Favourite nuts

Mariusz

Following discussion about cheese I felt compelled to mention another food aboundant in flavours - nuts.

For me unquestionably it's hazelnuts, always and ever. 

The least likable I find brazil nuts, the difference in taste between them and lets say pecan nuts is like a difference between tap water and mineral water, I can't stand unfiltered tap water.

What are your favourtite nuts?

  • My favourite are cashews, they are delicious.

    My least favourite are walnuts, I find them extremely bitter, as does my father, but my mum and brothers have no idea what we're talking about. Apparently there's some research indicating it could be a particular gene altering how we taste particular compounds. If there is a recipe that requires walnuts (like coffee walnut cake) we use pecans instead, as for some reason they don't have the bitter flavour.
