Japanese-style peanuts, also known as Japanese peanuts or cracker nuts (widely known in the Spanish-speaking world as cacahuates japoneses or maní japonés), are a type of snack food made from peanuts that are coated in a wheat flour dough and then fried or deep-fried. They come in a variety of different flavors. The Mexican version's recipe for the extra-crunchy shell has ingredients such as wheat flour, soy sauce, water, sugar, monosodium glutamate, and citric acid. The snacks are often sold in sealed bags, but can also be found in bulk containers
History
Japanese-style peanuts were created in Mexico during the 1940s by Japanese immigrant Yoshihei Nakatani, the father of Yoshio and Carlos Nakatani. He lost his job after the mother-of-pearl button factory he worked at, named El Nuevo Japón, was forced to close after its proprietor came under suspicion of being a spy for the Empire of Japan.
Nakatani had to find alternatives to provide for his family. He obtained a job at La Merced Market, where he initially sold Mexican candies called muéganos [es]. Later, he developed a new variety of fried snacks he named oranda that he named after the like-named fish. He also created a new version of a snack that reminded him of his homeland, mamekashi (seeds covered with a layer of flour with spices), that he adapted to Mexican tastes. Nakatani sold them in packages decorated with a geisha design made by his daughter Elvia. While his children tended to the family business, Nakatani and his wife Emma sold the snacks on local streets. Sales of the snacks were so successful that Nakatani was able to obtain his own stall at the market. With the help of Nakatani's son Armando, the family established their business under the brand Nipón in the 1950s; the name was registered as a trademark in 1977.
Nakatani never registered the patent for the snack. As a result, various competitors made their own versions of Japanese-style peanuts.
A Japanese version originated in Okinawa, called Takorina, has the image of a Mexican charro in the bag, and it is claimed to be called "Mexican-style peanuts", though the rumour has been disproven.

rly wish i had gone and gotten myself one of those joke tempbans while they were still just handing them out
im curious, can you undelete an account to retrieve some info? or is it completely gone for good? i feel really stupid rn lol.
Snowed the other day but I have yet to turn on my heat. Gonna see how much longer I can hack it like this, definitely need to bust out the comforter instead of just these fuzzy blankies
I’d say most Americans are against genocide until it affects their treats
By this, I mean to say that you will have a bunch of people in the social media zeitgeist posting about how they want the genocide to stop, until you tell them the least you can do is pull your support from giant Zionist megacorp
Piltover nearly folded to ambessa private army when they dont even use guns, absolutely weakest faction in runetrrerra.
(cw) zei_squirrel tweet that mentions some of the types of atrocities occurring in Palestine
been quite a while since the r*pe word filter was added and it still eats the character before and smushes the previous word into the "removed". any chance that could be fixed?
Wait, new Kendrick drop is on Bandcamp?! Nice, can download it through legal channels 
Not that I'm above 
but as someone fed up with streaming and algorithmic music I really love the increasing adoption of bandcamp and similar services. I'll sail the seven seas any day of the week, several times, but I prefer paying for music from living artists if I can get them in the format I want.
then maybe buy something from an artist who is not already rich as fuck?
I do too, mostly listen to indies, and don't hold piracy against anyone, anyways. More excited about big artists helping legitimize non-streaming stores, it isn't that deep.
I know we can't comment on the current struggle session, but cashews we superior to almonds.
In terms of the severity of my allergic reaction to them cashews are much worse
Have you ever heard of a pastry with cashew paste? Like a cashew marzipan? Genuinely curious now
For snacking yes but for milk?
Anything other than oatmilk is revisionist.
You'll take my almond milk out of my smoothies over my dead body :almond-rampage:

Arcane ended similar to the captain america show-where he just scolds the UN leaders into becoming better lol. Literally the oppressed people get ONE token council seat but the status quo is maintained, after the two sides lay down their arms to combat an "foreign superpower" interfering in the city. The cultural hegemony of liberalism is bluntly on display there.
Riot games but please don't actually riot politics

So I got around to watching that "Transformers One" movie. Was it written by an LLM?
It was written by multiple people taking ideas they have seen before and blinding them together. So technically yes. If a computer did it or of a group of people powered by calitlaism.thr output is thr same.
It's funny to think that the chapo guys are only a few degrees of separation from the ancient clownmaster on the Hillary haigiography, on account of he was Tom Walker's clowning sensei

hey i deleted my account to touch grass but through stupid cleanups of my HDD I lost all my firefox passwords and lost credentials for cgpeers a fellow hexbear member graciously provided me. If anyone would like to share their acc with me id be eternally grateful! Ive got a very good ratio and know the rules of private trackers (good ratio, dont share the torrent with anyone else, vpn, never, ever talk to the mods because theyre really touchy, etc, etc) so i wont fuck your account up. Cheers.
Japanese style peanuts are the fucking best, munching on some right now! Korean ones are definitely my favorite but the ones here in Vietnam are also great. Pretty much every Asian food store I’ve been to in the states has them so I highly recommend everyone to give them a try if they can!
Wow I have not drank alcohol or even wanted to for like a month. I'm not even trying to quit I just haven't been out.
UPDATE!!! My parents took me for lunch and bought me two (2) pints of cider. My tolerance is now so low that that is enough to make me tipsy. I will now play Disco Elysium
Mega mega mega THREAD 
I love me some coated peanuts.
Im still working on my trangles weave, kinda slowed down for a bit but Ill finish it this weekend. After 13 repeats my black weft ran out so I swapped to using white thread and it looks pretty cool, hopefully Ill be able to get a fu 13 out of the remaining warp so its evenly split but idk.
Also Ive been working on a new pattern 👀 see if you can spot what makes this one special
