You know what, Lean Cuisine?

For future reference, I prefer to give consent BEFORE you put your nuts in my mouth.

I’ve been buying the Lean Cuisine Glazed Chicken for years, but haven’t had it in a while. I picked one up the other day, took it to work, cooked it and started to eat it. It was good, and then I tasted something nutty. It was cashews. Now, I’m allergic to several nuts (hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts) but haven’t tried cashews because I wasn’t sure. Now I am!

At least the reaction wasn’t as severe as the reaction I have with hazelnuts, but still. It seems like in this day and age it would be a good idea to put a special note when they change a recipe to include a nut, to put a little splash note on the box that says something like “now with cashews!” or something.

Maybe you should just abstain from all nuts.

I got allergy tested when I was a kid for nut allergies. I tested me for all of them individually. I tested positive for every single nut, peanut, and tree-nut they gave me. Expect for the English walnut, i tested negative for that one, I still never ate those on principle.

Fortunately, I’m not allergic to peanuts or almonds. Which is good, because I love those.

I completely know how you feel. I’m allergic to all nuts so i’ve had to be careful. I’m kinda used to it by now.

Jesus fucking Christ, are we actually just the same person?

I hope not. Maybe. I’m not sure. I’d be very scared if we were and didn’t know it.

Alright... Here’s how we’re going to find out. You know that little voice inside of your head? Does it have a name? If so, what is it?

Your first mistake was eating a Lean Cuisine.

Stop putting nuts in your mouth.

I can eat all tree nuts but... Peanuts also technically thats a legume.

Actually, most of them are acceptable. And since I never have my shit together to actually make my lunch, they are good enough.

That would upset my partner.

I stopped at DQ the other day and had a laugh at the sticker on the drive-thru window.

Pretty much said “WARNING, ERRTHANG WE MAKE HAS ALLERGENS SO IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES TO ALLERGENS DON’T FUCKIGN EAT HERE”.

I mean, it’s not like Lean Cuisine is going to kill you. I’m just a big hippie when it comes to food, and readily admit that. I’m also extremely lazy in the morning and don’t want to make a lunch to bring to work with me. So I keep lunch ingredients in the fridge at work and make lunch there.

(Also, the box for Lean Cuisine Glazed Chicken does have cashews in the picture and the description. It’s not a big huge NOW WITH CASHEWS label, but they’re not exactly hiding the cashews.)

I know, I saw it after the fact. The problem was I’ve been getting that one for years and it didn’t have cashews before. They must have recently changed the recipe. I didn’t think to look because it wasn’t a problem before. I just absent-mindedly picked it up thinking I’ve had it before and it was ok.
