of pistachios in with the sesame paste. Great combination.
 
I like walnuts, pistachios, macademias, pine nuts. I love pistaschio nuts and used to eat the salted red shelled ones, I've also bought unshelled pistaschios from Costco, easy to eat too fast. I rarely eat almonds, don't really care for them, but I used to like Breyer's Butter Almond ice cream, they don't sell that anymore. Turkey Hill has a natural icecream that is half some kind of chocolate, and half butter almond, that's the best I could find these days.
