Just googled and it seems the blanched word means nothing more than skinned ... sounds fine.

I have natural yoghurt, small handful of almonds (about 5) a fistful of granola or muesli then I drizzle manuka honey, sometimes I have raspberries or strawberries too.
Eaten in moderation they are so good for us nutritionally.
Ditto, that is very like my usual breakfast too, though usually I have blueberries and half a banana on mine.
I usually get my almonds in Lidl as they seem to be the cheapest
They also sell chilli mixed peanuts and cashews which are delish with something long and cool in a glass

I put them on a metal skewer so no need to slit them, and it makes it easier to turn them.
I either do them in front of the open fire or in the Rayburn which is usually lit when the chestnuts are in season. But I have done them in the electric oven too, I suppose around 180-200'. If you don't have a metal skewer you could just put them on an oven tray, as Westender said, poke a knife in them first to break the skin so they don't explode!
