I've never had a pistachio in my entire life.

Some of the best nuts and dry fruits used to come from Kabul. I am not sure if they stopped selling them, but I haven't heard of any one still purchasing Kabuli nuts and dry fruits in recent times.
The best: Almonds from the US. Cashews from India. Pistachios from either India or US. Dried figs, etc from Afghanistan/Kabul.
My personal favourites are roasted and salted pistachios and plain cashews. posted by riffola at 12:07 AM on October 4, 2001
Nothing beats a good Macadamia Nut.

I have to say that I hate pecans with a passion that knows no bounds. posted by jeffvc at 4:41 AM on October 4, 2001

Nothing beats a good Macadamia Nut. My first: in sixth grade--many years ago--my teacher brought a jar back to San Francisco from her Christmas trip home to Hawaii. Each kid got one macadamia nut to savor, slowly. posted by Carol Anne at 12:04 PM on October 4, 2001
What's worse, that we talk about nuts so much? Or that someone searches to see how much we talk about nuts. posted by marcuswebb at 8:54 PM on October 10, 2001
