What's your favorite nut?
 

I would say that Biden is my least favorite nut. But my favorite nut of all times is the cashew. Roasted and salted.
There are however problems with cashew processing.

Pistachios, apparently. I've been eating them as a midafternoon snack for months. Prior to that I was
rotating among pecans, walnuts, and pistachios, but I eventually switched to just pistacios.

Hickory nuts. Nothing else comes close. I fact, I just
bought myself a Christmas present.

Grown in a State that helped elect Joe Biden.

I just ordered 4# of hickory nuts in the shell. Now I need a piece of
granite (or an anvil) and a sledgehammer.

Use a Vise-Grip. (UK = Mole wrench). you can set them so that they crack
the shell but leave the contents whole. I use them to crack walnuts.

It would have to be a large vise-grip. For other nuts I use a 12" Channel Lock,
but hickories are tough nuts to crack.

Macadamias, then cashews! A mix is really good!

I would rate Macadamia nuts as my favorite. I'd eat them as a kid in
Hawaii. Very expensive when my money was coming from delivering the
Honolulu Star-Bulletin and The Army Times. Lightly Roasted pecans are
also delicious.

I love pistachios too. I buy them in the shells so I don't eat so many
at a time..

The ones in the shells taste better than the no shelled ones. Must be

I don't disagree. But since I usually eat them in the cube farm at work,
it seems discourteous to subject my co-workers to the noise of cracking
pistachio shells.

Every morning I pack just enough for that day so I don't eat so many at
a time. I've found that half an ounce or so is a sufficient mid-afternoon
pick-me-up.

I find macadamias flavorless and too oily. I like cashews but won't
go out of my way for them. I like pistachios but I prefer walnuts and
filberts.

That URL isn't working, however that tool is more accurately known as
slip joint pliers... I can easily open those nuts with an ordinary
nutcracker. Brazil nuts are more difficult to open without damaging
the nut.

It is how they are differentiated from the cobnut. Varies with species
though both come from Hazel trees. Filberts are more elongated.

I prefer them in the form of Frangelico.

That's a liqueur. I wonder if there's also a hazelnut liquor.

I think the hazelnut's rather boring until it's combined with
chocolate.

I'd suggest leaving out the "flavours" and the caramel and converting
the sugar to more alcohol.

Hawaii no longer has a morning and an evening paper. All it has is a paper - the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. We got macadamia nuts out the the ying-yang though. We also have an abundance of balls, it seems. Truly, this is God's country.

I call those slip-joint pliers. My brother-in-laws will call those channel locks. Who the heck calls them groove-joint pliers? My favorite trick is to hold a walnut in my hand and smash it down on a table. A smart guy would hold it so the walnut makes contact with the table instead of your fingers but I never did.

Channel locks and slip joints are very different tools... no such
animal as groove joint pliers. I usually crack walnuts by holding two
in one hand and gently squeezing them together... the weaker one
cracks open.

To crack hickory nuts that way you'd need to be Heracles.

Slip joints are the regular pliers.

Channellock is a trade name. There are generic terms, and groove-joint is one of
them. They're also called tongue-and-groove and multi-groove.

Hmmm.... I thought that you had said that you had worked as a machinist,
so I am surprised to see you so inaccurately calling them slip joint
pliers. They are tongue and groove pliers, also commonly known as
channel locks.

I guess Brazil nut is the politically correct name for them. I guess I
cannot say what we called them as goods. My family was not into nuts but
they were always present a friends place and that was what his mother
called them, and she was a biracial Jamaican.

My mother even called them that when we were kids, but by the time I
was a teenager no one did. Two interesting things about Brazil nuts:
First, one should not eat too many of them because they have very high
levels of selenium; second, the country that produces the most Brazil nuts
is not Brazil, but Bolivia.

In 2017, Brazil produced 32,942 tonnes of Brazil nuts and Bolivia
produced 25,749 tonnes.

Not that I care, but I happened to see that when I looked them up.

Your brothers in law are correct. They are a tongue and groove design
but are most commonly called channellock. Slip joints are more common
type of pliers with a jaw and grips, but instead of a fixed fulcrum like
you see in things like side cutters and needle nose, they have an
adjustable fulcrum to change the width of the jaws.
