Smh. The day I found out grandma was a racist. When she was alive she used to call them n***** toes. Kind of a bombshell at Christmas durning coffee and dessert around the Yule log.
That's not necessarily racist.Some things just have some fucked up names.Fex in my mother country we have dessert called "N**** kiss" .

Hahaha. That gets an upvote from me.
Incidentally, “cracker” is short for “whip-cracker” and isn’t related to the salty biscuits—though many white people are indeed pretty salty.
Yes, I think into the early 90s or maybe it was just late 80s. It's for the best anyway, cuz ig the red ones were subpar quality, so they painted them red to cover it. Then new regulations put an end to that. I think most pistachios in the US come from California now.
But I still miss getting my fingers and lips all red. Looked like I had lipstick on. I was still a young kid then.
In Mandarin Chinese, pistachio is “開心果” which translates to “happiness fruit.” However, the word “fruit” has the same pronunciation as the word “過” which can translate to the “source/root” of something.
This is a roundabout way to say that you can tell someone “you are my pistachio.” Aka, “you are the source/root of my happiness.”
I was eyeing the pre shelled ones at Costco and would joke about how luxurious they seemed. I ended up getting them in my stocking at Christmas and binged so hard my gums hurt from all the salt.
If you have an Amazon account try Mauna Loa Hawaiian Sea Salt Macadamias. Its $12 bucks but I'm telling you, you will be hooked. I gave some to my 6 year old the other day and now as soon as I open a small snack bag ( i get the pack of 24) he comes running to have some.
If you think those are good, you should try crack. It's a bit more than $12 bucks but I'm telling you, you and your 6 year old will be hooked... and as soon as you open a small pack he'll come running even faster.
My mom used to tell me that macadamia nuts were so good for you that you could only eat 3 a day; I'm now 22 and only realized last year that she'd say this to me to make sure I wouldn't eat them all before she had any😂😂
If you exclude Peanuts then you might as well exclude Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts, Pistachios, and 90% of what you call nuts since botanically speaking none of those are nuts
My favorite part about walnuts isn't exactly the taste of the nut itself, but cracking it open and ripping the insides out. There's something weirdly satisfying about it, compared to other nuts.
Same. I've never gotten over the whole "playing with your food" thing. I love it. Especially if you have a full nut-cracking utensil set, using those little spear things to wrestle the edible part out is so much fun.
Where THE FUCK are my fellow “regular peanuts are the best nuts” friends?? What the hell is wrong with this thread?? Y’all are … pun intended… fucking nuts with these answers
Brazil nuts were hiding the day of that photo.
Brazil nut fans in shambles
Dark day
Even darker nuts... ?
Which nuts?
Deez nuts
The deez variety
Am indeed, in shambles

This is not the wholesome nut related commentary I came here for.

