How do you guys feel about boiled peanuts? If you haven't had them before would you try them?

>> No.17117430

They're OK

>> No.17117476

never tried them but boiled pine nuts are delicious so I imagine these are too

>> No.17117479

I buy a 500g bag of these some times in a grocery shop. They are my kryptonite.
The bag has never lasted a full 24 hours.
Feel like a pig bastard when these are around.
God I want some now

I've been recently into them. I probably stop at the gas station once a week for some.

>> No.17118312

>>17117425
Love these. The gas station kind are usually from a can, which isn't bad for the plain flavor, but the cajun flavor has a bunch of MSG which is not a flavor I like in a boiled peanut. Wetter is better because I like to start each peanut with one end between my teeth and crack along the seam as I slurp out the juice. If I have the time I'll buy green peanuts at the grocery store and make a huge pot of them. Once cooked they freeze pretty well and can be had year round. For a real treat get some valencia peanuts to boil. Those little red gems make for a most Heavenly juicy snack.

As I'm not a slack jawed southern redneck I'm not allowed to try them and wouldn't anyway

You haven't lived unless you've parked on a dirt road and gone swimming in the river to cool off with some bikini wearing Southern girls. Eating boiled peanuts and cheap cold cut sandwiches, cans of Busch keeping cold in the water, cicadas filling the air with sound and clouds of red dust swirling in the occasianal breeze. Those bikinis are just for show btw. There are lots of "oops, teehee!" moments under the waterfalls.

I don't get it.
What's the appeal, are they crunchy like other peanuts? Do you eat the shell?

They are not crunchy. You do not eat the shell. They are salty and juicy and soft.

No they're slimy and overly salty. You're supposed to put the entire shelled peanut in your mouth and suck on it. Literally disgusting.

Too fucking mushy. Boiling is excellent, but you must stop while it still give. Beyond that, it's just a fucking mess.

Top it off with all the guys forming a circle with their cars, a bonfire, beers with your lady on the hood of you car under a blanket and all the doors open with the radio on the same channel. good times..

s a floridaman with a father from alabama, Obviously I love boiled peanut, as long as they aren't so overdone that they're mush.

Most people that hate them just hate the mushy overdone gas station variety. My mother, a damn yankee by birth, always said she hated boiled peanuts until I made her stop to buy some by the side of the road.

She started eating them and couldn't stop.
