I have heard both but i wasnt there. It is coke though. I know it was rc and a moonpie.
“And salt on watermelon.”
Salt (a bunch) and Black pepper on watermelon and cantaloupe. East Texas thing.
I’m not too fond of the canned ones. I like them fresh and in South Carolina they have green peanuts right there at the grocery store. Boy I love them. I’m growing a few this year, hoping to have some green peanuts—they cost a bloody fortune to get shipped. It can be done with raw peanuts but those aren’t quite the same.
RC cola and a moon pie is called the migrant breakfast in south FL. Mr. GG2 and I just snagged a moon pie on the way out of Bass Pro the other day. 😆
100% Correct!
I never put peanuts in my Coke. I like peanuts too much to muddy their flavor.
“balled Peanuts” on the other hand are Georgia Caviar and should be declared the state food.
There are some GREAT recipes for them to use in an insta-pot.
Check with a nearby Publix. Ours always has some RC.
Juneteenth is tomorrow with a new Fed holiday Monday. Will be lots of Watermelon, Cantaloupe (salted), Barbeque pork, potato salad and maybe some coke and peanuts consumed in East Texas.
Not making fun of anyone or anything just recognizing history and tradition.
As Bro Dave Gardener used to say...”An R-a C Cola and a moon pie!”
Pepsi was invented in New Bern, NC to pin point it. There is a small museum in downtown New Bern in the original building devoted to the drink.
Coke.
Peanuts and coke make lots of co2. Need to “water down” with some Jack.
Love both. I grew up in Georgia. Don’t forget sweet tea. I now live in West Texas. I don’t think sweet tea is much understood west of Ft. Worth.
I haven’t had peanuts in Coke for years. It was a treat back when I was a child.
My son and his friend asked me if a pineapple sandwich is really a thing. I need to make him one.
Tomato sandwiches are even better.
I could go on all day!
I use my Instant Pot. It works great.
“I thought it was pepsi, not coke.”
If you want to get really traditional, it was RC (Royal Crown) cola.
“I think the first iteration was peanuts in RC Cola. When my grandparents were growing up in rural Mississippi during the depression most everyone drank RC Cola, not Coca-Cola.”
I just made the same comment. My father was from Ellisville, Jones County (Free State of Jones), MS.
Up here in the hollers of Mange County, we consider Cheetos and Tang to be a basic food group
Yeh, those small eight ounce glass bottles with a nickel bag of peanuts poured in it. Loved this as a kid but have forgotten about it over the years. May try to reconstruct it 😉
Tomato and Mayo sandwiches.
Tomato pie!
Boiled peanuts and sweet tea.
AKA redneck caviar and champagne
That's a Louisiana thing, too (Pickapeppa has always been imported through the port of New Orleans).
