Nutty favorite sesame nuts

a borrowed image of the delicious foodstuff

Trader Joe’s Sesame Glazed Blanched Walnuts are seriously good: sweet, crunchy, and nutty. I can’t put them in the snacking-nut bowl because they get eaten up right away.

Blue Diamond Pecan Nut Thins are also tasty. The crackers have a weird buttery coating, but they’re crunchy and not too salty.

I like nuts and eat a lot of them, being some crazy vegetarian. From most-favorite to least-favorite:

kind good things bad things butter
almonds (roasted unsalted) sweet, dense the raw ones are gross yes (smooth)
cashews (salted) nutty, roasty, crunchy-hard Winer likes them too no
peanuts (dry-roasted, unsalted) familiar, not too oily not the best ratio of fats yes (crunchy)
walnuts (roasted, unsalted) creamy, oily, crunchy-smooth walnut dust lands on me; skins are bitter and stick in teeth no
pecans (unsalted) oily, different cloying somehow no
