Has BA gotten more stingy on the warm nuts?
Travelling to ORD in F last week I was being served a total of 5 wam nuts (3 almonds and 2 cashews) with my drink. They were served in a really tiny cup. I haven't travelled in F for a year, but I swear the quantity used to be larger?
Another cost cutting measure? Seems a little stingy to me.

It did look pretty poor, I heard others commented and asked for refill which they were given. Personally I don't really like nuts, so it didn't matter to me. Just thought those tiny cups looked a little sad.

If they had more to serve, I'd say it was a silly presentation. Or maybe the crew had lots of passengers who just nibbled on a few and thought people didn't want many or something. Still, it wouldn't have been very pretty to look at, so I'd say it wasn't a great idea to serve so few when they could have served more purely because it would have looked silly/stingy.

I asked why on the PRG-LHR flight they said that they didn't serve nuts and was told the flight is too short ... It has a difference of 5-10 mins if that.

Hasn't been bird seed for ages, certainly as far as my domestics have been concerned. [Well certainly not the real bird seed disaster of yuck that prompted the term.]
The Dormens stuff is quite good. Although I prefer the mediteranean crisps they do to the savory nibbles.
