I hate nuts. I’m not allergic to them.
Everything about them is wrong, I’ve never had food that contained nuts that wouldn’t have been significantly better without them.
Chocolate with nuts - What was wrong with just the former
Nuts on their own - Might as well eat wood
Nutbars - gross.
Food with nuts is just bad, and the sooner we move on from this dated cultural institution the better.
This was inspired by the last two posts
Depends how old they are and/or how they were shipped. My local bulk store recently switched almond suppliers and the new ones are soooooo much better (from California to Spain). It’s like night and day… before it was like eating gravel, but it was fine because that was just what gravel tasted like… but the revelation that almonds can actually taste like almonds is, well… I can never go back. Walnuts are not wood, fresh walnuts are bomb. Pecans are AMAZING with raisins. Almonds are total shit unless you can find the good ones from the good Spanish supplier.
That’s a good point. I’ve noticed that almonds in particular loose their freshness, their flavor, quickly
i’ve only had european almonds (afaik), but my experience was the older they were, the stronger their flavour was, the more they dry out, the stronger it gets
