OK here's my peanut story. My Pa was a cop and he'd come home in the middle of the night to check on Mom when she was pregnant with me, cuz my Daddy was over seas. The only thing she ever craved was boiled peanuts. Pa would go back out and pick her up a bag.

So of course it is hereditary that I LOVE boiled peanuts. Mom swears she doesn't want any flowers on her grave, just a patch of peanut plants.

When I met Pearls a few years back, she was a good sport and tried one. She said she didn't care for any more, thanks. I was like boiled peanuts are better then sex! She said well I don't know what kind of sex you've been having then.

My fondest boiled peanut memories are of being a child and my Gigi would take me to the high school football games. Back in the day it was cold or at least cool during football season. She'd buy me a bag of warm boiled peanuts and let me at 'em. Finally she'd get tired of watching me waste so much of the "goody" because I didn't know how to open them properly she'd open them for me.

The other thing about boiled peanuts is....

Waves to Snowy, and yes rav I seem to forget that some things are regional also.

I would try the boiled peanuts
I'd also spit them out of my mouth if I didn't like them
You'd know for sure then if I didn't like them instead of me being polite about it, lol

If I'm able to make the reunion next year I'll bring enough for everyone to try. Wolfy I might send you some when it cools off, they will sweat and sour if they get hot.

Question? are the boiled peanuts only in SC or can you get them here in NY gosh they have everything!!

Blade · 09-28-2010, 01:53 PM

I'm sure if you can find them in NY they are not the same as good ole SC boiled peanuts. They have a brand in the convenience stores down here now and the first time I got them I thought OMG I hope someone passing thru doesn't try these and think this is what boiled peanuts really are like.

Cooking boiled peanuts is a science in itself. The best of the best are in Ga, SC, and NC. Right now my favorite P-nut guy is in Shelby. I stop every time I go to the mountains and have been known to ride up to Shelby just for the day to get his P-nuts.

i know they are in other states besides SC, but i don't know how many & which ones. Some grocery stores sell them in a can or a pouch.....do NOT try those before you get the chance to try "real" ones!

i'd be interested in knowing where else they are eaten.

Blade, i've done that too, taken off towards the mountains to find a road side vendor just to get peanuts!

I have seen a vendor or two on the side of the road here in Middle Tennessee. I have never tried them.
