Macadamia Nuts, Pili Nuts, Peanuts, Walnuts, they are all the same. They can really make you fat if you eat them out of control...he he he.....like you just did:-)
I used to say this to chicks, "Liking you is just like eating peanuts. Once you start, you can't stop".
Peanuts, even though it is a legume, is the one that causes a lot of allergic reaction. Those who are allergic to peanuts, usually when they eat it, it is potentially fatal. That's why here in the US, all airlines have stopped serving peanuts on the plane. All packages that have nuts have a fine print that the products in those bags were processed and packaged in a factory where other nuts, including peanuts, were processed. My son, Richie, is allergic to peanuts, walnuts, pecan, hazelnuts and Brazilian nuts. But he can eat almonds, cashew, macadamia nuts and pili nuts.
too many chemicals and man changing the Earth in his own inimitable way...ang daming allergies these days...
my college classmate who lives in Singapore was commenting to me..that in his day, he played with mud and even ate mud pie for a taste of it..I think back in Mindoro or was it some other province here in the Phils...and he is hale and hearty..his son, who has practically grown up in Singapore? well, just little something hits the air, and he gets sick...hahay!
hurray for us who were exposed to dust, mud and all those dirty, yucky stuff!
speaking of peanuts, I think I remember reading somewhere about a movie star named Helen (I forgot her last name but its not Mirren, Hunt or the usual since she was way back ago)...
her hubby proposed to her with a bag of peanuts..saying he wished they were emeralds he could offer to her..
years and years later, he gave her jewels/emeralds (?) and said he wished he could offer her a bag of peanuts...*grin*
So true. But peanuts are the number one culprit among nuts.
There was this incident in which this couple and their only son was invited to the husband's parent's home for dinner. They were serve kare kare, which has peanuts, and their only boy ate some. In a few minutes, he reacted to it and he started swelling up and pretty soon, he could not breathe. They rushed him to the emergency room which was quite a ways from them. They decided to stop by a pharmacy so they can get an EpiPen, an autoinjector with Epinephrine to counteract anaphylactic shock. But the pharmacist refuse to give it to them because it requires a prescription. The boy died from anaphylaxis in the parking lot. The irony here is that, the grandfather is a doctor. this happened in CA. The pharmacist also made a stupid decision for not letting this one go for once.
Absolutely! Walang tatalo sa lahat ng nuts. Panalo ang pili. Pero may similarity ang pili at macadamia, parehong sobra tigas ng shells nila. Kelangan hammer, hindi pwede ang nutcracker kasi masisira ang nutcracker.
Sawaaaaap, Cat! Di bale nang tumaba.. haha... but re: your headaches when eating peanuts, that may actually be an allergic reaction. I used to have a staff who can eat all other nuts EXCEPT peanuts.. and when she does, her whole mouth burns, her throat closes up, and she breaks out like you wouldn't believe, had to take her to the emergency room... they said headaches are another severe reaction to it. Weird, huh?
Oo nga, kawawa naman. They knew that their son was allergic to peanuts. Nakaligtaan siguro nila na ang kare kare may peanuts. There was a time when we were having kare kare for dinner at home and my youngest son would not come to the dining table to eat. So we asked him if he was hungry or not. He said he was be he could smell the peanuts from the kare kare. So we ate fast and served him another dish that he could eat. My son can smell peanuts from great distances. Guess he trained himself to be aware.
sometimes...though I have weak moments like everybody else if down ang aking immune system...usually my sickness deals with respiratory..pero sa digestive wala masyado unless its food which is dirty (dinapuan ng langaw or di well-cooked)..
Trivia: Did you know that Macadamia nuts originated from Australia? It is not indigenous to Hawaii. There is also a difference in harvesting them. Here, they hand pick them from the tree. In Australia, they let them drop to the ground and they use some kind of a tractor to rake them up from the ground and into a container.
hmm..I remember asking before, somewhere about this kind of thing as it pertains to rice...I couldn't remember the answer at that time, but this would be interesting to know...
Chito and Cat, here are 2 links that shows the history time line of the macadamia nut from Australia to Hawaii. I also stand corrected when I said that Macadamia nuts are harvested from the ground in Australia and in Hawaii, they hand picked from the tree. I didn't know that they are harvested from the ground here too after they fall when ripened.
What puzzles me though is that inspite the fact that the genus was discovered by a botanist named Muller, it was named after a certain John Macadam, a doctor who was also the Secretary of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria in Australia. Is this just because they were friends? Were they more than friends? Hmmm...sino kaya sa kanila?
Sa palagay ko pwedeng mas masarap yung macadamia from Australia kasi hinog sa puno, hindi pilit ang pagpitas. Pag nahulog yung nut sa lupa, ibig sabihin hinog na hinog na talaga. This is just an assumption.
that is an interesting theory..baka nga allergic reaction ang headaches ko to peanuts...
speaking of kapilyahan...(which came about due to what I read of Chito's most recent posted reply here)...I remember kc my mom telling me when I was so much younger that brain food daw ang peanuts....
e tapos nag-he-headaches ako di ba?
so sabi ko kay mommy - kaya siguro nag-headache ako when I eat peanuts is coz sobra na ang aking brain power
I don't know what that is, but it sounds good.
ReplyDeletemasarap talaga ang pili nut...I understand you..hehehe...
ReplyDeleteMukhang masarap. Siguro meron kahalong pang pa addict.
ReplyDeletewow, send some my way! =)
ReplyDeleteAng sarap, Cat.Umarya ka na naman ha. Wouldn't be surprised if you don't gain weight.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have read somewhere its more delicious than macadamia :-)
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pili_nut
I've not tried the ones with garlic..since I don't have it anymore...but maybe next time...if I can find some..
ReplyDeletena-adik ka ba sa cashew?
ReplyDeletesorry Pat..the only thing thats left is the container..which I already licked ...*grin*
ReplyDeletebut..but..do pili nuts make one fat? *horrified expression*
ReplyDeleteMacadamia Nuts, Pili Nuts, Peanuts, Walnuts, they are all the same. They can really make you fat if you eat them out of control...he he he.....like you just did:-)
ReplyDeleteI like it more than macadamia nuts, really.
ReplyDeletereally? I thought it would just make my facial skin oily...
ReplyDeletedo you know i get headaches when I eat peanuts? weird huh? so I don't like it very much..though its delicious...
personally I love almonds in chocolate...walnuts in salads and during Christmas when I have fun cracking them on the door's hinges...
pili nuts and honey though...very addicting...
I should have probably taken pics of what I ate...sadly..all gone now...

