Brilliant news we have a Morrisons so will go there tomorrow. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[gillyh]

Is that a good price for macadamias? No Morrisons near here though. :cry:

 

[Stuboy]

what's so good about these nuts? They keep popping up on this forum lol.

Maybe i should get in on the action!?

Hi stuboy,

Yes Macadamias taste great, are low carb and they really fill you. A perfect snack. Jem calls them "Macanuts".

Grrrrrrrrr someone has raided my local Morrisons. Only 3 bags left so grabbed them quick and hid them at the bottom of the trolley.....Jem could have been about :lol:

 

[Jem]

LOL!

I prefer Sainsbury's Macanuts - because (yeah I know my logic is flawed) they have lower carbs on the packet data

I did not nip down to your local morrisons and grab a trolley load - sorry!

the main reason, dear Stuboy, among many good and reasonable reasons, that I love them (sic: macadamia nuts) so very much is that after years (and I mean a good 20+ years) of sad dieting where I've followed low fat high carb nutritional advice to the letter I finally feel free to eat something high in fat that tastes **** great and AND (dun dun dun) can say hand on heart that I'm eating them for my health at the same time as really really enjoying them

and yep - I consider myself a macanut freak

Hi Macanut - Jem - finally got some macadamia nuts from Sainsbury's. There were cranberries in with them but the combination is really good. Now I know why you raved about them. will have to go back when I run low. won't tell you which branch or you might go and buy them!! :wink:

 

[sugarless sue]

I still can't find any!!

 

[gillyh]

Try Sainsbury's. If you can't find them ask one of the staff there. I finally found them on the delicatessan counter in small boxes. A really big range. Love the taste of them now. So Jrm beware!!!!! :lol:

 

[Jem]

been to sainsburys and purchased my weekly six bags of salted roast macanuts

phew

safe for a week!

I love salted nuts but the Doctor said avoid salt for my blood pressure.

 

[sugarless sue]

None of the supermarkets here sell them so I will just have to wait until I can catch a passing off-string who is willing to take me to Tesco's in another town.

Hi Gilly,
Watch out for those cranberries - they are lovely but nearly all cranberries imported into the UK are sweetened (usually with high-fructose corn syrup, even the organic ones) so you need to stick to very small portions - like one of two berries. Ocean Spray do unsweetened ones but I believe they are only on sale in Taiwan!

 

[cavelioness]

I have seen bags of cranberries in Lidl but the price was £1.79 so didnt bother didnt even think to read the blurb on the back of the pack.

 

[gillyh]

Thanks for that Dennis. Love cranberries and have fads on eating them. will have to cut down if they're that high!!
Jem - didn't see any salted macadamis nuts in sainsbury's when I went. Any better than non salted ones? :wink:

 

[scottishkate]

Oh god I love macadamia nuts! They sell them in massive bags in Selfridges food hall and I just couldn't resist buying them last week. I won't be doing that again in a hurry or I'll end up bankrupt!!

Someone on here suggested melting some 85% chocolate, adding chopped macadamias and forming little balls with them and sticking them in the fridge. I am definately going to have this as a christmas treat - thank you whoever suggested it :lol:

Katie.

 

[gillyh]

That sounds gorgeous kate. Drool...drool!!

 

[Jem]

Plain Macadamias go so very well with chocolate that the little nut balls (teeheehee) sound absolutely divine!! Whomever it was came up with that - we salute you!!!

Salted Macadamias remove my desire to eat two bags of salt and vinegar crisps! yummety scrummety!

Gilly - the salted macanuts in Sainsburys aregenerally kept with the smaller portion bags of salted peanuts and cashew nuts - generally not with the baking nuts or Xmas nuts - yes our Sainsbury's likes to confuse and has separate nut zones ... hmmmm ... maybe it's to try and throw me off the scent buwahahahah!

[gillyh]

Or maybe to hide the macadamia nuts from you? Give other fans a chance at them? :lol:
Got sister eating them now. She raids my bags of nuts despite hiding them!!!! Think she can sniff them out? :mrgreen:
