If I'm going to snack on nuts I like raw cashew and boiled peanuts. I do like pine nuts in salads as I do some of the others. I like almond milk more than I like eating just almonds. I like almonds, walnuts and pecans in chocolate or any thing that is extra sweet because it tends to cut the sweetness for me.

Almond milk?! hehe, pardon me, I didn't know there's almond milk! Isn't it taste more "almond-nie"?? (i meant concentrated, lol)
I like walnuts but lazy to eat it if they are with shells (erm..is it called the shell?), hence I don't eat it everytime unless I found ready-to-eat ones =P

You've hit on one of my favorite things, nuts. I love them. I love all kinds, pistachios, almonds, pecan, cashews, and macadamia nut are the ones I like. I also like peanuts raw, or baked. I don't eat the boiled. I add them to my foods, salads and in my baking of breads, cookies, and cakes.

I beg to differ. As far as I know peanuts are not counted as nuts at all. There are legumes. I know that sounds "nutty" but it is true. However I do agree with you that macadamias are wonderful. I wish I could eat them daily. A very close second would have to be pecan nuts for me. I am not particulary fond of pine nuts as a nutty snack. They are okay in some recipes but not for just eating out of your hand. They seem more like seeds than nuts to me.

Pine nuts are expensive here too. Although I get the idea behind putting them on a salad I'm not a big fan of them in there either. I prefer croutons for a crunch in my salad. But I don't like to have cashews in stuff either even though I will eat those, on occassion, when I watch tv.

Oh ya!! pistachio gelato!! One of my favourite too! Anyway, you remind me of how we called pistachios in chinese, kai xin guo, which is directly translated into "happy nuts" lol! I don't know how the name comes about but I always thought we would me happy after eating it =P

I like all nuts. I think my favorite would probably be the all american peanut. Nuts are actually good for you, and help to promote low cholesterol. Walnuts are high in omega 3's which are essential for heart health. The best way to eat nuts in non processed. They are the healthhiest by far.
