Allegedly, the CC refer to a warm nut as "Betty", so when ordering more the cry of "Betties in 12K" can be heard in the galley. But only warm nuts.

I'm just waiting for the ''Yet another enhancement...BA ice cubes have got smaller'' thread.
It really wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that this was for real. I could say more but I'd be banned for it!

Sing along with me this morning everyone!

"Peanuts, almonds, cashews and walnuts...these are some of the nuts I love."

"Pistachios, hazelnuts, Nutella*, Kellogg's Crunchy Nut* and peanut butter*!"

​"From California to the Middle East to the Far East"
​​​​​​
"From breakfast to lunch to dinner and supper"

"Munch munch munch, what a spectacular feast!"

"Have them in cakes and biscuits for an afternoon treat!"

​​​​​​​"Have them in icecreams, chocolate or anything else sweet"

"​​​​​Crunch crunch crunch, roast them, grind them, sprinkle them, do what you to them!"

"Eat them, savour them, snack on them, nuts are for any occasion, no problem!"

*contains nuts

Reminded me of this old clip where a hard man likes his nuts covered in lashings of the white stuff -

Nothing surprises me anymore, I am British.

Nobby’s Nuts is a popular brand in Australia. “Nibble Nobby’s Nuts”
Lots of Nobby’s Nuts TV ads can be found on YouTube. This is a good one.

Given this is BA we're talking about, you're more likely to hear: "I'm sorry sir/madam, I'm afraid the only thing we have got left are Percy Pigs."

I'd like to nominate this as thread of the year.

though in the spirit of not veering off topic, i must mention that nuts are good when eaten room temperature too, and you don't need to gamble about the texture when served that way.

Well, I ‘ve used to RBP button to ask where this should be flagged up to the wider FT Community.

I wish I hadn’t started Googling.
The best unsolicited advice I ever got from a random old lady at the Park Slope Food Co-op was to soak my nuts.
Soaking your nuts before you roast them will greatly enhance their flavor.
Good nuts come to those who wait:
Roasted cashews recipe, and why you should soak nuts.

Are warm nuts a matter of policy, or can I ask for my nuts to be served in their natural state?
I personally like the Nuts warm as i generally put them on my Salad. Keep warming them

Seriously??!!

I am asounded that the temperature of this flyer's FREE NUTS is even worthy of a discussion. It's a perk dude or didette. Don't eat them if you don't like them. I think a more worthy discussion is flight safety, discrimination on board, or unruly , rude passengers!
