I used to like them when I was a child, but now I just feel like they're tedious and boring.

Try roasting them in their shells on a tray in the oven and also boiling them in the shells in lightly salted water. Or just plain and still delicious.

How long would you roast them for? I used to soak soya nuts and roast them in the oven but you can see when they're done.

I do them on 350 for about 20 minutes Kizzy then take them out, shell them and sprinkle a bit of sea salt on them - delicious.

I've never tried soya nuts but have roasted most other types.

Let me know how you get on with the roast monkey nuts and if you enjoy them. :wavey:

i like cashew nuts

I keep my cashew nuts loose in a clean hankie, then every time I get one out someone always says; "Bless you."

(if you don't get the joke meet me at midnight in the casbah and I'll explain it):hehe:

I love them, but I deliberately don't buy them because I make a pig of myself and eat the whole bag.

I don't get how people have never heard of them, they are everywhere in the stores and shops etc at Halloween and when we were trick or treating you would get a bag of goodies and a handful of monkey nuts :think:

I love monkey nuts, my parents always buy a massive bag around Christmas time and between the three of us and my sister who pops round regularly, they don't last very long :laugh:

Josy, I think it's only in Scotland we call them monkey nuts... they don't seem to get called that everywhere.. 0_o

Maybe it's further South then.

I do recall having a conversation about it somewhere online and a lot of people didn't call them that. :/
