      Don't you find the shells a bit dry?
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        Yes. So I don't eat that part.

          I would say it's the manual activity involved - so little reward for the effort that you just have to keep going to get some degree of ROI.

                      But the ROI is quite high; I can shell them slightly faster than eat them so I am continuously eating.

                      However, I do think you are half right about the manual effort. It is also engrossing activity requiring a nicely high level of concentration.
                      So it keeps your busy like chewing gum; it is just a bit fiddly so a pleasure comes from the little skill required; it is engrossing like colouring in; it is entertaining like soduku.

                      Plus, they're nice to eat.

                      It's almost a perfect pastime for an omnivorous mammal with opposable thumbs, high cerebral ability and bifocal vision.
