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. If they are slimy they either came out of can or had been cooked, cooled, reheated multiple times. Sounds like he had some gas station boiled peanuts that sat for a day. Yes. They can be hit and miss.. Chan’drerishia fills the crock pot in morning when her shift starts… they cook all day…

Used to be an old feller that sat on the stop light of the small town in work in…
Kinda rough looking. Overalls.. no shirt…flip flops… beat up ford truck…
No telling how long they had been setting..
Dont think he even put them on ice… just a cooler..
Boiled the peanuts with sliced jalepenos…
$5/ qt bag.
Woo weeee!
They were good…

I can up a dozen or so jars a year. I add 2 Chipotle peppers and 5 cloves of garlic to each quart. Yum! They are not a thing up here so when I bring them out for get together, its always interesting. Most don't like them. More for me😁

Really like me some boiled peanuts. Hot and fresh are best, but chilled will do. The supermarket canned ones are OK, but not near as good as fresh and hot.

They are like grits. If you have had them prepared properly you likely don't think they are much good.
If the only chili I ever ate was Hormel then I would think much of it.

Boiled peanuts are one of those foods that you either love or despise, properly prepared the are good but it takes a certain set of conditions that rarely show up this day and time. Let me preach on it. The nut must be freshly dug and washed of most of the dirt, it needs to be filled out and ready for drying but not allowed to sit in the sun and let the hull get hard or the nut inside to start rattling around . Most peanut stands selling in roadside sheds miss this point and sell a nut that got to dry before cooking .so go pull yourself a few hills that are ready for harvest or run behind the digger and pick a bucket full and wash the dirt off grab the turkey cooker and dump in the goober fill near to 5he top with water ,bring to a hard boil and then slow to a medium boil ,you want to see some movement in the water,not a simmer .get a 1 pound box of salt dump most of it in and let them cook for 45 min to an hour. Start diping some out after 45 min and sample them for doneness dip out and start eating while still warm,a big coke cola optional

Green peanuts
Boil for at least three hours + with a cup of salt.
After they reach desired taste/consistency, let them seep - overnight is best.
Drain and enjoy.

I ain't waiting 3 hours for them to cook , they will be mushy and soak up way to much salt

Tried them one time. Think it was at a truck stop in Tennessee. Don't remember how much but had heard of them and wanted to try them. Good stuff!
