I never liked almonds that are eaten just as the nut itself. Almonds are something you put on other things to give it a certain flavor, but it just doesn't work eating them plain for me because when I eat nuts I eat them for their savory qualities and not as something that's sweet.,
I like pistachios the best, but almost never get them as they are too expensive to be worth it. I miss the days when you could get the red ones that tricked you into making them last longer as you had to lick the redness of the shells.
