I have to laugh – here I am eating my canned boiled peanuts. So I decided to look’em up on the internet and came across your blog. I picked them up for a friend who will be visiting and thinks of them as comfort food. So, while cleaning I wanted a snack and thought I’ll bust open one of those cans of boiled peanuts.

Yumm, But, I couldn’t help equating them to the Edamame (soy beans in a pod) that I have in the freezer for a quick appetizer to impress my culinary friends.

To me boiled peanuts have a wee bit more savory taste than the Edamame, which has a wee bit fresher taste. Don’t know if its in the preparation or not.

But from now on, I’ll always think of boiled peanuts as the Edamame of the South. Just like I had a variation of stuffed grape leaves – made w/kudzu leaves and the rice was seasoned w/pecans. Delicious!! Both of them.

I’ve had some south in my mouth….but of course Mr.Man is from West Virginia so it just makes sense. And I’m talking about pinto beans and biscuits and gravy….hehehehe

I like boiled peanuts, and I’m not that picky about where I buy them. Some are better than others I guess, but I’ve never gotten ahold of any that kept me from stuffing them into my mouth one after another with a steady machine-like rhythm of gluttony. I like to eat them in the presence of a northerner, because they look at me in disbelief that I could eat such nasty looking things, like a primate that just doesn’t know any better. As far as they are concerned, I could be munching out of a wet paper sack of turds. It’s easy to see why; the peanuts in the above picture do have a turd-like sheen.

Come on to West Virginia Metten and experience the Pepperoni Roll. Somebody decided cramming a pepperoni stick in a biscuit was high cuisine and a food tradition was born. I guess it makes sense, since we haven’t found a way to come up with the exact formula for boiled or creamed coal.

Vicky & Shiny are correct. I never eat boiled peanuts from any commercial source. I boild them myself – very easy to do – and they are fantastic! The ones you had were over salted and over cooked.

I wouldn’t put any south in my mouth either…

We lived in Augusta GA for a year. The husband loves those damn things. Me, not so much.

I have to state that boiled peanuts purchased in a gas station are in that category of foods like pickled pigs feet and pickled eggs. It may look interesting when your drunk but your gonna eventually regret you ate it. Pass the beer nuts please…

Did you shuffle on into the men’s room and get yourself a month’s supply of condoms, too? Jesus Christ–you don’t buy boiled peanuts at a gas station. If the Hardy Farm Peanut stand is shuttered up, they’re done until next season. Those peanuts probably came from a grow tank in Thailand or somewhere.

I love boiled peanuts – but they are messy. I grew up in Alabama and Georgia and it would be anti-American to not love boiled peanuts in those areas. I actually have to order them online to get them in WV.
