Boiled peanuts

I picked these up at WalMart on a lark last week.  $1 a can.

I'm going to see if they offer a discount on a case.  To tide me over until the harvest.

My wife loves those. I believe that company also makes them in a resealable pouch that can be microwaved too. Can't stand em myself. I like every other peanut but that variety. I think its a texture thing. I'm a Blue Diamond Smoke house almond man myself ;)

It's kind of a southern thing. I never really cared for them either. Give me dry or honey roasted any day.

Roadside stands down at Panama City, Florida, were selling fresh-cooked boiled peanuts the last time I went there to visit my dear old mom. Definitely a 'southern thing.'

The one-and-only time I was detailed to do work "on the left", as the Russians say (unauthorized work), during my Air Force duty was when a squadron officer got me and my trainee buddies collecting pecans out of the trees at Goodfellow AFB, Texas.

There in just about every gas station near the cashier here in Fayetteville/Fort Bragg NC. Its funny to me. In NC we have the boiled peanuts at the gas station..I drove down to Savannah Georgia and at there gas stations you will find boiled peanuts, but also pallets of yard mulch for sale......AT A GAS STATION....... :D ;D

I'm sure boiled peanuts are excellent for those lacking in teeth, however I prefer my peanut to have a crunch to it. :P

From the Wikipedia article:

"The process of boiling peanuts also draws antioxidants from the shells. The boiled peanuts have four times the antioxidants of raw or roasted peanuts."

Tasty and healthy!

I said the same thing about collards until I had my mother-in-laws. She is Taiwanese. She cleans them cuts them into strips and stir fries them in sesame oil and a little bacon. The closest I can describe it in terms of taste would be fresh spinach. And the smell is completely opposite of the traditional cooking method. I'd like to bottle it and use it in scented candles for my house ;D.
