Nuts (edible) on EK
 
I am the only one who eats the cashews and peanuts and leaves the almonds and pistachios ?
It seems not, as I see many dishes returned with those uneaten...

You can send the leftover pistachios my way.

amnicoll Nov 24, 2019 4:26 am

my problem is to stop eating them fullstop

thijsseh Nov 24, 2019 8:00 am

I eat them all. :D

BadoRas Nov 24, 2019 8:00 am

Pardon the expression, but Emirates always gets me by the nuts!!!

BadoRas Nov 24, 2019 8:07 am

By the way, I have never seen peanuts in the mix as mentioned by Silverswimmer. Only pistachios, almonds, cashews and macadamias

Same here.

I’m a huge fan of the nuts served onboard by Emirates in F and J! They’re a special edition of Crunch-Os that are sadly not sold in supermarket. I find them to be the best quality nuts served by any airline.

I don’t know why they don’t serve the same nuts in the DXB F and J lounges. The ones there the (the almond/cashew mix) taste a bit too oily for me.

I will leave the almonds.. everything else is yummy

They are in the Melbourne (AUS) EK lounge.

No macadams in my J & F flights out of DXB last week-just the usual mix including some halved peanuts.

Pretty slow time on the EK sub forum these days when nuts can create this much interest. ;)

Wonder of the absence of a former serial poster has something to do with that. :confused:

Never studied the contents, just wolf them down.

I'll take a huge bowl of nuts compared to the meals I had in economy Thursday :( The pizza AND the scrambled eggs were completely flavorless. In 2017 the food was fairly good. What's going on with them?

kaizen7 Nov 25, 2019 11:51 am

How can we know what kind of nuts they will serve on the flight?
:D

We’ll have to ask EK for an additional tab under ‘what’s on your flight’. :rolleyes:

The India flights get those yummy chili pepper cashews in J.

That would make EK go nuts

Ryanardo_daVinci Nov 27, 2019 8:57 am

I eat the cashews and pistachios, and leave the rest.

I always eat all the other nuts and leave the cashews as I don't particularly like them. However, after looking at the plate for another hour, I always end up eating them out of boredom.

Everything but Almonds for me

Sitting in F on EK768 as I type. Just finished a plate of warm nuts - not a peanut in sight. Some broken cashew halves that could be mistaken for peanuts though. Asked the crew “no sir, there’s never any peanuts in our nut mixes”.

LongGun Dec 5, 2019 3:35 am

No Peanuts

That would be my observation too. I have never noticed a peanut in the warmed nut mix delivered to business class seats on Emirates.

Just goes to show that ones person's trash is another's treasure. I hate those India route nuts variety and have found that much of the time in F they have some small hidden spare stock of "normal nuts" but you have to ask specifically for them.

In retrospect the "peanust" were definitely split cashews--but I still always leave the almonds and pistachios,so to protect my expensive implants/bridge
