Airline removes nuts after Sri Lanka President Sirisena's rage

COLOMBO - Sri Lanka's national airline said Wednesday (Sept 12) it has stopped serving cashews after the country's president flew into a rage over nuts served to him on a flight to Colombo.

"Returning from Kathmandu, I was served some cashews on board a SriLankan flight, but it was so bad even a dog wouldn't eat it," Maithripala Sirisena said on Monday.

"I want to know who authorised the purchase of these nuts," the president told a meeting of farmers.
