Great for really smelly methane production! Used to ban our boy scouts from having them on any outing longer than overnight!! Two days inside of a teenage scout Equal very widely spaced tents!!!

In Hawaii we used to boil raw peanuts in the shell, but only for an hour. Then cool and grind!

hotreds · 11-17-2011, 10:00 PM

Nope- never did like them. Mushy peanuts-- not for me!

thebayratt · 11-17-2011, 10:02 PM

MMMmmm!!!

Got a recipe/how-to on them. I've always wanted to try to make some.

I tried them once in North Carolina, when I visited my family, and they just felt like chewing on buggers.

No thanks.

Ate them once in Maggie Vallie, NC, disgusting. Of course, I've had some very good friends from the south say the same about deep fried cheese curds.

You have to be careful not to overcook them or they will turn out really mushy. As for a recipe......
Green Peanuts
A bunch of salt... maybe a cup a cup per gallon of water
1/2 cup sugar per gallon of water
SLOW boil. Too hot and the shells get soft.
They are done when the peanuts inside are done to your liking.

Fried cheese curds are freaking amazing. We just got a Culvers here in SA and theirs are badass.

I love boiled peanuts, i used to eat them all the time at my brothers baseball games. the guy across the street from the fields

used a huge 50 gallon kettle to boil them all day. the best was when you got the last few batches from the bottom of the kettle that had been gathering all the flavor.

Dang, now I want some.

kelmac07 · 11-18-2011, 06:23 AM

Had these at Epic III and Epic IV...not for me...I expect my peanuts to be hard and crunchy. Couldn't get past the mushy part.

Did you get them from an old man on the side of the road (near Ghost Town)? That guy makes the best boiled peanuts EVER! Although I'm not sure he's even around anymore.

hammondc · 11-18-2011, 08:34 AM

Oh yeah.....peanuts for breakfast.

spectrrr · 11-18-2011, 09:45 AM

Had these for the first time at EPIC IV.... couldn't stop eating them! I looked like a ravenous crack addict shoveling them down!
