I seriously doubt the folks running the farm or the farm stand make
Chinese style boiled peanuts. The guy told her they had roasted them in
the shell. They *could* have been raw peanuts. No way were they
typical South Carolina boiled green peanuts.

What do you think of boiled peanuts? The more I read, the less I
think I might like them.

For what it's worth, I think they are really nasty. I tried them once. They
came in a pack of brine and were unshelled. I was told that you eat the
shells and all. After a bite or two, I wrote them off forever. ;-o

I love peanuts but that was just *wrong*, imo.
You should give them a try once though and decide for yourself.

I've never eaten the shells, although I suppose you could do so with the
small ones. They're boiled in that brine for hours.

I buy a lot of Margaret Holmes products, their canned goods are
superb, so one day I tried the boiled peanuts, YUK, even the critters
wouldn't touch them.

There is canned pumpkin in our stores year round. I use a lot of it, but
have never donated canned pumpkin to food banks. I haven't seen boiled
peanuts, but then I haven't looked for them either.

There has been a known canned pumpkin shortage for years. Exception being
the organic. And for some reason, it is an item that our food bank wants.

I had to mail order the boiled peanuts.

No luck there...it was an old girlfriend. She wasn't joking though - she sat
there and ate them, shells and all. I did a quick google search this morning
though and did run across this:

While some people enjoy eating the peanut shells, a representative of the
Peanut Institute stated, "There is no nutritional value in peanut shells,
and we do not recommend eating them."

He said "No, you asked for 'Short' cigarettes", which was total BS as
I told him, "I do this twice a week, and you give me the correct
cigarettes every other time. The word "shorts" is not even in my
vocabulary." He still insisted those are what I asked for. Rather
than providing the simplest customer service he chose to argue with me
and insist I said something that I didn't. He refused to exchange the
cigarettes for the ones I originally asked for.

This is the same Shell station where a woman accused the store clerk
(Amirali Noorji Maknojia, age 44) of sexually assaulting her in the
bathroom back on March 4th, 2008 (story available in
http://Statesmen.com archives, author Tony Plohetski). While I didn't
exactly get raped in the sexual sense, I'm still amazed at the
treatment. It's clear that their pig-headed customer service still
has a quite a ways to go if hey can't even provide the most basic
customer service for regular customers.

They are popular here and I grew up with those. I can get them from markets and the fishing supply store down the street. They are peanuts boiled in salt, shoyu, and maybe a little sugar. The young folks might not care for them. My wife really likes them, they're so-so with me.

No shoyu (aka soy sauce) is added to the brine in boiled green peanuts
in SC. Sometimes peppers/red pepper seeds, yes. This isn't Hawaii.

I figured that your boiled peanuts was different than the ones we had
here. They're served refrigerated which might make them even less
appetizing to folks on the mainland. I don't much care for them. You
have to work to get the peanuts and then you have a lot of debris left
over.

Probably something birds won't eat, then I have no desire.
I like in-shell roasted peanuts (circus style), salted or unsalted but
I buy unsalted because I feed them to the birds. I tried boiled
peanuts once, they are disgusting tasting and look like giant
maggots... I'll never try them again no matter how seasoned. I'm not
a big fan of cocktail peanuts (canned or dry roasted), I do like the
Spanish peanuts of my childhood that were dispensed by the handful for
a penny from a vending machine but I can no longer find those, the
Spanish peanuts I find nowadays are not the same, not even close. I'm
not a big fan of peanut butter either... I much prefer in-shell
roasted peanuts. I also like beer nuts but buy them rarely. I used
to like teh peanuts in Cracker Jacks but Cracker Jacks are only a mere
shadow of their former self, I'd no longer buy them. I think most
peanut butters are a scam, less than half is peanuts, and the natual
peanut butters are just mutilated peanuts, hardly worth eating unless
in a chocolate confection. For me only in-shell roasted peanuts are
peanuts.

Yes, I like edamame... in fact, you might be interested in this
recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks delicious. I sent it to
my DIL who was going to make it the following day for the kids, but
life got in the way. Maybe you can give it a shot and tell me what

The recipe looks interesting. Frozen soybeans without the pods are
relatively new on this island. They've always been sold in the pods
loose in bins in markets. The main problem is that you're going to eat
too many if they're already out of the pod. I can only eat the beans in
one or two pods before I give up - too much work.

I used to eat that when I was a kid. The young folk like boiled soy beans more than boiled peanuts. I prefer peanuts but can take or leave either of those boiled foods. I would definitely take a Peanut Butter Gaucho any day of the week - as long as they're not boiled.

Of course not... even the dwarf should be able to see the shells...
boiled peanuts are not in-shell.

I buy in-shell roasted unsalted peanuts to feed the birds;
http://www.hamptonfarms.com/
BJ's sells five pound bags for $5.99... I buy six bags each trip as I
don't go there but 3-4 times a year. Each morning I put out a two cup
scoopful of peanuts with the mixed seed and cracked corn. Occasionally
I eat some peanuts too, they are very good.

Uh... yes, they are. They're boiled for hours in the shell in heavily
salted water. They're sold in bags (or canned) packaged in the brine.
