Crows have surprisingly diverse taste and are capable of delaying gratification. We feed peanuts, kibble and cashews, and of those the cashews are considered so delicious, that some crows will refuse other food in hopes that we'll hand out cashews.
It's pretty cute how disappointed they can look when they realize you just threw a peanut.

Yet they will certainly make a face when given lesser food. Also, keep an eye out for one crow watching for you to appear with treats. Once you do, he'll call the rest of the tribe. I noticed a ypunger crow doing this. Unclear if it was assigned the task as a junior, or did so for street cred. Adults were busy at this time of year showing juveniles how to find food and such.
