A tub? I only get them if they're in foil packets, tubs don't sound nice...

It's a big 550gram tub. But you could be right, maybe it won't keep them fresh? Didn't think about that.

I don't want to chuck the whole thing away but I don't want to eat them:confused:

Yes definitely better when they're in foil packets. I have tried them out of a tub once and they weren't nice.

I have a habit of licking the salty shells, end up with the tip of my tongue all sore ;)

I have an Iranian friend. He gets them from "home" where they grow wild by the kilo. He then drops a few off for me.

+1. The gf is fussy with things like this and insists Morrisons' ones are far and away the best, even over places like Waitrose and M&S.

When you have eaten a kilo bag to yourself your need or wanting of Pistachio nuts drops.
