he's in Washington..... boiled peanuts must be a southern thing. Boil them just like you do crawfish, seasoning and all.... except it takes about 8 hours for them to get tender.
Understood, Scovie. I only started boiling them last year because my fiancee wanted some. I had never really tried them before that for the same reasons you say.... just seemed odd to me. A wet peanut shell was weird sounding. Then I ate one.... and another, and another and another.... I could make a meal out of them! lol. Same here PD... they all have boiled peanuts to sell.
