Jordan Almonds

Goldlie11 · June 2010

Please help FI and I end our debate.

mandysmear · June 2010

Wow, I haven't seen anyone post about jordan almonds in a long time.

wadingmoose · June 2010

I've never seen a jordan almond or been presented with one to eat.

I suspect that there is telling me everythign I need to know about them.

wadingmoose · June 2010

Although, I'm hungry enough right now that I might eat them.

So if you're having a long gap or a late dinner at your reception, people might eat them.

alixzafiris · June 2010

What do you mean do you eat them? Of course you eat them, they're food aren't they?

If you mean in terms of wedding favours... Well, it depends. I'm half Greek so it's traditional to give them at the reception as part of the guest favours, but those generally don't get eaten. They're good-luck keepsakes.

jnic0319 · June 2010

I'm assuming you mean us personally. Of course they can be eaten, but who would want to??! except my sister, she actually buys them as treats haha

KTAgee · June 2010

Mmm.. Jordan Almonds... I'm the weirdo that buys them at Henry's just to eat at home. ^_^

missy68 · June 2010

But I did chip the corner of a tooth on one. So now I let them get soft first. But I like them. I think I fall in a minority, though.

Moneypenny424 · June 2010

I'm not much of a fan myself, but my dad LOVES them.

Goldlie11 · June 2010

I like them too. FI said they're nasty and nobody eats them. I told him he was biased because he doesn't eat any nuts.

SparrowSong · June 2010

I've eaten them. I don't love them or hate them. They are just ok.

mimandjon · June 2010

I'm allergic to almonds.

noodle_oo · June 2010

Almonds make my mouth itchy so they bother me. I've been told it is a mild allergy.

But I do like almonds and I still don't like Jordan Almonds. I think they are gross.

And if you have anyone with nut allergies at the wedding, I'd be careful. People can be really sensitive even to "nut residue", so if they are favors, they might get all over the room.

pooh8402 · June 2010

no I don't. they don't look appetizing and they're way overdone.

New MIL · June 2010

We used the ultrafine coated ones at my son's reception. They're not coated as thickly and easier to eat. I saw lots of people eating them.

Yeah. It's annoying how overdone traditions are.

SarahPLiz · June 2010

My mother loves them, and I don't hate them. I'm thinking of buying some just for her.

salt78 · June 2010

Well...I don't eat them like ever, but that doesn't mean I hate them.

JanoBean75 · June 2010

Yuck. FI is half-Greek so I thought we'd have to have them. But he and his dad have never heard of that tradition. They're the only two members of their family in the US, and none of the family can come to the wedding. So we're not doing them. Probably do the other cliche candy: M&Ms.

baystateapple · June 2010

I love jordan almonds and buttered popcorn. I realize that this is weird, but it's delicious.

ricksang · June 2010

Gross. Now chocolate covered almonds, I am all over.

NillaWafer10 · June 2010

I don't like them... I also don't like cupcake wedding cakes. That doesn't mean you can't have them at your wedding

I think chocolate chip cookies are a better favor, IMO.

brookelynpaisley · June 2010

I didnt read your question. I just love Jordan almonds. Yes to Jordan almonds.

AmandaKristen · June 2010

MMmm I used to love them but after I knocked out a filling biting into one... no more for me

LD1970 · June 2010

I love them! My friend had them at her engagement party recently, and it's the first time I'd seen them in a long time. I ate quite a few.

Goldlie11 · June 2010

Thanks all. We're really not thinking about favors yet. I have no idea how it came up. I found FI's comment about no one eating jordan almonds silly. I figured I'd ask the wise women of the knot.

mags0607 · June 2010

I eat them if they are infront of me, but I wouldn't go out on purpose and buy them. Does that make sense?
