MCFC Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Howdy, so...we are just starting the third week in Brisbane now. Managed to find a place to live and ill be starting work in a week. Credit card has been getting hammered with buying all the domestic stuff : Fridge, washing machine, microwave, bed, mattress, sofas, tables & chairs ... etc onto my point... I got cravings of the dry roasted peanuts (like the KP ones from back in the UK). Alas I cannot find any dry roasted peanuts in all the places i have been (coles, woolies, aldi etc...) let alone the KP variety. Anyone around the Brisbane area know somewhere that sells them? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 don't say this.........I love them too! hope you get the answers you are looking for. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpodom Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 That is a very odd craving, youre not pregnant are you? Have you looked in coles, I'm sure ive seen dry roasted peanuts there, 'nobbys nuts' i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 As Dom says ,Nobbys seem to be the popular brand here,so try some of theirs and see if theyre a good substitute,, The BWS beer shops also sell them. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFC Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 haha... no not pregnant (well at least i hope i am not - I dont think my man plumbing downstairs is geared up for a baby-sized object being excreted) I did see the Nobby's nuts, but alas they were all plain salted nuts or dry roasted almonds / cashew / macademia etc. I'll take a look in BWS, hopefully they will have something that tickles my fancy. thanks!

paisleylass Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 There's such a variety of roasted/flavoured/coated nuts you're spoiled for choice but can understand the craving! That's got me hankering after the salt & vinegar dry roasted, think they were KP and not sure whether you can even still get 'em. They were wicked with a few pints o' cider! I would suggest you try one of the varieties of roasted macadamia though, even if it doesn't help the craving. The Queensland nut - the king of nuts!!

Paul1Perth Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Try one of the local IGA supermarkets. They sometimes get things in for customers and see how they go. If they become popular all the better for them. Our local one started getting McVities dark chocolate biscuits, they are really popular.

BritChickx Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I looked for them when over in Aus but never found them either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleylass Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well I was just in Disco Dan's (Murphys) for the Friday tasting, and at the counter the closest thing they had was balsamic flavour roasted peanuts which is actually closer to my salt n vinegar nutty boys!

chloe98 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 yeah, woolies /safeway do balsamic vinegar roasted style ones in a blue bag- they are cheap too, compared to nobbys etc. more salt n vinegar than dry roasted but better than nothing and very yum:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckerfa Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have looked every where for dry roasted peanuts. I've been here for 4 years and rely on people fetching them when then go/come on holiday and also from friends who have rellies in NZ. Yes they sell them in NZ. This is really sad. I emailed Smiths, who own Knobbys and said about all the UK, NZ and European (I have bought them in France) people and there must be a market for them. They replied by saying they sold them years ago and the market for them got less and less so they decided to stop making them! They also told me that they are stopping making "nude nuts". So sorry. Your going to have to import them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigC Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I've been here since 2001 and i remember when kp nuts were sold here, nothing beats dry roasted kp nuts Although, it's not too difficult to make something that tastes very similar kp dry roasted nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s713 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Never seen any over here. My Mrs is mad on them as well. There's millions of types of nuts but they're not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcman Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Knobby's beer nuts are the things you need, I love 'em. We were over in the UK recently, and the only thing you could get were those kp style things that were covered in some sort of spicy junk.
