In a new, perhaps to be semi-regular, feature on this blog, I shall post my rankings of various things in two or more categories! To start with, nuts!

In increasing order of crunchiness: Chestnuts, cashews, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, coconuts, peanuts, macadamias, brazil nuts, almonds, hazelnuts.

In increasing order of yumminess: Brazil nuts, coconuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, walnuts, almonds, pecans, chestnuts, peanuts, macadamias, cashews.

In increasing order of how often I cook/prepare food with them in: Brazil nuts, chestnuts, macadamias, pistachios, pecans, hazelnuts, coconuts (cakes), peanuts (curries, satay), cashews (stir fries, curries), walnuts (cakes, and pizza toppings), almonds (I mix some in my home-made muesli every week).
