    We had a melon salad on Sunday - Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats Cheese - and it was damned good.

    I read that as... "Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats, Cheese - and it was damned good." I needed to read it again to realize it wasn't goats and cheese. :)

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

        No, the warning is correct. Peanuts are legumes[^], not nuts. If there were only peanuts, the warning would not be needed.

          Wise words master. I endeavour to offer peanuts to anyone claiming a nut allergy.

          A co-worker is allergic to tree nuts, not ground nuts (such as peanuts), So, there IS a significant difference...

            I had a packet of Walnuts and Almonds with the disclaimer: May contain sunflower seeds. :confused:

              Walkers Crisps should put a "may contain Crisps" warning on their packets.

                        Would that politically correct.

                        As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
