Do they really taste better, or does the work involved make them taste better? Just finished a bunch of peanuts(Hines brand) in the shell, and they were amazing. I also have some Diamond mixed nuts, and pistachios from Aldi. They all taste better than bags of nuts without the shell. Are they really better. or does the effort make them more special?

i eat pistachios in the shell because the work required to unshell them limits me to eating 5 or so at a time

i bought some unshelled and it was way too freaking easy to eat a handful

I think peanuts in the shell really are better, but it is a lot more work.

I do like peanuts in the shell better too. though it can get messy. It does not seem to slow me down much so I'll still eat a lot of them but now there's shells flying everywhere. :p It may actually help them stay fresh longer so they don't start to go stale. Seasoned peanuts are good too though, like honey roasted, or even just plain salted.

Now I'm hungry for peanuts.

Nuts and sunflower seeds are great snacks for fishing. Although, I haven't gone fishing in years and have a few hundred in fishing crap. LOL
