What's the deal? Any good? You Yankees probably would just stuff em up your ass, but they're for eating. Preferably at a baseball game, accompanied by a cheap beer.

Tried them a couple of times, seemed kinda slimey to me. Must be an acquired taste, a regional thing.

Please tell me you are joking?!
Can't do the can stuff, gotta boil green ones yourself. I just fill up a fish/turkey cooker, it'll hold 1/4 bushel. Some salt and creole seasoning and let it boil away for several hours. They've double in price the last couple years. Used to get a bushel for 30 bucks, now its 60.
Freeze them in quart freezer bags, warm them up and enjoy as needed.

Down South you can't go two blocks without seeing a "boiled peanuts" sign and most people down there love them. I guess it's an acquired taste, one which I never acquired. I prefer mine honey roasted, not boiled and slimy.

Not really a thing in my neck of the woods but every time I head south I pick up some. We go to Cherokee NC a few times a year fishing. I eat a pile of them while I'm there. I'd just as soon sit on the bank and eat peanuts as I would fish.

I've had them in down in SE VA. People seem to really like them but they are not for me. I'll take Virginia Diner roasted peanuts every time

Friend of mine has access to a farm in Wakefield right down the road from the VA Diner. I make it a point to eat and get peanuts every time I'm down there.

Sounds like he had some gas station boiled peanuts that sat for a day.
