Yeah, I love walnuts too and was trying to figure out how to describe the taste, and gave up.

Hmm. Interesting. I mean, my reaction to walnuts is pretty much, "AUGH. Walnut! Get it out of my mouth!" It makes me so sad when people put it on dessert.
And now I am distracted from my boredom because I have discovered wank.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What fandom is wanking this lovely morn?
Walnuts can be somewhat bitter to me, but what I really dislike is their texture and their propensity to get stuck in my teeth.

Do people generally hate all nuts, or just some nuts? I have never met a nuts I absolutely loathe, but thinking back over the nut-haters I have known, many of them seemed perfectly okay with, like, peanut butter and peanuts in the hand. They just hated the idea of happening upon a nut where it was not specifically requested.
(Not counting allergic people.)
I am a fan of hazelnuts in all formats, including Dunkies coffee. Walnuts are okay, but almonds are better.

Walnuts taste bitter and wrong to me. What do they taste like to other people?
bitter and wrong. sometimes a bit tangy, but not in a good way. I dont like them, and will substitute pecans (pronounced peh-CAHN) in recipes.

Walnuts taste to me like chicken stir-fry with soy sauce smells.

I'm a nut-lover, unless the nuts be bitter and waxy.

This is me. I think walnuts taste like almonds crossed with pecans (pronounced peh-cahns) minus any cherry tones and with a bit of bitter in its place.
