This week’s “Poll of the Week” asks what is your favorite kind of nut?
If you have any good nut recipes (desserts, soups, or what-have-you), I’d love to hear about it in the Comments section!

Poll of the Week - 11.02.2009
While autumn seems to make everyone crave apples and pumpkins in every conceivable variation (apple cider, pumpkin soup, apple pie and pumpkin pie...), I always look forward to those giant bins of mixed nuts you find at the market around this time of year. Summer’s lobster crackers find a new use cracking open slightly sweet hazelnuts and rich, meaty Brazil nuts. A bowl of uncracked mixed nuts and good conversation is the perfect way to pass one of November’s many cold and rainy afternoons.

ReplyDeleteWe put pistachios in everything: soups, stews, salads, ice cream - you name it!
ReplyDeleteWhile I voted for Brazil nuts, nothing says it's the Holiday Season like roasted Chestnuts
ReplyDeleteHazelnut! :-P
ReplyDeleteI make a snack mix of hazelnuts, dried cranberries or cherries, and Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips.
ReplyDeletepecans of course...because you can make PIE with them. nobody makes pie out of those other nuts, yuck. though, i will concede that i believe the american pecan pie has its origins in almond pie made by the british back in the day. so, maybe i could take an argument for that. but, really, no.
ReplyDeleteok, fine, you can make cake out of walnuts. i have a recipe. looks good.
