As a kid in the country, it was an annual ritual to collect black walnuts to hull, bag in towsacks and sell. Many of us boys had black-stained hands for weeks. Mom used some to make cakes.

Life was so simple back then (50s/60s). It was a huge treat when dad would stop at a crossroads store and buy me a 6-oz. Coca-Cola and a nickel bag of Planter's peanuts.

They're quite delicious when you can just eat them like that and not have to go through the shelling.

I like all nuts, although there is something sublime about hot roasted cashews. I always get some when I find them, which doesn't happen very often.

Chocolate w/ nuts, cookies, ice cream (pistachio, butter pecan, walnuts sprinkled on ice cream), salads, etc. Or nut flavored things like almond macaroons, etc. Also like Pecan Pie!

Macadamia nuts. Macadamia nuts kick ass I think I will get some from the freezer. Freezing nuts can keep them fresh for like 8 months.

because whenever I have a bag of them I remember eating the first one, then I don't remember anything for a while, and then there's a big pile of empty shells in front of me.

Cashews. Any way but raw.
I even eat pieces.

Pistachios are right behind.

My favorite fall snack is Spanish peanuts and candy corn in a bowl. Make sure you get candy corn and peanuts in the same handful. Divine!

More than once I caught siblings "red handed" after they broke into my stash.

Ah, found it...

https://www.thekitchn.com/whatever-happened-to-red-pistachios-189029

But I seem to recall it was more than that.

Maybe sulfur dioxide and other preservatives were involved.

You could buy a cellophane tube of them in the late sixties that was probably packed in the 'fifties, judging by the label, and they wouldn't be inedible.

They were just the sort of food you might want to find if you were Don Johnson in A Boy and his Dog.
