I don't mind cold or hot, but I am glad finally BA serves also in J mixed nuts in a bowl, instead of giving out packets of just almonds.

Well, having missed out on my Aviator Facial at the Elemis Spa prior to my F on Thursday morning, I've now perked up no end knowing that I can look forward to the CSM warming my nuts.

Just so that I can fully prepare for the experience, will this be pre-takeoff or once airborne?

It has happened before. The Korean "nut gate" incident is so (in) famous it even has a Wikipedia page. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_rage_incident
Who knows how Alex Cruz likes his nuts...

The temperature of nuts is just one issue to contend with. Hot drinks are also an issue. I much prefer to brew to my preferred strength, so it would be good if the CC could tea bag me at my seat.

Goodness me, no. The worst abuses of tea-making abroad come about when one is presented with a no-longer boiling pot/cup of warm water and a tea bag which cannot then be inserted at the correct temperature as it is far too late.

We are BRITISH. Tea bagging should only happen in the galley.

On a VS flight 3 years ago I looked around & couldn't find my nuts anywhere, a distressing matter as i'm sure you will appreciate. Having the window seat I asked OH if she'd mind grabbing the stewardess as she came by. Being in a foul mood as it was a red eye flight she barked that I should sort my own nuts out. I told her fine but I may be twenty minutes or so. OH knowing my appreciation of the VS CC ladies in particular stayed up all night and timed my bathroom breaks. All that over a a pack of cashews

Yes, the nuts should be served at the right temperature...however also no passenger should go wanting, so it is important that the nuts are fully loaded.

Ask the FA to blow on your nuts.

If it is pre-takeoff, they might be served along with a PDB. That would be a cup of hot water. And a tea bag.

QR are the worst for this. No idea how to do this properly. I had to give the cabin crew a masterclass in tea bagging in the bar of the A380 recently. They gathered around and watched as I demonstrated with one of them and then they all gave it a go. Very messy, fluids everywhere. I can’t imagine what it would be like with a Virgin crew.

This whole thread has reminded me of those old Carry On films with Sid James and Barbara Windsor- giggling like an idiot reading the comments

Sometimes the only way to explain tea bagging is via a demonstration. And if you're doing it on a plane where you don't have warm nuts... well, it just isn't British.

I love nuts warm or cold, as long as they have more cashews
AA gives warm nuts in domestic First and they are usually crispy and they are my favorite. However on my recent BA flights, in CW it was at room temperature and in F it was hot and too soft to enjoy the nut taste. May be I should have waited, but was difficult to keep staring at the nuts

I have to ask, seriously, is this really something people can actually get upset about? I mean, there was the wine pouring at the seat vs in the galley, bread rolls, now nuts?
