You're not a traditionalist at heart are you WLD?

I'm not sure a peanut should really be allowed in an English folk club. Hazelnuts and Chestnuts and Filberts I'm ok about but the peanut sits uncomfortably in a traditional setting. It doesn't seem right somehow - the dry roasted particularly which is a very recent style. Similarly brazil nuts are ok in a jazz club but not folk. I think I'd need to know what sort of nuts are available before I went. Having a club which just serves 'nuts' doesn't seem very clear to me as I could go along and any sort of nut could be served.