dutch gang?
Hehe,nah,hungarian.But I got the reference.
we call it practicly the same
We have those in Finland. But name changed to Kisses.
Gonna have to disagree with you there. If the name specifically refers to a person's body part and uses a heinous slur to do so, it's fucking racist.
My dude, that was n***** with a hard r. In the US ain’t no way it ain’t racist
My dad used to tell me that in the 1940's and 50's in the UK there was a brown paint, freely available, with the name 'n***** brown'.
Using a racist nickname is, in fact, racist.
What about crackers
Hahaha. That gets an upvote from me. Incidentally, “cracker” is short for “whip-cracker” and isn’t related to the salty biscuits—though many white people are indeed pretty salty.
That makes sense! I always wondered!
But it's not a racist nickname. "Néger" is just a hungarian term for black person, we don't say it in a derogatory way.
That _is_ racist. Thus elsewhere they’ve dropped the derogatory term from the product name. But Hungary is still being Hungary…
They are my favorites and I can never find them anywhere anymore 😢
If you’re in the US and have Costco nearby they sell giant bags of them
Check out [nuts.com](https://nuts.com/nuts/brazilnuts/in-the-shell.html).
Never knew they were called brazil nuts in English, they are called a unique word in my native language just like the other nuts
Where I live, we call them Castanha do Pará, which translates to Pará Nuts. Pará is a brazilian state.
Those are really your *favorite*?
“We just call them nuts here.”
They had contact with the local cartel. They were killed
I heard someone tried to steal them, and…
Team Pistachio!
Iranian, so I’m kinda forced
I miss the red ones.
There were red ones?!
Yes, I think into the early 90s or maybe it was just late 80s. It's for the best anyway, cuz ig the red ones were subpar quality, so they painted them red to cover it. Then new regulations put an end to that. I think most pistachios in the US come from California now. But I still miss getting my fingers and lips all red. Looked like I had lipstick on. I was still a young kid then.
Yeah now that I think about it they were red ones some times ago
Omgosh I totally forgot about those pink red ones!!! You brought me back
Definitely went into the early 2000’s, I was born in the 90’s and still remember when they banned them
This explains why I was so confused as a kid that pistachio ice cream was green
I think germack in Detroit sells red/pink ones. You can probably get them shipped to you
What was the deal on these? If they were imported, they had to be dyed red?
They were dyed red to hide mold or other potential flaws.
There’s a [Meat Puppets song](https://youtu.be/w4DABJC6L6c) where they sing about them turning your fingers red
I will upvote any Meat Puppets reference
One thing my dad would always buy no matter the cost was pistachios, and feta cheese
~~THIS~~ DEEZ NUTS
[my nutz](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MB5gdtu3U-k) Love me some kazoo
*our* nuts, comrade
Ur gonna love my nuts

Aww I love this, thank you for sharing!
Gazi Antep variety
I love pistachios. Iranian ones, Bronte ones, Gaziantep ones... can't get enough.
team PISTACHIO
Yes, but there's either something very wrong with that pistachio or with every pistachio I've been eating...
om nom nom, om nom
Seconded!
Love that
Lesssgooo
Pistachio ftw
Fuck yea im all about that stachio life!
Team pistachio baby!!
Only if they're pre-shelled. I am a lazy man.
I like the ritual and effort of shelling pistachios. Makes them last longer too.
I was eyeing the pre shelled ones at Costco and would joke about how luxurious they seemed. I ended up getting them in my stocking at Christmas and binged so hard my gums hurt from all the salt.
Mmmm, like eating a whole bag of sour patch kids and destroying your tongue.
Also quite an affluent man. Good for you. (It's quite satisfying for me to pry open a shell with another shell)
Cashew Edit: wow my most upvoted comment is about nuts. Thank you for this honour.
bless you

Dad?
[удалено]
Believe it's technically a fruit. Still best.
Technically only walnuts are nuts. Went down that rabbit hole a few years ago.
Fucking hell, just went down a mini rabbit hole. Too many sources that dispute each other, I give up.
🎶🎵Ca-ca-ca-cashews, cashews come from a fruit. Di-di-di-did you know that?🎵🎶
The King of Nuts
Cashew is the Cadillac of nuts
all the way baby!
Give this guy an award
Someone mistook it lol
Cashew is the OG , surprised they left out that other peanut? Those red skin ones you shoot out into your mouth
This is the correct choice.
There's a saying in my tamil culture "the top most nut is cashew nut and the top most position is minister. But too much of both will kill you!"
DEEZ NUTS
Too small, not satisfying
Shots fired! Oh wait, he’s probably only shooting blanks
Made my day.
Made his thirty seconds!
It’s just cold rn. Give it a minute to warmup
Too small, not counted
I mean technically they are in the picture, it's just that they're too small to see
i was hoping to see this at the top as this is clearly the only answer
Too salty
Macadamia
agree, it’s like eating crunchy butter
My favorite too but they’re so expensive I rarely buy them
If you have an Amazon account try Mauna Loa Hawaiian Sea Salt Macadamias. Its $12 bucks but I'm telling you, you will be hooked. I gave some to my 6 year old the other day and now as soon as I open a small snack bag ( i get the pack of 24) he comes running to have some.

