Nutz for Nuts. Your favorites, or w other items.

Good ole peanut butter smooth or crunchy on toast, peanuts alone regular, or salted.
Pistachios!!
Macadamias!!

Walnuts, or almonds as part of granola.
Trader Joe's chocolate covered almonds! Yum!
Dark chocolate bark with almonds, hazelnuts & pistachios by a particular chocolatier.
Didn't have Nutella till a few years ago. Tasty!
Chocolate chip cookies w walnuts.

I think in India cooking- kormas (chicken, lamb, vegetarian) the sauce is ?cashew based. Soooo good ! Almonds may be in the biryanis, too.

Sure I'm missing something.

From a wild food guided walk which included a black walnut tree. So took the green husk home.

Where I grew up, lots of folks had black walnut trees. When it was time to gather them, we put them in the gravel driveway where they would be run over several times to get the husk off. The less you have to handle the husk the better because they will stain your skin. They are also very hard to crack!

I love almonds, pecans pistachios and walnuts

Also had dry roasted soybeans while visiting my the HS art teacher a bazillion yrs before I ever heard of (and ate) tofu!

Tastes kind of like a hard, stale peanut to me. I wouldn't eat them solo.

Oh, dear, if they tasted like that to me (and people's taste buds do vary some) I'd picked those out!
Sorry!

Their crunch along with the crisp soybean and softish cashew works for me.
