I went shopping today and bought some. They were gross. They come in a can. They are wet in some kind of liquid and have the shell on them. You are supposed to heat them up. They taste like hot raw potatoes. GROSS. :mad:

LMAO. I tried boied peanuts forthe first time about 8 or 9 years ago. I was on a roadtrip with some friends to New Orleans and we stopped at a gas station advertising them. One of the girls came back with some and told me I had to try them. She told me to tear open the shell, drink the "juice" and eat the nut. It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever had in my mouth. Definately a southern thing, I had never even heard of them before I moved down hear. Those and sweet tea, lol. The peanuts are something I would definately discourage.

I don't understand them. It's the closest thing to garbage that I've ever purchased.

I have allergies. Not severe ones, but a sleepy painful feeling that pervades for about 1-3 days.

At least its not Haggis.

Boiled peanuts sound disgusting but haggis is delicious especially when drowned in a good Scotch whisky and served with naps & tatties. :tongue:

I fixed that for you London (haha)...btw, what are haggis, naps and tatties?

Being a Londoner I'll probably get it all wrong and the Scottish will come down on me like a ton of bricks...like they need an excuse. :biggrin1:

Please anyone help me out but neeps are turnips or swede & tatties are potatoes. The actual ingredients of haggis is probably best not listed (believe there's blood & sheeps inners involved!) but delicious nevertheless.

Well I do de-clay-ay-ah! I believe yo' is sho nuff s'posed ta ball them on yo' ow-en suga' chops and not be-a puchasin' them thar goodies in a tin can. (please don't criticize my southern drawl-it's the best I can do with this keyboard).

I saw something about this a few weeks back with that lunatic Alton Brown on The Food Network on his Good Eats program. He was relaxing in the yard while a large kettle over an open fire cooked the things. It might have worked were it not for the scary part-they are cooked in the shell and apparently popped in the mouth that way:eek:. Me, I'd rather eat corn fed weasel (and judging from what some restaurants serve, I think I have).

Ok, I've lived in the South off and on all my life, and somehow these have escaped me.

Of course, I also dislike sweat tea and grits...

I can't say I'm crazy about sweet tea but I do like grits. I have no idea why people get so upset about grits - until you put stuff in grits it is really rather bland. Pleasant, but bland - so it simply doesn't fit the bill for the 'acquired taste' that some people make it out to be. Shrimp and grits, however is just fucking wonderful - especially from here. :yup:

I agree, grits are best served with condiments such as butter and salt, in which case, you may enjoy a big bowl of buttery-salty goo.

No thanks! :tongue:
