Well I grew up in Massachusetts eating Mass Lobsta every couple of weeks so I'm definitely not a self respecting Southerner. LOL
When I was 19, I moved to FL and learned about roadside foods like boiled peanuts. Ate ribs and greens made by old black guys who came from GA/AL and ran roadside stands/trailers. Always came with like a half a loaf's worth if slices of white bread. Smoking meats up North? Not really a thing.
GA is the peanut state and they have heavy soil so I guess that's fine for growing peanuts. My low pH might be an issue.
I have looked for and found peanut seed sources but would have to start a new search to find them again. Then again - https://www.rareseeds.com/peanut-tennessee-red - 120-140 days with 70-90 degrees preferred temp? I can see why they're a Southern thing.
I can live with the occasional canned hot boiled peanuts.
Well, you’re off the hook if you’re not a Southerner. Totally forgiven!
The family surprised us for dinner one night with stone crab claws for dinner!! A true delicacy and I enjoyed every single bite!
Heaven!
