I'm Going Through Peanut Withdrawal

[easysurfer]

I like to snack on peanuts. I've been ordering large bags of peanuts from Sam's Club. But recently my membership expired so I figured I'd order from Costco this time (I am a Costco member). So, I placed an order over a week ago. Status was showing shipped by UPS. Expected delivery by 26th. But no delivery. Status now shows delayed.

So, I called Costco today and they ended up reissuing the order. So hopefully in a few days I'll be back to to munching on peanuts.

I think maybe some unethical UPS worker got too hungry and swiped the peanuts.

This is the second time that a UPS package mysteriously was never delivered. The last time was a camera I ordered from Amazon and they had to reissue also.

I love nuts, but I have HBP so I watch my sodium intake. If I go totally unsalted I start to cramp. So, I get Costco’s extra fancy unsalted mixed nuts and mix them 50/50 with Costco’s super extra-large peanuts, which are salted. That seems to work and I love them!

 

[easysurfer]

Unsalted all the way for me too!

That big can of Costco peanuts is a favorite of mine. Very salty but I'm OK with that.

Yes, it goes so well with a cold beer!

I do a scoop of peanut butter when I get a hankering.

I usually get mine in peanut butter form too. Prefer the peanuts with a bit of salt and nothing else, such as Laura Scudder. A lot of the others have a ton of sugar.

I was eating too many so I started going to the grocery store to switch to roasted peanuts in the shell. The extra effort to get to the peanuts slowed me down to about half.

Seemingly everyone under the age of 30 has a peanut allergy. Does this thread show how old most of us are?

We regularly consume the Sachs shelled unsalted peanuts from Costco.

I remember 60 years ago, when I was a youngster, a hole in the wall nut shop in the town I grew up in that sold hot roasted nuts. I think those were the best nuts I've ever had. Nowadays, I generally eat unsalted dry roasted peanuts from Aldi. Once in a while I'll spring for the unsalted mixed nuts from Sam's club.

OK I guess I assumed. OP was referring to roasted nuts in the shell. I don’t eat them often but I think they are generally healthier also. Sometimes I eat the shells too!

 

[Dtail]

I eat them in streaks of a lot for days then none for a while.

I remember hunting for Quail in south GA quite a few years ago and the landowner came out mid morning with bags of boiled peanuts for a snack. Not my favorite way to enjoy peanuts. Love them roasted and salted though.

Definitely an "acquired taste." As a relative newcomer to the South (24 years) a sign by the side of the road for "boiled peanuts" means a roadtrip treat to me.

I like the Costco Heart Healthy mix of nuts. No salt and it includes walnuts and hazel nuts two of my favorites.

 

[tutan]

Don’t know why they leave out hazel nuts in the Kirkland mixed nuts, both salted and unsalted. I seem to remember hazel nuts used to be included in the very distant past but that could be a false memory.

Peanut Butter should be it's own food group! I love the Skippy Low Fat. I keep a jar in the fridge. Just gets a bit cool, not cold cold. Perfection on a fresh slice of wheat bread. MMMMMMM!

I like to dip pretzel thins (or is it pretzel crisps) in Jif peanut butter!

Love me some boiled peanuts. Grew up with them in Florida. Now live in TX, The convenience store chain Race Trac sells them in store.

Unsalted peanuts for me. Costco also has great almonds and cashews.

DW hates the mess I always seem to make with the shells, so it's been "back to peanut butter." I'm sure it's not as healthy, but it's a bit less clean-up (and ruffled spouse feathers.)

 

[audreyh1]

DH figured out how to make great spicy roasted nuts. We do a mix of macadamias, pecans and almonds.

We also enjoy the Costco pistachios in shell.

I do not seem to have a peanut sensitivity, but have to watch myself around peanuts. I know other people eat a little handful or an oz or some such thing, but unfortunately, that does not seem to be a talent of mine. One of those big cans of salted peanuts? I'd probably awake two days later under the table clutching the empty can.
