I've eaten things in China, Viet Nam and Thailand that would make you blush - Sure I'd take your cashews and buy you a drink - especially if it was dark 737 on a long flight - or any UEX flight...

Lol no - in the public markets / streets / bars of non-major cities - typically after plant inspections and long days of meetings and endless dinners and the resulting loss of most of my common sense...

Point being is if I will try eating maggots, duck blood, pig brain / stomach or fried scorpions / tarantulas I'm not worried about his nuts...

After you complete your service in F cabin, why not go down the Y cabin to sell them as part of your own BOB service. BTW try using the in-seat power outlet to power your hotplate.

Well i am just back from whole foods i got 1 pound of unsalted cashews and 12 paper Hilton coffee cups i will be serving these as soon as the seatbelt sign comes off.

Don't think there is any rule against this?
If they're salty, add Skittles. I invented adding Skittles to trail mix last week at a United Club. They're yummy.

Seems like united express gave up on cashews and started serving little packets of trail mix

Will you serve them on a plate or just hand over a bag? If the latter, make sure Heather Cho from Korean Airlines is not on your flight.

I would never do this. I'd have my assistant do it for me.

And next month's video is Jeff talking about the great savings passed on to fliers by cutting out their traditional vendors and sourcing from right there in the plane.

How long before someone starts a thread complaining that the nuts served by another passenger weren't warm enough?

I think no one else in F will appreciate the extent that warm nuts mean to you, and think you're a little odd. The FT obsession with the experience of flying is lost on 99.9% of the population, even in F.

Just like you would probably be puzzled if someone next to you at the gas pump started going off on a fascinating lecture on how he could hear the valve timings in your engine were off by 0.1 second.

Learn to let it go.
