The Spousal Unit and I received an order yesterday from one our favorite stores. It's a specialty food store in Buffalo, NY (our hometown if you're unaware) called Premier Gourmet. They carry a whole slew of items made in and around Buffalo that we just can't get in Indiana. Things like Chiavetta's Barbecue Marinade, Weber's Horseradish Mustard (which is easily, and I mean easily the greatest horseradish mustard in the solar system), & Weber's Hot Texan Sandwich Sauce which is great on pretty much anything. They also roast their own coffee and we order enough of it to give Juan Valdez's trusty mule a back ache just thinking about it.
Sylvia decided to surprise me and ordered a little treat called Buffalo Wing Nuts which, if you were too lazy to click the link, are spicy coated peanuts. They are mighty tasty.
Oh, about the title of this post. I looked on the back of the Buffalo Wing Nut package and it lists this as allergy information:
This product is packaged on equipment that packages peanuts.
Is that because they ARE peanuts or is there another, more mysterious reason? I'm sure they print that on everything for legal reasons because some dude in Nevada had a conniption after not being told that his peanuts may contain peanuts but, gee whiz, let Darwin do his thing here.

My daughter was worried about bringing a peanut butter sandwich to school because some kid might be allergic to peanuts. Apparently the schools are all in a tizzy about that. My response? "Screw them. If you want peanut butter, you can have peanut butter"
You know what's funny about the peanuts thing?
If you look at the picture you've linked to, it's as if they just set the bag of peanuts on the floor, leaning up against the wall, to take the picture for their website. (You can see what I mean better if you enlarge the picture.)
I'm not knocking your snack or anything. I just think it's funny they were like "hey, just set the bag down here and take the damn picture!"
limpy: Yeah, I tend to not be overly concerned about people's allergies. If you'll die if you brush up against gluten, stay home. Although a friend of mine is deathly allergic to mushrooms so I do pay attention to that. Poor girl. Never able to do 'shrooms.
o'butter: A lot of their pictures are that way. I have a feeling they hired a photographer for an hour and just lined up everything in the store. GO GO GO!!!
O'Butter - Buffalo may not be a fancy place to eat, but it sure is a GOOD place to eat.
Don't get me wrong--I was definitely not knocking Buffalo or the quality of the food there! Any place that's home to wings . . .
But is Genny Light as popular there as it is in Rochester? Blech. Let's hope not.
I do miss Genesee 12 Horse Ale. Haven't gotten that in the upstate NY area for about 5 or 10 years now.
Yeah, stupid warnings. I'm still waiting for them to come and get me for removing the tag off my mattress.
Are you kidding me, they package peanuts on the peanut packaging machine. Well I'll be.
pg: If I had to guess I'd bet you removed the tag in the hopes the mattress policeman would be hot. "And gee officer, while you're in my bedroom with those nasty looking handcuffs..."
oooooooooohhhhhh, but that did bring a much needed smile to my face.
Thanks, P.
pg: That's what I'm here for. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go Mattress Police Training School now.
