Is it crass to eat mixed nuts?

It occurs to me that the common practice of eating mixed nuts is somewhat unrefined, insofar as it homogenizes and averages out the unique flavour and texture of each individual variety of nut within that mix, as well as allowing the stronger flavours (peanuts, cashews) to overshadow the subtler and more delicate flavours of the rarer nuts(macadamia, cashew). I was wondering what other people thought?

^^another element to this is salted vs unsalted xp

that's why I do it in the first place

It's such a strange strain on you.

it can be a satisfying experience, discovering or endulging in tastes you would otherwise avoid (I would not eat a walnut unless it were mixed with other nuts). i ate a bunch of almonds today for this exact reason, despite claiming/believing that I hate almonds.

toasted slivered almonds are very good but whole almonds with their brown dry skins on are dispiriting, also i think some people have too much faith in their health properties, they go about them while they eat them, i don't like listening to uninteresting claims coming from gummed up mouths.

There's a kernel of truth to this.

i used to eat mixed nuts but then i realized there are too many i don't really care for so now i mostly just eat almonds, unsalted and raw. i don't go on about health properties though, so please don't disapprove of my almond leanings, estela.

okay, friend.

it's not crass to eat mixed nuts out of a crystal goblet, that's for sure.

OP apparently never understood the fine art of combing through mixed nuts for several nuts of the same variety to eat at once, while purposely leaving all the peanuts for the chump who comes along last.

Eat yr nuts, even mixed, as your life does depend on it.

these nuts?

Those nuts. Even if they taste of cocoa or wasabi.

funny enough i'm eating nuts right now and just had sardines for dinner so in a hundred years it's gonna be you me and the cockroaches begging for scraps outside the gates of the mormon robot city

Seriously, though. I wasn't sold on nuts as anything more than a source of magnesium, polyphenols, and vitamin E until I started eating about 3 oz of almonds daily. Dropped my total cholesterol from an pretty good 165 mg/dl to a "heart attack proof" 144 mg/dl for my next 2 blood donations. Phytosterols are wonderful things.
