Toasted Brazil nuts are also nice on shortbread cookies.

It must have been 35 years ago, at least, my mother brought home a bag of
chestnuts to roast. The only thing I remember about them is you're supposed
to cut an X in the shell before roasting to release the steam. Those shells
are *hard* to cut! I don't remember much else about them but I have a vague
recollection we were disappointed. The nuts were probably old.

What's wrong with asking for opinions about food? Since Chatty Cathy has
made herself scarce we don't get any surveys on the RFC web site.

it just seems to be a silly way to go about it.

It makes more sense to me to ask a more specific question, and even if the
responses wander a bit that is just fine.

But these shotgun approach questions? Not for me.

Many years ago, I lived where we had a giant black walnut tree. I harvested
those walnuts but they were a big disappointment. The nuts tasted bitter to
me and as far as getting them open? Make sure you have a 20lb sledge hammer
handy. heheh

Okay, I see it's the travel channel. Isn't that the channel with
Anthony Bourdain? If the Zimmern and his show are anything remotely
like Bourdain, I won't watch it. I can't stand shows like DD&D or Man

I had a long time between chestnut tastings. Decades ago I had a good
friend and neighbor who loved chestnuts, so I tasted them roasted and
in a cake (made with chestnut paste). I thought it was mealy and/or
bland. This last winter, I got myself a few to put in stuffing and
roasted them myself. Incidentally, I cut the X with a kitchen knife
and it was pretty easy. Anyway, I roasted them and didn't burn too
many... tasted a few and they were ok, but not so wonderful I feel
driven to do it again.

Then.....if you don't care for threads asking questions about food
related subjects, then why are you in here posting to something you say
is not for you? That's what doesn't make sense to me. <shrug>

I was under the impression this is where people post, that are
interested in cooking and food come to post, and start conversations
along those lines? I think it's good to start new threads, and keep the
newsgroup fresh, lively and interesting, and what better way to do it,
than get people's opinions? If it's not for you, so be it, but it seems
to make more sense to me, that you'd just ignore the threads that you
are opposed to, rather than post only to bitch? No one is holding a
knife to your back making you post here, correct?

Have a nice day!

During winter in NYC there used to be a street vender selling
chestnuts roasted over an open fire on just about every street corner,
but no more.

Sometimes they develop into good threads. As long as it's about food
it doesn't bother me.

Favorite? Hickory. Almonds are great too. Really green pistachios
are a thrill, but over-roasted ones suck. I eat pecans, but prefer
them for their oil, which I consume in its pure form. The only nut I
don't like is chestnuts.

I loved black walnuts when I was a kid, but not so much now.

They're a bargain at TJ, but you're right IMO about the freshness. A
drugstore chain here (CVS) also has shelled pistachios, and sometimes
Safeway has them too.

Oh, shelling pistachios is fun and (fortunately) slows down my eating.
I've seen shelled pistachios but I don't think they are toasted or
salted and thus don't keep too well.

I'm allergic to tree nuts, but can eat cashews and almonds. Which I
like. Cashews are the best. The other tree nuts put me in the ER.

Maybe because of how they processed to neutralize their natural
toxicity, right off the tree cashews especially are quite poisonous.

These are the best nuts you can buy anywhere, if you like cashews
you'll love these, they're fabulous. And their pistachios are highly
addictive, I especially like the ones from CA, they're larger and
their legs open very easily. Shipping is free:

Small is relative. Cashew trees are actually not small, they are
typically 20 feet tall and 30 feet wide. They look like a bush in
pictures because cashew fruit is heavy and when ripe pulls the
branches down till they touch the ground, also making it easier to
harvest.

Almonds are nuts, their fruit is a drupe.

I already told you, cashews are toxic until processed, in the
processing whatever they contain that makes you allergic most likely
is destroyed along with the poisonous substance.

Cashew fruit is delicious, and makes an excellent wine. Cashew fruit
is much too delicate to ship so you won't find it in the US.

But I'm sure that you grow your own cashew fruits (of the most
excellent variety!) and make the best cashew fruit wine, which you
serve to your many female guests.

Am I right, Sheldon? ;-)

I love peanuts, almonds, cashews, and pistachios. Cashews and
pistachios are my absolute favorites.

I *HATE* pecans and walnuts. (Although there are a few exceptions
where I will eat them. Like the nut crescents we make for Easter
which have the walnuts all ground up and mixed with lots of sugar
and egg whites.) The main thing I don't like about them is the
bitter skin.

Not totally crazy about macadamias or hazelnuts as I have often
had them and they're rancid. They're okay if they are not rancid.

> Do you like to just eat them as is, or have special things you use them
> in? I use a lot with my baking.

I like them plain or in things. Although, in general I don't like
nuts in ice cream or anything "moist", like cake or cookies, etc., as
they tend to get "soggy" and I don't like the texture. I like them
in candy and if they are coated in chocolate or candy they are okay
in ice cream as the coating keeps them nice and crunchy. The crunchy
issue is not a problem with cashews and pistachios so much as they are
not particularly crunchy to begin with. But with almonds and peanuts
it's a big problem for me.

It would be interesting to see how you experimented. I think I would just
avoid everything.

I picked up some raw peanuts tonight. I was checking out a new discount
grocery, bottom dollar, a food lion store.

How long and at what temp? I've seen them at one of the places we
shop and wondered how they'd roast if done along with caramel corn.

Thanks SF! after 6 weeks without convenient access i questioned whether
to even bother, i always new i had an internet addiction but its only
really real when one is forced to go without that one really realizes
the depths of the addiction.

However, and especially on the yacht its a very nice way of staying in
touch with people i no longer see on a regular basis.

Check back here tomorrow and I will give you that info. I have some
customers that give me bags of raw peanuts each year from their farm and
I've forgotten the cooking instructions. I've lost her phone number but
have just emailed her. I'll let you know in the morning.

My grandmother had a cashew tree and I would describe it more as a
regular tree, not a small bush. I always found it intriguing to see
the actual cashew below its fruit.

Just my $.02.
