There’s something about sitting down and cracking nuts, you know what I’m saying.

My Pudgy Grandma and Grandpa always had peanuts in the shell in a bowl in the living room. Me and my cousins would fill the little garbage can they had under the coffee table many times when we’d go there.

There’s something about that Earthy flavour you get when eating them straight out of the shell.

Anyone else enjoy them as a snack?

Beer and peanuts, one of life's perfect combo's.

yup you gave me the idea , so I am calling it lunch

Glad I could help.

Love em!

Really like boiled peanuts too. A deep south favorite. I haven't had those in many years.

Me!!!

About all local racetracks sold paper bags of roasted peanuts.

And still do!

Love them parched, hate them boiled.

I've been a fan of Peanuts since I was a kid.

I love them and eat them shell and all.

Last year when I was in the gulf I tried boiled peanuts. Saw them for years along side the roads. OMG them things are nasty. But it might be that a person has a certain taste in mind about certain foods. Nay they are just awful.

Agree, and I'm a native southerner. Nothing nastier than a slimy mushy peanut. Both taste and texture is disgusting.

But I love peanuts any other way.

Hey. Y'all. Just keep being haters

Even you, warrior....they AREN'T slimy. They are a southern thang. Like pickled eggs, grits, hush puppies. And okra.

And, who knows if what yall had were even the way the ones I liked are prepared ??? Huh ???

They are soft instead of toasted , in vinegar and salt. Just like southerners who like those pickled pigs feet and eggs. I don't like the pigs feet...

Stated with a soft southern smile....

I had to google “boiled peanuts”. Never heard of that before. Maybe I’ll try to make them some time.

I like pickled eggs. I wouldn’t dare eat pickled feet though lol.

Yeah, tried boiled goobers twice. Both times bad. Any other way tho I love em. Heck I lived on peanut butter and mom's preserves and jelly when I was a kid. Still have a fold-over for a late nite snack lol.

I prefer Hazelnuts.My Uncle in Ireland always had burlap sacks of husked hazelnuts in the barn picked wild on the farm.When I was a small kid about 5 yo he gave me a jacknife and showed me how to cut the little teat off the bottom of the nut and open it with the point.
Nothing like fresh raw hazelnuts.

Pigs feet aka trotters ain't bad. Ain't great but ain't bad. Souse is better.

Well JP, it won't hurt to try 'em. And if you don't like them, fine. Join the pahhty

Boco those raw hazelnuts sound great.

Salted in the shell the best . Buy them out of a barrel at farm store

that's because it's pronounced "balled" peanuts!
