well yes there are always peanuts that are easier to make, although
they do take quite a bit of time to peel. Several handfuls will toast
in the airfryer in just a few minutes... add a bit of salt and they
are perfect.... only bad thing is 1 cup is over 500 freakin
calories... my snack is a very modest 20-40 calories for one cake....

well I did not really take into account the fact that you can just eat
a pickle for a snack, I guess that would be much easier... but not as
tasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If gluten makes him sick, then he shouldn't eat it. Nor should he be
surprised if others talk about foods with gluten.

Oddly enough, the saltines I bought today said "sea salt". Plain old
Premium saltines.

Think about it though, Cindy. This is where Premium is probably
trying to trick us only because the "trending salt" these days is
sea salt. People now spend more for sea salt and they feel
superior. It's just a marketing ploy. All salt is sea salt, only
difference is where it came from and how long ago it formed.

Personally, I prefer the mined ancient sea salt, now just called
salt. The ocean was much more pure when that salt formed in
ancient and long gone oceans. :)

Yes, salt is salt but certain grinds affect how you taste it. Following
your simplified definition, why not just collect some of the salt used
to treat the roads in winter. It is just salt, same thing and it would
be free.

The Himalayas were not always mountains. The mountains are there now
because plates of rock were forced up upward, exposing layers of rock
and minerals that had been buried. Besides, Himalayan salt is not from
the Himalayas. It is from the Salt range in Punjab.

I can tell from your topic heading that you're an absolutist type and/or English is a second language. You're going to fit in well in this crowd but what the heck is gluten free bread and butter chips? This implies that certain brands of pickles have gluten. What brands are those? I've never had pickles with gluten - sounds wild. :)

I prefer the pink himalayan salt from the tops of mountain peeks that
has been carried down then carried back up only to be sent down a
water trough system soaked in sea water for 32.763 days evaporated
carried back up to the mountain top then boxed and air droned from
the mountain to my house....

well the actual cucumber when harvested does not contain gluten,
however the pickling medium if not carefully handled in a gluten free
environment can become cross contaminated.

For instance coffee beans are gluten free, when they are ground at a
factory that also grinds flavored beans or perhaps they package those
coffee cakes or perhaps even doughnuts then the coffee will be cross
contaminated with gluten.

There are usually lots of wheat based flavors that they use of which
the bits get stuck to the grinders and get mixed in with the non
flavored beans and the coffee is just crap after that point....

You should not ever buy coffee that has been pre ground, besides
ground coffee only stays fresh for maybe 2-3 days

That almost happened to me once. A local bakery uses sea salt and I bit
on a pebble when eating a slice of their excellent SD bread. It didn't
cause any damage so I was quite happy to accept a free loaf when I
showed it to the baker's wife.

"Fossil salt" is salt that's really old. 800 million year old salt certainly qualifies. There's also fossil water.

making it bad for you as well

>> coffee cakes or perhaps even doughnuts then the coffee will be cross

I was not going to go into that much detail because I thought it was
fully explained.. but I guess I will have to now.....

first let me requote this
>> There are usually lots of wheat based flavors that they use of which
>> the bits get stuck to the grinders and get mixed in with the non
>> flavored beans and the coffee is just crap after that point....
so you know what I was talking about when mentioning the beans and the
flavored beans used in grinding....

I guess you just missed it the first time....

but to continue, when beans are ground they go through a lengthy
process of travel to the grinder, through the grinder, along another
conveyer to packaging and finally packaged.

All of these conveyers are usually going to be shared equipment with
gluten laden products hence cross contamination. Also if these
products are actually made there then the gluten wheat flour will be
in the air, the air ducts, there will be flour dust that has settled
all over the entire factory. that means on the conveyers on the
packaging machine in and on the grinders.....

Did you require further descriptions?

