Oh wow, where to begin ...
It's hard to explain. Yes, bauld = boiled (just said in the vernacular).
Boiled peanuts taste nothing like roasted. When peanuts are boiled, they take on the flavoring of whatever you boil them with (they have specialty versions too, like the hot, cajun ones our peanut guy brings around to our news room).

A lot of people will actually suck on the shell first to get the full flavor before pulling it open for the peanuts. mmmmm.

You really need to come check out the Southern delicacies. *grin*

Boiled peanuts are the best. Especially when you buy them from the old guy in a little shack on the side of the road...

First things first: Good to see you, darlin! *grin*
And you're totally right about the guy selling them on the side of the road. We've gotten lazy. There is a peanut guy who brings them to us at the paper. Alas, I rarely have cash on me.
