I like them. Don’t often eat them because anywhere you get them they’re liable to be way too salty for my tastes and blood pressure

Peanuts are only good when they are turned into butter...and even then, they can be underwhelming.

I had a friend who always said how good boiled peanuts were. He left me a container of freshly made boiled goobers. Me never eating boiled goobers before was not sure how to proceed, did one eat them like pumpkin seed, shell and all or were you supposed to crack and enjoy the insides. Well I chose to eat whole. The shells were soft and salty after being boiled. Plenty of fiber! A few days later I seen my friend and was talking about his gift of boiled goobers. It was then that I learned that the shells were supposed to be cracked and discarded! I can honestly say that eating the shell and all was not bad with a bonus of unclogging the bowels.

Not really a fan of them, but that's just me. I work with a guy that eats David sunflower seeds whole, puts them in his mouth and chews them up.

I like them with some Cajun seasoning in the boil, but none of them taste like what most folks think a peanut tastes like. If you try your first one with that in mind, it goes better.

Had never had them before, this was probably 40 years ago. Went down to Terrell County, GA to hunt on a buddy’s lease. Kept seeing these “stands” along the road and finally asked, “what the hell is a boiled peanut?” Being a Georgia boy, he of course laughed, then stopped at a stand he liked. They were still warm, paper bag was soggy, I was not convinced until I tried them. Holee Schitt - damn near Nirvana!
Any time I’ve been in that area since, I’m always hitting a few of the stands along the way.

In Dixie you’re introduced to them by age 3,enjoying them with a large glass of sweet tea.By 17,the tea is replaced with cold beer and get togethers called “peanut boils”.They’re pretty popular in my neck of the woods…
