Advantages: tasty!!!

Disadvantages: none.

Oh dear god these are so so so so so so good. Yes. Indeed. Anyway. I like nuts. I usually eat almonds, but they're so expensive, you know, like £6 a kilo at the cheapest. And I was thinking, oh, why, why, why. And peanuts are cheap. So I looked at peanuts, and I saw Sainsbury Basics Peanuts. As I love Sainsbury Basics I decided to buy them, and I did. These are very good. The end.

No. I must tell you more. I was a bit off about these due to the fact that they are salted and not dry roasted - they contain sunflower and palm oil. But the salt is so low compared to everyone else's peanuts that, really, who cares? I only eat 25g at a time and the salt in that barely matters, considering my supposed limit is 6g a day. And I don't really eat any other foods with salt in it, except bread. So I don't care, now, and I bought these and aghhhhhhhh, so nice. I am under the peanut spell. The Sainsbury Basics peanut smell. (I feel I should clarify that 'smell' was a typo, but perhaps the smell is the spell as they do smell very nice.)

The packet is excessively easy to open - it's amazing. You tear it and it goes, woo, I am open. And then you eat. Yes, the peanuts are small. But then the packaging tells you that, so I'm not misled. Actually, I prefer them small. Then when I weigh out the 25g and shove it in my hand, it's a HUGE handful and it piles across my palm. And it makes it feel like a total meal. Actually, it's a little better than a total meal as I do not enjoy every meal. For example, yesterday I had jacket potato and cheese and beans; and, for some reason unbenknownst to me, it tasted very weird. It was too cheesey. I love cheese but, that fateful day, the cheese was too much. I wanted to be sick.

I do not want to be sick when eating Sainsbury Basics peanuts; in fact, to the contrary, I want to...what is the opposite of vomiting? I want to rejoice. I don't know. It hardly matters. Anyway, these are salted and you can tell. I think it's quite nice really, and I hate salt. Not overly salty. Not overly greasy, either, though the pack is 95% peanuts so at least 4% must be oil, I guess. God, these are tasty. I just ate a portion of 'em and it was delicious. I regret eating them so fast. The good thing, also, about their size is that I am clumsy and will often drop one. And therefore, later, when I am thinking 'woe, there are no peanuts for my poor self to eat. oh, woe.' I will find one and I will eat it and the world is beautiful.

The moset important thing, though, ist he price. And these are 27 p which frankly I think is the bargain of all time. A packet will last me around 8 days, which must be around 3 p per serving. I mean, even if you ate more than me it's dreadfully cheap. A quarter of the pack - 50g - is the supposed proper serving and that will only cost ya 13 odd p. Which is cheap. Which is terribly, terribly cheap. And it will fill you. And it will comfort you. And peanut, peanut, peanut. They taste very good.

These are a real treat. Unfortunately, as I am fat, I feel I may end up buying these every week. Which will make them not so cheap, in the long term. But they are so good and so awesome and, for veggies, a good source of protein. And fat, I guess. Good fat? I think.

But who cares.

They taste good.

BUT BEFORE I STOP. I MUST FIRST SUGGEST TO YOU THAT THESE ARE THE ONE AND SAME AS SAINSBURY'S 'NORMAL' VERSION. PLEASE VIEW THE EVIDENCE BELOW.

Sainsbury basics: Peanuts (95%), Palm Oil, Salt, Sunflower Oil
Sainsbury normal: Peanut (95%), Vegitable Oil, Salt.

Actually, I got bored. But anyway, the nutritional information is also exactly the same. Therefore buy them. Therefore go. Only 0.75g salt per 100g which, fair play, is nothing. Lots of fat but it's good fat, mostly. Apparently. And argh, as I say, THEY TASTE GOOD. GO NOW.

Summary: yum.
