Almond fanatic? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nut

I believe this is a double definition.

'almond' is the first definition.
(almond is a type of nut)

'fanatic?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for nut that I've seen before include "keen admirer" , "Hard-headed person" , "Head (sl.)" , "Hard kernel of minutiae" , "Bolt's partner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
