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!

great for them folks with not to many teeth left

I read the thread title with out my glasses....whew , glad I put them on.....

I like them but check your teeth before going around town smiling at everyone you meet.

Salted in shell

Love em with a cold beer!!

Shell and all !?!? You making adobe bricks ?? Lol

Hubs peanuts were re-gifted to me one Christmas. I’ve been hooked since. They’re crunchy and salty. They come in sealed tins. I’m overdue for an order. I try not to eat too many because diverticulitis seems to run in my family.

Same here.

Makes for a firm turd.

I enjoy peanuts both the legume and the comic strip.

I will eat the pickled feet,,pickled eggs,,grits,and hushpuppies.You keep the okra and boiled peanuts.

I like em,also cashews,pistacios,,,most all kinds except them boiled peanuts.

LOL it's a deal, UpstateNY

I'll eat okra any way it's prepared though honestly I really can't stand this modern heavy breaded fried okra that's still half raw being served at fast food places.

Proper fried okra is rolled in seasoned corn meal and fried crisp.

I get the big bags of peanuts from Amazon. Take some to every ball game. Hard to find the good restaurants anymore, that had the peanuts on table, and let you throw the shells on the floor.

Nothing like boiled peanuts with a cold beer.

This Yankee spent two weeks on vacation in southern Georgia.
Little town called Willacoochee.
While hunting Rattlesnakes with a local one afternoon.
I had two firsts in my life.
Boiled peanuts / Cane syrup.
Both came from a little roadside vendor.

Lets just say the Syrup came back to Michigan with me.
My Rattlesnake guide couldn't grab the peanuts fast enough.
When i attempted to roll the window down.

Must be a regional thing.

Same here , gotta be careful doing that with sunflower seeds with the shell though .....

Yeah a snot covered rat turd and a beer would be pretty close

I was at Texas Roadhouse on a Friday night once and saw 3 different people slip and fall on peanut shells. Their likely being inebriated probably didn't help them any. One older woman got hurt fairly badly, from the way she carried on afterwards.

I like eating peanuts and peanut butter. I am not fond of peanuts in Asian food, because they tend to be somewhat soggy, especially in leftovers. I imagine boiled peanuts are worse, but would try them, if they were in front of me.

Keith

How do you eat boiled peanuts ? Shell and all ?

OooW! The end result can be hazardous!

No, you shell them then gag.

Lol ...then I guess I don't see the benefit. I'll have to try 'em.

heard them called boiled goobers. they were boiled green. no clue where to get them still green around here. had some spicyness. i liked it

Roto-Rooter

Walmart sells them...

Green just means freshly dug aka raw. As opposed to roasted in shell.

How many on here have grown peanuts? They're fairly easy to grow and pretty cool to watch peg. They bloom above ground then send "pegs" growing down that penetrate into the ground to make the peanuts. That's why they do best in sandy soils.

Around here people used to get a bottle of Coke, drink a little and then put as many salted peanuts that would fit.

I used to do that with beer nuts and a glass of Schlitz dark on tap.

I like to eat them with the red skin still on the peanut.

I don’t mind them I just can’t eat too many or the hemorrhoids act up.

Last time I was down in the Redneck Rivera I had some Cajun boiled peanuts that were edible. Prefer mine roasted. Burnt peanuts are good for a sweet tooth.

I always saw the signs in Georgia when driving through. Stopped and gott a large amount thinking they would be good . Had stopped just before and got some of the best grapes I had had in myy life so this time I wanted to have plenty of them. After all with all the signs they are that popular they would have to be good and I love salted peanuts in the shell right.
Joke was on me I tried to eat them since I bought them but most went in the trash. Could have justt been the place I got them didn't make good ones but have not tried them again. Maybe after I try smoked coyote. The two I put in the boiler smelted taste well kind of. Cooking meat with wood smoke

Even good ole' Andre the Giant likes peanuts!
