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

    Upvote but hard disagree. Nuts are amazing. Plant one walnut tree get 1000s of walnuts every year that have a naturally long shelf life. They have lots of very healthy fats etc

    Similar for other nuts.

    Well its certainly an unpopular opinion I’ll give you that. Nuts are fantastic in both flavour and nutritional value.

    Upvoted because I’m jealous. I can’t have nuts in the house because twin is allergic to tree nuts and I love her just enough to remove all them from the house so I can’t cross contaminant anything accidentally. Would be easier if I hated them but boy I miss walnuts.

        I was the healthier baby and now the ‘healthier’ adult. Er, my immune system was better at least. I an not healthy lol.

        Twin always reacted much stronger to the cats than I did so they got a full workup as a kid. The tree nuts started at pine nuts but expanded over the years.

      because twin is allergic to tree nuts

      Why not get that treated? Leaving it untreated isn’t helping unless it’s not possible. Immunotherapy for this exists.

    Love them. I don’t find them woody tasting. My daughter’s girlfriend is allergic to nuts so I don’t cook with them much now (they are living here) and I miss them.

    I don’t usually just want a handful but they make food better not worse.

    Walnuts or pecans, such a pleasant texture in cinnamon rolls or banana bread, cookies.

    Almonds are delicious with green beans.

    Cashew butter makes better cream of mushroom soup than cream does, and I say this as a lover of cream, milk, cheese.

    They are high in calories and nutrition for something that grows on a tree, too.

    Upvoted cause I heavily disagree with this. Cashews and almonds are the best snack ever. Almond Joys are the best chocolate candy bar.

    Nutella, nuff said.

    To compare them to eating wood is absurd. Your taste palate must be ruined.

    Yep, they kinda taste woody. What’s wrong with eating wood tho? Trust me, if I could actually draw nutrition from wood, I would xD

    But also, nuts have hella different texture. Only nut I hate is pistachio as of now, didn’t taste them all after all.
