[ndrew2505]

i expect people from the south to have at least heard of them but the folks up north...well not so much. whats your thoughts on this salty, tasty little snack?

 

[maxkillz]

Most of the members here don't even know how to say boiled peanuts.

My parents are from Oklahoma. Half of my family is from Alabama. Hell, we've got two cities in Bama named after us.

I LOVE boiled peanuts. My wife won't make 'em and just try finding any here in Southern California.

It is a sad life j/k

Peace,
dave

I haven't tried boiled peanuts but I have tried boiled acorns.

I have and they taste like s*** IMO. The texture isn't very appealing either.

When I tried them they were like beans. In every way they looked felt and tasted like beans, I really dont like beans.

if they were cooked right they would have tasted like fairly salty beans. boiled peanuts take a lot of salt to cook. its kind of like a wet sunflower seed as far as the appeal i guess. the only reason i eat sunflower seeds is b/c theyre salty.

I always though you boil them in the shell. :-/
