Yep.
The rules:
1. You vote once per day
2. You vote by adding a point to something you like, and subtracting a point from something you don't.
3. Once a nut/seed has 0 points, it is eliminated and cannot be voted for again.
4. "Nut" and "seed" innuendo welcome.
5. For this EG, consider whatever uses of these nuts/seeds as you see fit - nut "milks," raw, roasted, nut butters, sprouted, as a flour, etc.

Corn nut...seriously???
(I thought filbert was hazelnut?)
corn nut was on a list! I was like ??? corn nut? They are good, though. I don't know about filbert. Guess so.
Yo, coconut is a nut! It's the only EG it fits into. LEAVE COCONUT ALONE.
I'm not gonna include corn nuts, 'cause they just seem to be the dry kernels (grain!) fried. Even though they are delicious.

SORRY CORN, YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE.
...I looked up "unhappy corn nut" and got scenes from the movie Heathers...
coconut is a fruit not a nut?!
COCONUT IS A NUT, PEOPLES. the delicious flesh part is the endosperm of a seed.
the outer husk is the "fruit" akshully. unless you guys are eating that part instead of the delicious coconut meat and water, in which case, i pity you.
I eat the part that's toasted and in the bag. ;)
WELL THEN THAT'S THE ENDOSPERM.
YOU'RE EATING SPERM
Mmmmm....toasted, white sperm.
this is bs...
i see a continuous argument over this "nuts" presence in this thread...
avocado... cough cough... tomato.. cough cough
minke, you are distributing... for reals <3
CocoNUT. Weirdos. It only becomes a problem (although strange..) when something is on TWO lists (tomato). Other than that, it's all accounted for at least.

Disturbing?
I didn't think hazelnuts and filberts are the same. Filberts are big and oblong; hazelnuts are small and round. Right? If not, then what are those big ones - tastes/texture like a macadamia nut but much bigger - in mixed nuts?
Filberts:

"Filbert is an alternate name for a Hazelnut"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filberts
maybe you're thinking of brazil nuts, charlie. i think i've seen them called filberts, though i guess it's not correct.
also, brazil nuts are GROSS.
any more additions to the list?
What about coffee and cocoa beans (which are actually seeds?)? Hmmm...I would hate for coffee to win, though.
