I hate it when you get the rotten ones though. You don't know it until you have popped one in your mouth.

I once found a spiders nest in one. Ick...

Easily my favorite nut with cashews coming in 2nd. I only like in-shell pistachios though. Cracking open those shells is half the fun. Ironically, Pistachios were the featured food on Good Eats last night. Alton made a very yummy looking pesto using pistachios.

my thoughts exactly, i always manage to seperate my thumbnail from a part of the skin beneath it and the salt from the nuts gets in the wound

We have a serious Pistachio problem in my department. It's costing me $16 every two weeks to keep the stash going. I despise the unpopped ones though.
