Talk:Mixed nuts

message: The filbert and the hazelnut are closely related, but the hazelnut is the one that is more widely grown and used in mixed nuts. In Oregon, and some other parts of the United States both filberts and hazelnuts are called hazelnuts, which further muddies the distinction. This vendor has some decent detail on the difference and usage in roasted mixes and other areas:  -Harmil 14:47, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I'll modify the sentence to give filberts and hazelnuts equal weight. The former is supported by the source cited, but the latter appears in the other sources, as well as all over Google. Melchoir 20:56, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: peanuts are legumes.  does that mean that all legumes could be called nuts?
:To head off confusion, there used to be a qualifier in the very first sentence saying "in the culinary sense", as opposed to biological classifications. I'll restore it. Melchoir 20:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: i feel that the way that this article is strongly US biased with a section specifically regarding US customs and regulations regarding mixed nuts. Maybe a section on 'laws affecting mixed nuts' would promote inclusion of more non-US centric content. Jroddi 17:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The Good article nomination for  has failed
:Well, first I just wanna say: Wow what a fascinating article! I was impressed by the research and amount of information on such a seemingly mundane topic.  The pictures are all under good liscenses.  Great job there.  I would pass it for a good article, however, there is little information on this food and people, which is mandatory for a food article.  This is particularly a problem since the lead paragraph alludes to cooking, but the body article doesn't really deliver.  The first paragraph in market does touch on where it is popular, but that is about it.  Perhaps some recipes or dishes featuring mixed nuts could be briefly touched on (even in various countries).  When do people eat mixed nuts?  During which activities? Are there regional differences between what people prefer?  Are there resturants, or vendors or carnivals that boast about mixed nuts, or use them in some odd way? Have they had surges in popularity ever, maybe because of an incident or a popular ad campaign?  These are just questions to incite discussion, not everything may apply.  Some external links might also be nice.  See Hamburger, for a good example. Otherwise, this is a neat little article.

replies: text: Thanks for the detailed review! I'm afraid I don't have any human-oriented references, nor would I know where to look, and I've squeezed the existing refs pretty hard already. The only information on popularity is from economic publications, and the allusions to cooking are mere cookbook recipes. Consumer Reports mentions "holiday parties" in passing, but that's all. It's conceivable that someone has written a broad, top-down introduction to mixed nuts, but I'll need help to find it! Melchoir 19:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked around to see if there was more discussion elsewhere, because now "good article" reviews are more codified and complicated. In 2006 when this review happened I think that all the records of reviewing happened here in this section.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:54, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
