I happen to prefer cashews and pistachios with my drinks. I prefer them to Macadamias, so bring a bag or two along from home or buy at some of the ME airports eg BAH (yes, I know that they serve small bags of cashews in CW). Never had an issue getting an empty bowl or plate to put them on. Helps with the shells form the pistachios.
