But I'm not talking about Americans! And my wife is not American!

Joking aside, I look forward to the cookies at DT - I am not allergic to nuts, and I like eating nuts on their own, but I'm not that keen on them hidden in food. I reckon the DT cookies would taste better without the walnut, but that's just a personal opinion.

Didn't realise the DT bags warn about nut products - I have a feeling that may be a new feature.

And I REALLY like the idea of some of the DT establishments other people have mentioned whereby they offer an alternative welcome gift if the guest is allergic to nuts. A nice touch.

Good to get the feedback on just how well the cookies gone down with y'all.
