"Hard peanuts are roasted. One boils peanuts to soften them in brine."

Maybe someone can conform this but I think "Hard Peanuts" may be a localized term for "boiled peanuts".
I've always heard them called them "boiled peanuts".

I only got 20, and I'm a Southerner enough to know we don't eat scrapple! Can I get bonus points for knowin' how to make cheese grits so good they'll make your hair stand up?

Forget Alabama - Panama City is the capital of the Redneck Riviera!

I've always heard "hard boiled". As in hard boiled eggs, or hard boiled peanuts, or hard boiled potatos. When you call something "hard boiled" it just means you boiled it until there isn't any point in boiling it anymore.

I've never heard someone use hard without boiled right behind it.

I'm suspect this test was written by a transplanted yankee. It seems to confuse the idea of rural (or country) and southern. Not everything that is rural is southern.

I've always heard the therm muscadine grape. I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to them as scuppernog grapes in conversation.

Scrapple is not a southern food (unless you count West Virginia as a southern state, but I wouldn't list it as a southern state.) Scrapple is found in rural Penn. or Indiana. It is a country food, but not a southern one.
