Sorry, got a bit nostalgic there for a moment

That's ok slowdriver - you brought back a long forgotten memory

Unfortunately, I've had that jingle stuck in my head for days now

but I can hardly blame you for that, my friend

GreenSkull, I'm not taken by brazil nuts - Anytime I've bought a bag of mixed nuts, the brazil nuts are always last to be eaten. The fact that they are eaten shows I have nothing against the nut itself (it's not personal, like), it's just they're not up there with the top nuts.

Let's suppose you have a mixed bag of Olympian nuts - they're all there

& this is the 100 meters. The Final.

(Don't ask me if it's a salted bag of mixed Olympian nuts or a non-salted bag, that is an irrelevant question, a bit like asking what kind of running shoes are these Olympian nuts wearing? ...

)

Here's my winning order.

1. Cashew

2. Walnut

3. Pistachio

4. Pecan

5. Almond (We'll have no nutism here!)

6. Peanut

7. Coconut

8. Chestnut & Hazelnut (It's a photo-finish for 8th & 9th places)

10. brazil nut

Tenth ! , tenth ! ,them`s fight`in words

(Not winking my eyes twitching)

Mind you since i`ve never actually eaten them Au natural (Had my socks off once but don`t think that counts ) only when encased in sugar and fat you may have a point

Drooooooooooool

Thinking back to schooldays, does anyone remember Chewing Nuts? Not actually a nut at all, they were the bargain basement end of childhood confectionery. Small, round bullet hard caramels coated in the cheapest chocolate imaginable, they took on a whole new lease of life when shoveled into your mouth at least a dozen at a time. Sucking the nuts (steady now) for about a week and a half caused them to slowly soften, at which point a magical transformation took place, and they became the bestest toffee in the world

Ah memories.

Some Chewing Nuts, yesterday.

Yes, I remember chewing nuts, slowdiver! They were exactly as you described.

I'm sure I ripped out a filling while 'chewing' on a mouthful once

happy days

Kiwi`s thread can`t be allowed to die , certainly not when it`s had some of the best discussions in this section. So time for a quiz to inject some more conversations

Such as what nut (s) is this self satisfied hippy holding ,and how did he live this long without getting beaten to death by now ?

KP do a chilli salted nut that is very nice. Great when inbibing in your favourite boozer. I love pork scratchings but hard to find in Ireland.

Just started on a big bowl of chocolate coated peanuts, got them on my desk next to me, bet they dont last long

**spitalhouse** · August 24th, 2009, 11:03 AM

I quite like my right one.

Hot roasted Macedamia nuts
When I was barely a teenanger there used to be a health food shop that sold these hot and roasted.
No visit to town was complete without 'scoring' some.
