So what is your favorite nut?

I love a good bag of pistachios like the one I just finished. :)

I hate all nuts. I can't even eat peanut butter anymore.

Pistachios for the win. For some reason I really like taking them out of the shell. I dunno why.

For me Cashews and Almonds are tied. I've never had Pistachios, they look like work w/ the whole shell thing :)

I'm pretty much a fan of all nuts except for Brazil nuts, blech tasteless filler

Cashews and pistachios are almost an even tie for me, but on a desert island, I'd go for the cashew, so that got my vote.

Plus cashew apples are just unbelievably yummy!

Tie between Cashew and Pistachios. I have a bag of the latter sitting next to me right now.

Peanuts go well with beer. Ergo, peanuts win.

Tough choice between cashews and pistachios. I think I'll go with pistachios just because of how delicious (and hilarious) Everybodys Nuts are.

Cashews are the best.

Peanuts are good when I'm smoking, so peanuts.

I'm not a big "nut" fan so I'd have to say salty peanuts.

A salty cashew is pretty satisfying, but I havent had a pistachio in a long time because those are for rich men.

I've heard good things about cashew butter, but until I try it myself, it's peanuts or bust. Besides. My hometown's url? http://peanut.org.

Cashew butter is really great. The kind I get is East Wind brand... I think it's actually from a commune.
It's really creamy, and a lot richer than peanut butter.

I will take the results of this poll very personally.

I believe it was my knowledge of you that pushed my subconscious to hit peanut before I even began to think about it.

The irony is that I don't even like peanuts.

The irony is that I don't even like peanuts.You really should see someone about that self-loathing. We can break through this, Suave, together.

I would never go out of my way to eat any nut (I really couldn't think of a better way to word that), but I can tolerate cashews. So I guess that would be my vote.

Almonds man. If I had to pick from those three though, it'd be pistachios. Red.

No almonds? They may be the perfect food- high protein, low fat, vitamins.

Pistachios if we're talking the whole nut experience, Cashews if we're talking pre-shelled.

Cashews by a landslide. But pistachios beat peanuts by a landslide as well.

I blame Suave's avatar. Who would vote peanut after seeing that nightmarish thing?

Cashews are delicious, but almonds should be on the poll as well, because they are delicious and good for you.

Ok I admit I voted peanut cause of Suave, but I like both cashews and peanuts equally.

Also Suave you missed our run tonight.

Peanuts.

I have probably eaten more calories in the form of peanut butter than any other substance.

Probably why I've had a few kidney stones....

Peanuts are not nuts. They are Legumes. HA! Poll failed. :p

You can save face by claiming the inclusion of the peanut to be a trick. :D

Voted "Other" because I'm another nut hater. The closest I'll come is peanut butter, and then only creamy.

Salted Peanuts at a football game with 2 beers at your side.

Pistachios are the Cadillacs of Nuts. The rest of you are Yugo driving fools.

Pistachios for sure. They're the least messy and easiest to take out of their shells; except when you get one completely sealed and no chance of prying it open with your fingers or nails.

Almonds are my new favorite because of my high cholesterol.

Considering the Cashew and Pistachio are seeds and the peanut is a legume, I had to go with "other."

QF(mf)T!

Seriously, the exclusion of macadamias is a crime against existence itself. They're delicious, cruncy and are loaded with good fats. Roasted with some salt and they are full of win and awesome.

I love macadamia nuts. The Mauna Loa cocunut chocolate macadamias are fricking fantastic. But they cost more per ounce than gasoline for God's sake.

Macadamia!

While Cashews are good in their place, I am going to have to go with the Pistachio. No other nut is capable of holding onto other flavors as well. There is a great place that sells an amazing Hot Onion-Garlic pistachio that can't be beat. I'd offer up a link, but their site is down at the moment.

Man, cashews really are better, huh? Nice to know.

Even the Pistachios that are unopenable are still covered in delicious coating. I was told once they were like mussels: If they're not open even slightly, they were bad/unripe. And when I forced one open once, it wasn't as delicious as the others.

Also, aren't Macadamia trees disappearing in the wild because they breed like dittos? Like, there are less pure Macadamia and more half-breeds?

It's nice to know I can still hold my own against "Other."