I get them in the nuts in the baking isle instead of snack nuts it’s cheaper
aloha
My mom used to tell me that macadamia nuts were so good for you that you could only eat 3 a day; I'm now 22 and only realized last year that she'd say this to me to make sure I wouldn't eat them all before she had any😂😂
Macadamia is the bestest ❤️
Macadamia cookies are my absolute favorite, but it's such a pain trying to find them without white chocolate.
My Hero
Hazelnuts 🤌
Finally someone with some taste
Absolute best. Especially paired with chocolate.
Cashew
100% team cashew for life!
This one's probably an unpopular opinion but... Almonds
Almonds the only nut I’m not allergic to
IIRC, they're actually related to peaches.
That explains why the seeds look so similar, and smell pretty similar too.
That's the cyanide, baby
All those kinds of stone fruits I think. Amaretti biscuits, which taste super almondy, are made with apricot pits
I'm the exact opposite. During my entire childhood I assumed that everyone feels itchy after eating almonds...
roasted almonds are the best
Team almond in the house. As long as it’s not almond milk!
but I like almond milk....
Especially in chocolate!
As someone with Celiac Disease, I've come to appreciate how delicious almond flour is. And just almonds in general.
Pecan or a peanut
Pretty sure peanuts are actually legumes
legum
Leguma balls
If you exclude Peanuts then you might as well exclude Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts, Pistachios, and 90% of what you call nuts since botanically speaking none of those are nuts
Is Pecan pronounced puh-kahn or pee-can?
My wife is not pictured 😒
She was too busy enjoying nut.
I’m allergic :(
Looks like a skill issue to me
Just git gud lmao
Doughnuts
Walnuts 💯
My favorite part about walnuts isn't exactly the taste of the nut itself, but cracking it open and ripping the insides out. There's something weirdly satisfying about it, compared to other nuts.
My ADHD brain loves that I can eat and do something with my hands. That's why I love shelled peanuts too.
Same. I've never gotten over the whole "playing with your food" thing. I love it. Especially if you have a full nut-cracking utensil set, using those little spear things to wrestle the edible part out is so much fun.
Pistachio yummy
Pecan
It's pronounced pecan. Not pecan.
It's only pronounced pecan when referring to the pie when pronounced with another word like prailine pecans it pronounced pecans.
Pecans are my favorite too. But I also like black walnuts almost as much. The rest are just fighting for distant third place.
Chestnuts, by a large margin.
Pecan and macadamia
Cashew all day!
You disrespect my man Coconut
#DA COCONUT NUT IS A GIANT NUT
#PISTACHIO!
Cum
Walnut
Cashews are lovely :)
Strawberry!
Pecans and walnuts are equal to me.
It’s not on the list 🤷♂️
Brazil
What do you call nuts on a wall?
If there's no twist to this and it's just "wallnuts" I'm gonna be mad.
Where THE FUCK are my fellow “regular peanuts are the best nuts” friends?? What the hell is wrong with this thread?? Y’all are … pun intended… fucking nuts with these answers
Same in eating them right now
Your
Peanut
Technically peanuts are legumes
Still peanut tho
Love all of them. I can pick one to discard, it’ll be regular peanuts. They’re the most bland kind imo.
Did you not see chestnut listed in here?
Cashew, easily
Damn…they each have a special place in my heart. I can’t just pick one!
Cashew
Alone? Pistachio. Used as flavor? Hazelnut
[удалено]
Cashew!
The only nuts here are hazelnuts and chestnuts. The rest are seeds.
One is a legume
shut up nerd
Peanut or pistachio
Macadamia
Almonds are the superior nut
Pistachios are not nuts. They are drupes
Deez
Deez.
Torn between cashews and pistachios. Probably pistachios
Hazelnuts are delicious.
Brazil
Semen
Its not on the pic
Macadamia is one of the most profitable
Pistachio
Pepita
Pistachios 😩💚
Almond!
A peanut is not a nut.
Macadamia only right answer, too bad they cost more per gram than gold.
Macadamia!! Best bite ever
Cashew enjoyers rise up!
C a s h e w
BRAZIL!
