lirruping's Roasted Subway Nuts

[lirruping]

I started out trying to make something that would fix me the way a Firebrand juice called Crixus used to do. The emphasis is on peanuts, and to a lesser extent, other nuts--not peanut butter. This was a little sweeter than Crixus from the get-go, but equally interesting.

It reminds me of those nuts you can get from the guy with cart in the subway. If you're not familiar, they're fresh roasted, salty, greasy, sweet and delicious. The INW Peanuts changes and becomes less sour and salty with sitting, but remains distinct. I start liking this recipe a lot about a week after I've made it.

Roasted Subway Nuts by lirruping

2% inw peanuts
0.5% fa hazelnut
0.5% fa nut mix
0.5% fa walnut
1% tfa toasted marshmallow

To make it stronger,sweeter and creamier, add:

2% tfa Peanut Butter
1% fa coconut

Doing so won't peanut-butterize it, and surprisingly, you won't (or at least I don't) really taste the coconut.

Adding 1% tfa coconut candy knocked it over into coconutty territory, but the peanut/nut mix vibe is still predominant.

I haven't tried this yet, but I think a small amount of fa honey (like, .02%) + 1% fa marshmallow in place of the tfa toasted marshmallow might be even more like the vendor nuts. I'm also thinking about variations on the original (top) recipe that work a little fa torrone and/or fa meringue in there.

Looks interesting. I have to order the INW Peanuts though.

I think INW Peanuts is a lovely flavor--well worth having. But it definitely isn't like anything else I've tried, and is in no way a sub for peanut butter. If you do try the recipe at some point, I'd love to have some feedback. ATM I've got nobody around to critique my efforts!

I'll try most anything outside of FA Bread Crust, LA Watermelon, and Pluid once. I'll be putting together a shopping list of odd things I need, soon. INW Peanuts will be on it.

@lirruping Do you think I can sub out with this.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-e-liquid/diy-e-liquid-flavors/flavorsexpress/peanut-by-flavors-express-10ml.html&ei=QpVbVYyTKYrlsAWqnYHoCw&usg=AFQjCNHtcoKn_pvbK55Xm1wB8o02KbKfhQ&bvm=bv.93756505,d.b2w instead of the inawera peanut? Hmm. I might have to look for some memorial day sales on flavors. I do want to try your recipe when I get all the flavors. I have all the FA flavors. I already have the FE Peanut is why I ask. I never really used it yet. Its sitting/waiting to be used.

Hey Artemis! I didn't even know that FE Peanut was a thing. Or that it was nearing Memorial Day... lol.
Does FE Peanut have a salty/sour kind of thing going on? That element in the INW Peanuts is important in this mix. As far as subbing, never having tried it I can't really say, but I hope you go for it and say what it is like. It might not be the same, but I can't imagine it wouldn't be good--unless the concentration really differs dramatically--and you could always adjust for that.

PS: Aw, you axed awesome zombie girl!? And what is your new avi holding in her hand--I can't make it out. I hope it's a scorpion.

I've always wanted to try Pluid, but am way too cheap to spring for a bottle. From halfhearted attempts to clone it, I don't think I'd like it anyway. You don't like the radiator fluid reference or is it the absinthe? Oh, it's the color?

shoot, now I'm on ecigexpress.com and my credit card is burning a hole in my pocket. Thanks a lot, Artemis! Geez.

 

[lirruping]

I hope you at least use one of their coupon codes.
I'm going to try the fa Honey and marshmallow too.

I suppose I should order this week. I don't think ecx will have a better coupon code than 10%.

awesome. I can't wait to hear how it comes out. I'm off to check my "promotions" mail folder (which I almost always forget about) for that coupon.

Glad to see this is a real recipe and not an account of what happened when you hopped the rails whilst going commando!

This looks interesting ... I don't have all the flavors unfortunately. I might have to wait on some more feedback before I try any new peanut flavors though.

Sorry, poor attempt at humor ... was joking about the recipe name.

Oh, derp! lol, yes, lots of nuts in the subway, for sure. I too feel like there's a joke in there somewhere, but the only things that occurred to me were marginally funny at best and at least borderline inappropriate, so I gave up. :/

The absinthe, I've only tried TFA's Absinthe, but that was enough to drive me off.
