I've found a new love

[chalmers]

I don't know how I went 30 years without trying this little piece of heaven, but I've found a new snacking love.

Damn they're addicting, and great when you're drinking beer.

that's either a blown up pistachio or a very bad looking hot dog

 

[HAL9000]

What's that?

 

[mcurphy]

I love em! But they are pretty expensive around here in comparison to other nuts so I rarely buy them. I think it's somewhere around $5-$7 for a small bag.

 

[Gibsons]

What's that?

Pistachio.

 

[HAL9000]

Pistachio.

Ahh, not the best photo.

Yep I just bought a fairly large bag and they were $7.99...way more than any other nut besides macadamias...but worth it!

 

[gophins72]

[richardycc]

you need to try the brand Everybody's Nuts Salt & Pepper Pistachios, they are the bomb!

They used to always be dyed red, and came mostly from Iran. When Iran got on our shit list, natural colored pistachios from California became popular, and you almost never see red ones anymore. Good thing. Coloring nuts is stupid, and they left red shit all over your fingers.

Pistachios at the big box stores aren't the best but decent.

If you have issues with red dye, you are going to hate handling my nuts.
