Wet Walnuts

[froggi]

Hi all
Anyone know where I can find some "wet walnuts" in the Sheffield/South Yorks area? Please help me, pretty please!!!!

Sorry that I can't help but what are 'wet walnuts'??

[TheHat]

A wet walnut is a freshly shelled walnut, some that has been put in little packets for the shops is old and dried.

I think you'd have to get them straight from the tree.

Surprisingly, Waitrose on Ecclesall Road sold some along with green hazelnuts a couple of years ago. They usually have a Yorkshire produce section that's worth checking out. If I spy some there, I'll let you know, but take a look if you're around that way.

I've got loads over here- which is no use to you though

...but what I'm wondering is what are you planning on doing with them?

Our local greengrocer used to sell them, I love eating fresh walnuts, but we haven't seen any for a few years now. Perhaps it's one of those things only small local greengrocers sell, and there's not so many of those still around.

At our local street market you can buy wet walnuts. Am I too late for the ones you salt and pickle. My mum used to do them (god bless her). It seems to be a right messy job but before I pop my clogs (thanks google) I want to do it.

i've got loads too, like nicos, but am in France as well, so no use either!!! not got a neighbour with a tree in the garden?

Very big! But I suppose they must start small. The trouble is that you have to wait 20 years for the first crop - and some of us don't have that long!!!

When I turned 60 I began to think like that. Thank goodness I ignored myself. Today I have mature plants to enjoy.

There were wet walnuts at our farm shop a few weeks back only for a couple of weeks yum. I kept them on the kitchen counter, no one could resist when visiting, I only got to eat a few and now there's no more I'm thinking of planting cobnuts though...

I think its easier to just buy a tree rather than plant a seed 20 years gosh!!
