Nuts are just bad. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Agosagror@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

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.

Biblically accurate tanuki

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.

Nutritious food that grows for free on trees? What could be better?

[-] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Peanut Butter and Nutella

Your honor I rest my case.

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

OP replaces with Butter and ella. Seems doable.

[-] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

Nuts are awesome but I probably wouldn't feel that way if they would kill me after I ate them.

[-] rapchee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

hard disagree, i need the cruch

Pistachios out here looking to fight you over this.

Some of the postings in this Community are starting to get absurd. I'm going to make one that says I love murder and I hate babies next.

'Might as well eat wood.'

I wish wood tasted that good.

What about marzipan?

Yes, you guys have created some truly unpopular posts

[-] blady_blah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

So I tried to think of the top three things that I really enjoy with nuts in them:

  1. Ice cream with hardening chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts sprinkled on top (sooo good)
  2. Almond Roca (toffee plus chocolate plus nuts)
  3. Whitefish with almonds on top. (I know I'm not describing this very well, but I've had several fish with nuts on top that have been truly outstanding.)

You get to avoid things like the cyanide found in almonds by not eating nuts, hey.

[-] just2look@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

But...baklava...

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

I like pretty much none of them in my foods or deserts.

Some flavors of almonds or pistachios are straight fire, tho. They gotta have a flavor added, though.

Nuts are a vehicle for salt.

Nuts on their own - Might as well eat wood

Depends how old they are and/or how they were shipped. My local bulk store recently switched almond suppliers and the new ones are soooooo much better (from California to Spain). It's like night and day... before it was like eating gravel, but it was fine because that was just what gravel tasted like... but the revelation that almonds can actually taste like almonds is, well... I can never go back. Walnuts are not wood, fresh walnuts are bomb. Pecans are AMAZING with raisins. Almonds are total shit unless you can find the good ones from the good Spanish supplier.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That’s a good point. I’ve noticed that almonds in particular loose their freshness, their flavor, quickly

[-] rapchee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

i've only had european almonds (afaik), but my experience was the older they were, the stronger their flavour was, the more they dry out, the stronger it gets

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I just remembered, the ones from cali were steamed or something, which turned them into gravel.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