I want some too if it's more delicious than macadamia. Yum yum!!
ReplyDeleteang tindi mo. nakakahilo yan at nakaka acidic :-))
ReplyDeleteHindi naman, pero pag umpisahan ko cashew, uubusin ko.
ReplyDeletehahahahahaahah!
ReplyDeleteMasarap talaga ang pili nuts, marami yata yan sa Bicol region no?
ReplyDeleteHere, we eat breakfast cereal with mixed nuts, sarap :)
Sa school din, bawal na.
ReplyDeletehow sad naman this story..hadn't they known their son's peanut allergy and Kare-Kare is well known for having peanut in it..kawawa..
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Walang tatalo sa lahat ng nuts. Panalo ang pili. Pero may similarity ang pili at macadamia, parehong sobra tigas ng shells nila. Kelangan hammer, hindi pwede ang nutcracker kasi masisira ang nutcracker.
ReplyDeleteI thought I read "Licking you....."
ReplyDeletepareho tayong basa bert o pareho takbo ng utak natin. hehehe!!!
ReplyDeleteCat, hindi ba nakaka number 2 ang sobrang pili?
ReplyDeletecat, di ba dapat namimigay ka nyan?!
ReplyDeleteCat, I hope your CR didn't become so busy after your pili nut orgy!
ReplyDeleteTumpak.
ReplyDeleteSawaaaaap, Cat! Di bale nang tumaba.. haha... but re: your headaches when eating peanuts, that may actually be an allergic reaction.

ReplyDeleteYou are right. Dito rin. That really makes sense.

ReplyDeleteBNK, Joel, pareho kayong "one track minded people". he he he
ReplyDeleteYes. There is a special tool to crack those nuts open.
ReplyDeleteMeron daw siyang toilet plunger...he he he.
ReplyDeletepwede naman siguro ilagay mo between the hinges of a door?
ReplyDeletehahaha..sorry, that didn't happen...I didn't get the urge to visit the CR after my orgy..I mean after I ate my pili nuts...
ReplyDeleteSa tigas baka matanggal yung hinge.
ReplyDeleteIt has got to be a heavy duty metal door from a concrete building. That might not even work.
ReplyDeleteMatibay ka talaga, Cat.
ReplyDeletesometimes...though I have weak moments like everybody else if down ang aking immune system...usually my sickness deals with respiratory..pero sa digestive wala masyado unless its food which is dirty (dinapuan ng langaw or di well-cooked)..
ReplyDeletegrabe!!
ReplyDeleteInay ko po! Ayaw ko rin nyan.
ReplyDeleteThat's why there is a special tool for that.

Hi Joey. I'm a Macadamia nut, i.e. I just love Macadamia. Is there a difference in taste due to the manner of harvesting?
ReplyDeletehmm..I remember asking before, somewhere about this kind of thing as it pertains to rice...I couldn't remember the answer at that time, but this would be interesting to know...
ReplyDelete*waits with Chito eagerly on the answer*
Good question, Chito. I am assuming there isn't but I have not tried the Macadamia nuts from Australia. yet. So I can't tell you the difference.
ReplyDeleteChito and Cat, here are 2 links that shows the history time line of the macadamia nut from Australia to Hawaii. I also stand corrected when I said that Macadamia nuts are harvested from the ground in Australia and in Hawaii, they hand picked from the tree.

Hi Joey. Informative links, I should say. Found this one, too - http://www.macnut.co.nz/history.htm

Is this just because they were friends? Were they more than friends? Hmmm...sino kaya sa kanila?
well I for one like the name of "macadamia" nuts than "mulleria" nuts...
ReplyDeleteMalaria nuts! Bwahahaha...
ReplyDeletean absolutely nutty name if so Chito...
ReplyDeleteSa palagay ko pwedeng mas masarap yung macadamia from Australia kasi hinog sa puno, hindi pilit ang pagpitas. Pag nahulog yung nut sa lupa, ibig sabihin hinog na hinog na talaga. This is just an assumption.
ReplyDeleteMas okay kaya kung ang pili nuts ay i-rename as pilia nuts?
ReplyDeletesi Chito pilyo...kaya siguro...mahilig sya ...ng pilia ...
ReplyDeleteay..weird ang labas...
Rocky..sorry, I missed this post...
