I made a stupid mistake not photographing the see through packaging of this nut mix before I started eating. Silly me, I failed to get a good pack shot. I have eaten everything: all of the nuts and most of the flavour dust caught in the corners, and there’s nothing left but an empty packet which doesn’t look particularly sexy.
Damn.
Still, this is quite a nice nut mix, easy to eat (or even scoff - I might have scoffed), although I don’t think almonds and cashews genuinely count as a mix. I should think you would need at least three of something to qualify as a mix. The Chef, slightly baffled when I asked if you need three of something to make a mix, vaguely agrees with me.
Once upon a time, a dear friend who was living in Morocco, made the horrid mistake of very kindly bringing me a bagful of fresh almonds. Freshly picked from Moroccan nut orchards, and to my way of thinking, absolutely horrible. I don’t like almonds. I don’t like almond flavour. The almond drink orgeat, so popular in the Regency, fills me with horror. And I think marzipan, famously made with almonds, tastes very nasty indeed.
But an almond, especially selected by Mr Waitrose to be caramelised and/or salted is extremely tasty.
Although I do prefer the cashews.
So, rather a nice “mix” of caramelised salted nuts.
