lol This GA girl is not fond of boiled peanuts, mushy and murky tasting to me.
In our family we refer to them as “bolied peanuts”. There used to be a produce stand down on Peachtree St at Lenox that sold them as well as other fresh local produce. His handmade sign had boiled misspelled. Our daughter who was just learning to read kept saying bolied and every time I corrected her she said the sign says it that way. Finally we remembered to look and sure enough she was right. This was back in the late 70s and early 80s before that area got so built up and fancy.

I do not get “Bald peanuts” LOL

you got the mushy and salty to a tee, but where’s the roasty and crunchy?

A regional thang and I will spare you my first experience with grits which I thought were creamof corn... Now we have polenta LOL

LOL!

I was all set up to enjoy ‘boiled peanuts’, but my friend who traveled South brought back CANNED boiled peanuts. They were horrible!

I’m wondering how to make REAL boiled peanuts...
