So I have a pretty severe peanut allergy which means Ive never purposely ate a peanut and have therefore never tasted one without being in panic mode. People have told me that they taste like regular nuts which just makes me more confused. If you were given a selection of other nuts like cashews and almonds, what would compel you to go out of your way for peanuts? A lot of my friends who like them can’t even explain why they like them.

I know that most people like them salted or roasted. Is it just a fidget exercise when you eat them plain?

    Peanuts are gross, I avoid them. I’m not allergic, but they are just so mealy and dry, cloying in scent and taste, overpowering everything they are in. I’d rather remain hungry than eat any peanuts.

    Pistachios are amazing though, maybe the best tasting nuts/seeds I’ve encountered. Almonds are also quite good, and sunflower seeds by the handful are so tasty.
