Pine Nut Conspiracy

Am I imagining things, or has the proportional representation of pine nuts in American Airlines' warm, nuts mixture gone way, way up lately?

On those blessed but all too rare occasions when I get upgraded to First Class on American Airlines, we're usually treated to a highball glass of warm salted nuts--a mixture of almonds, cashews, filberts, pecans and a sprinkling...a sprinkling mind you, of pine nuts.

Well on my last few flights, the pine nuts seem to have pretty much taken over the joint. This cannot stand.

God created pine nuts to be a supporting player, not the star of the show. If a good nut mixture is the movie Young Frankenstein, then the pine nuts are Inspector Kemp, the constable with the wooden arm. Funny and interesting, but not a character that could carry the entire movie.
