              Reminds me , years ago when on a plane you got a little bag of peanuts with your drink ( nut allergy and elf and safety have stopped that now ). On the reverse of one bag was written " Instructions : Open bag , eat peanuts. " :lunapic 130165696578242 5: A revelation to me !:biggrin:

                If there are parts of our younger generation that don't know where vegetables come from, then monkey nuts are a non-starter. No wonder the packets were withdrawn in this increasingly ignorant and crazy world of ours. :doh:

                  I didn't see any warning sign on these! Maybe they've changed the rules in the last couple of months :heehee:

                  They were really tasty :blue thumb:
