which kind of nut do you prefer?

[pianonut]

   am sure there are a few nuts left out, but my choice is almonds because i like almond joy candy bars.

[ted]

My favourites are Brazil nuts. I buy them raw and roast them in the oven with a little oil. Of those listed I chose cashews.

[xvimbi]

For a fairly comprehensive list of nuts, watch the movie "Best In Show."

Me, personally, I prefer pianonuts. They are juicy, yet have a certain bite to them, can vary from mellow to over-powering.

[rlefebvr]

I love my little Almond.

thanks for not letting this thread die before it started.  sorry about leaving out the other tasty nuts, as above mentioned.  my daughter saw this thread and thought i was getting into trouble on the internet.  she said, 'mom, what are you talking about?'

xvimbi, yes, mild to overpowering...that's a good description.  some days, i'll just eat one bite (give the rest to three year old) of candy bar.  other days, my family sees me watching old movies and ignoring everything they say, and they bring me home a BAG of them.

beer nuts. with Bombay sapphire.

[pianonut]

i take it bombay sapphire is beer?

[Derek]

I'm the first to put down walnuts? Wow! I love walnuts.

How come "piano nut" wasn't a choice? ?? ?

[pianonut]

it's interesting to me how many pianists seem to really want a pianist to go out with.  suppose that if you have two pianos it might work out.

since i'm married i didn't want to look like i was putting myself on the poll...but there ARE many piano nuts.  i think i've been 'infatuated' by every piano teacher i've had - because they knew so much about music and made it fun and interesting.  most of them knew their students had another life, too, so they understood the good week/bad week syndrome.  grad school is much different. 

[Derek]

haha. I wouldn't want to date another pianist, I want to monopolize the piano in my household. Except for giving my children lessons of course (if they seem to take a big interest in it)

[BoliverAllmon]

most would think that I would choose almonds (LOL), but I prefer cashews.

[bernhard]

Macadamias . In their absence I vote for cashews. (Then Brazils, butthey are not there either).

i take it bombay sapphire is beer?

Bombay Sapphire is a (very good) brand of Gin.

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

i see we have some people with very fine taste.  just tried a desert pear margarita a few weeks ago.  it was good too.

[athykay]

Ooooh, I'm a big nut person.  My last name even sound like one.  I think my fave is cashews.    Although, I just *love* black walnuts, but maybe because they're hard to come by and hard to crack (now that's a hard nut to crack ).  They have an almost petrolish taste.  Yum!

[Tash]

ewwww macadamias and walnuts. good old cashews are the ways to go. and smoked almonds are good. and brazil nuts. and salted pistachios

[galonia]

I voted peanuts - but I hate the usual roasted and/or salted kinds - too dry, too salty.

I don't know how they do it, but it's either steamed or boiled - these peanuts are soft and really yummy.  I don't think many people like their peanuts this way, though, coz it's really hard to find them prepared this way!

[athykay]

I like raw peanuts.  That's not what you're talking about, is it?  You buy them in the refrigerated section of health food stores.  They haven't been roasted and have almost a greenish, snap to them.  I like them a lot.

[haydn]

I'm voting for almond, but what about hazelnut ?

[stephane]

I voted for cashew nuts.
I like them very much on their own but also in an asian rice dish I like to make and my family loves to eat  .

Regards,

Stephane

[Daevren]

Brazil nuts by far.

[BoliverAllmon]

I am allergic to hazelnut

[Torp]

Lug nuts...they hold the wheels on my motorcycle!

[Etude]

Yeah. I'm a pianist, and I want to date a pianist or a violinist. They're on the same wavelength as you; it's much easier. Nobody understands a musician's temperement unless they are themselves a musician or some sort of artist.

I'm allergic to cashew nuts. How come its the most popular?

how come you posted your dating preferences oh and threw the nut thing there in the end?

[tenn]

Pistacios are so addictive and you have the therapy with opening the shells.

[solange]

Coz I can.

Wot I meant woz: they aint all dat nice anyway, compared to almondz.

[BoliverAllmon]

oh now I see.

hmmm......

[Black_Key]

Almonds are my favorite (with or without chocolate). Peanuts are addictive (when they're toasted, although raw peanuts are okay too). Planter's Peanuts are way too salty, in my opinion. I have a love/hate relationship with cashews; sometimes they're great and sometimes they leave a weird after-taste.

[pianonut]

i admit, the question was a sort of double entendre.  musicians do tend to be easy going, show emotion easily, and know what they like/don't like.  just hope i don't become obsessive compulsive (like howard hughes having his staff use kleenex to open all doors, and having his chocolate cake cut exactly in squares - using a ruler to check before eating).

if you try to analyze musicians, it is nay to impossible to obtain any sort of coherent data.  they are all so different and yet so similar.  ok. i am probably the kind of nut that is oc to a degree.  i check the oven and front door mutiple times.  do not like things out of order, pick up after other people,  really get mad when someone litters,  am tempted to overanalyze my skin, don't run to the phone anymore - but always ask who called (once stubbed my toe running to the phone and decided it wasn't worth the pain), balance the checkbook for fun, monitor my sugar intake (not diabetic), try to drink lots of water (per piano teachers advice) i really don't know if water helps a person play piano better - but maybe there's something there - you know, with neurons etc.

crap ! It's not easy, there's hazelnut in  almost every kind of chocolate (sorry for the rude word...)
