So I have a pretty severe peanut allergy which means Ive never purposely ate a peanut and have therefore never tasted one without being in panic mode. People have told me that they taste like regular nuts which just makes me more confused. If you were given a selection of other nuts like cashews and almonds, what would compel you to go out of your way for peanuts? A lot of my friends who like them can’t even explain why they like them.

I know that most people like them salted or roasted. Is it just a fidget exercise when you eat them plain?

    Can you smell peanuts without triggering the allergy?

    Roasted peanuts smell like they taste, which is pretty good.

      I can smell them but I don’t think ive ever noticed a smell from peanuts to be honest. Peanut butter has a smell that I can pick out pretty easily

        Pretty much the same.

        If you’re not enticed by peanut butter, you’re not missing much.