You are having reading problems and you must live in a weird country that grinds
coffee beans and then uses that same grinder to make coffee cakes. I've never
seen a coffee purveyor, grinder, seller, buyer also make coffee cakes or donuts
in their facilities. Maybe they do where you live but not here. Where is this
establishment that grinds coffee beans and flour using the same equipment?? As
I stated before, we need pictures of this place that grinds coffee and flour in

Perhaps you're European or not an American. My understanding is that a lot of non-Americans think that peanuts are vile. What I don't understand is how those guys in Europe think that hazel nuts are the bee's knees. You're talking some vile nuts right there...

Hazelnuts (filberts?) are rather bland, but great with chocolate imo.
Peanut butter's great. Also imo, of course.

As it happens, I was born and raised in the UK. I remember as a child,
going with my uncle to gather hazel nuts from woodlands. Perhaps that
explains some of my bias. However, I used to eat peanuts. My dislike of
them appeared a few years ago. Could be age, I suppose, but I always
disliked PB from the moment I first experienced it upon coming to NA.

I used to snack on salted peanuts in bars. A couple of years ago when I
was feeling a bit peckish, I ate some. There was something about the
typical PN flavour that I found unattractive and I haven't eaten any
since. Perhaps it's age:-(

Hazelnuts are gaining some traction in the US. I think it will be a more popular nut in America in the future. I shall not partake though, I think it tastes kind of weird. I think that the Ferrero Rocher chocolates are okay. This is living proof that I'll eat anything if it's got enough sugar on it. :)

No! I do go to restaurants but have noticed that some over-salt their
dishes, perhaps to make up for other shortcomings. My comments in the
past on the subject have had to do with obvious water retention due to
excess salt after eating out.
Just watch TV shows where the likes of Oliver and Ramsay are cooking and
see them throw gobs of the stuff into the dishes.

Probably because what you tasted wasn't peanut butter, but a mixture
of hydrogenated shortening and sugar passed off as peanut butter. The
ingredient list on the real thing says "peanuts, salt".

One supermarket stocks one brand of real peanut butter, but it's
ground into a sticky paste. I think that the Rentown market has
peanut butter that isn't ground quite so fine -- almond butter that I
bought there was superb -- but it's really, really hard for me to get
to Rentown, and it's been so long I can't swear the store itself is
still there.

I don't mind peanut butter cookies but I don't seek them out. My mother
used to make them with crunchy peanut butter. They were better than
just plain peanut butter cookies. I much prefer oatmeal cookies.
Without raisins.

I like to snack on hazelnuts. They usually come in a can of nut mix
which does NOT contain peanuts. Don't ask me why.

I don't use coffee creamers but yes, I think that's the brand. I
remember my mother bought hazelnut coffee creamer. I've never tried
adding it to a glass of milk!

It happens here all the time. They grind up the coffee cake and while
it's cooking they grind the coffee.... Hence... gluten contamination.

I love hazelnuts. I like chocolate (in small amounts). I don't think
I'd like Nutella.

I would probably love a roasted hazelnut butter. I just can't imagine
I'd have much use for it. And it would likely be very expensive. There
certainly are a *lot* of different and very expensive nut butters
available at the grocery store these days. I think I'll stick with
lightly salted natural peanut butter. On saltines or toast. :)

I might be biased because I like peanuts. I wasn't crazy about peanut
butter when I was a kid. I discovered much later that it was to be used
as the main attraction, not as a condiment. My mother always used it
sparingly, usually with jam or bananas, and I followed suit. I leaned in
my 20s that it was best when smeared on thick.

If the opportunity ever arises try a juice glass of milk with the coffee
creamer. I know Dollar Tree has the mini bottles of Carnation liquid

My wife had filbert trees at her home in Virginia. She said that they used to have piles of the nuts in her garage. The used to jump on the piles and play in them. This was 100% all-natural ball pits before there was ball pits.

She called them "filberts" because that's what the Americans called these nuts back in the old days. "Hazelnuts" is the classier, European name, for the unpopular filbert. The move to change the name for marketing purposes is a deliberate and smart one.
