Nuts of any kind. Peanuts, almonds, pistachios. Sure the flavor is fine, and the first crunchy bite can even be good. But then I’m left with not a nut in my mouth, but a bunch of smaller nut bits, and when I chew on those they turn into even smaller hard bits that get into every nook and cranny of my mouth. I swallow and feel the little bits scrape down my throat which is kinda uncomfortable.
Sure some of it ends up a manageable paste (which still isn’t great) but the time and effort it takes to dig every bit out from around my teeth and get every last bit ground down into paste so heavily outweighs the reward that I just don’t understand how people enjoy it. And all that is eating a single nut. You throw more in the mix and it just gets worse and worse.
All that said, peanut butter and nut-derived foods that don’t have that texture can be pretty great.

I don’t mean this to be insulting. I think something might be wrong with the way your mouth works.
Whatever you do don’t try to swallow the nut whole you have to work up to it
Complains about texture. Goes on to say peanut butter is great.
?!?!?!?!
Yes? One is smooth and the other isn’t.
