Kentish Cobnut’s are cultivated hazelnuts, typically used in desserts, and are the only nuts on Earth that can be eaten straight from the tree.
John met with Chairman of the Kentish Cobnut Association Alexander Hunt who was quick to discuss the “large, moist and succulent nature” of the cobnuts.
This seemed to tickle viewers at home, who immediately took to Twitter to post their remarks on the segment.

Sarah, do you enjoy being a nutter?
"Let me crack one for you John #Filth #CountryFile,” one Tweet quoted.
“#countryfile have to be careful how you say Kentish cob nut,” joked a second fan of the show.
A third bluntly posted: “Massive cob nuts!”
Later in the episode, John revealed that the that harvest the nuts every year call themselves nutters.
"Sarah, are you a nutter? Do you like your nuts like this, fresh and green?"
