    I know you read my reply and downvoted even though you had nothing. This is seriously distressing. Don’t let your pedantry put people’s lives in danger.

      In the 12 years of my career, it has never, ever been an issue when both items are on our menus.

      Also, gonna be honest, if you dont know the difference between a nut and a peanut and you are dangerously allergic to either of them, you’ve got bigger problems than just an allergy.

        Let’s say you’re right, and that this is about “knowing the difference between a nut and a peanut”. Is it more important for you to use language strictly correctly, or to accommodate people who are using language wrong, when it comes to matters of life and death?

        Or do you genuinely believe that your personal experience means that nobody, ever is going to tell you they have a nut allergy and mean peanuts, and that those 5 sources - including a dictionary and three different health authorities - are wrong to imply that, at least in some contexts, “nut” includes “peanuts”?

        Please, tell me if there’s a third option I haven’t thought of.
