Boiled Peanuts

[ROCbass]

I decided to try to make some pumpkin spice boiled peanuts this weekend. Boiled them in salt water with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a little sugar. Turned out pretty good.

I googled it and I think I'm eating some right now actually I eat them like every day. I'm probably wrong but from the brief discription and picture i seem it just looked like peanuts in the shell

Boiled in some salt water. Well that's what I'm eating right now at work is a bag of salted peanuts in the shell???? If that's what they are then yeah I've had em I eat a bag or two evey day.

 

You're probably eating peanuts that have been soaked in a salt brine and then roasted.  They crunch when you bite into them.  Boiled peanuts have the consistency of a hocked up loogie.

Spot on.

The Cajun style sold at The Peanut Depot down in Bham are actually VERY good.

Boiled peanuts are one of those things were you have to eat more than one and they start to become addictive and you can't stop. My dad who loves peanuts used to make them all the time. I would always have one and be like "it's not bad nor is it great" until one day I was hungry, saw them on the table, ate a load and now I crave them once in a while.

Tried "em twice. In neither case did any of those disgusting things ever make it to my stomach.

 

Must be an aquired taste.

I am not a fan of the boiled peanuts.  My wife introduced me to them a few years ago and it is one of the few things I will not eat.  I don't get it either.  She will not eat soggy bread, biscuits dipped in gravy, hot beef sandwiches, pancakes with syrup on them, but she will eat some nasty soggy friggin peanuts.  Just crazy.

Wegman's has them.

They sell the same flavor down here in Ga. I forget the name, but they're so good! Just don't wipe your eyes afterwards.

Also being from WNY, I had never heard of them or tried them. Until one fateful day while randomly driving through the sticks in north Florida back in the mid 90's. I was starving, and saw an old dude selling them in brown paper bags along the road side out of the back of a van for $1 a bag..............why not??? Twas a most unwise decision on my part, to say they didn't agree with my fine northern sense of taste is an under statement. Had I know I was a mere 1.5 miles away from a waffle house, in which I destroyed the bathroom, the whole fiasco could have been avoided.

I can't get past the looks of them. My first boiled peanut experience I opened it up and it looked like two giant engorged wood ticks in the pod.

they definitely have to be cajun. slims fish camp in belle glade has the best boiled peanuts on the planet. i first tried plain boiled peanuts about 5 years ago, and like ghoti said they never made it to my stomach. cajun is the way to go.
