Never seen/ate 'em in TN, when I lived there in the late 60s. Made
'em myself in a mini-slo cooker, yrs later. Quite tasty, as I recall,
but not tasty enough to do twice.

Maybe, if I could buy them on the side of the road.

I made them myself once when I lived in Memphis... not sure why. I
didn't use a slow cooker, just heavily salted water and slow simmered on
the stove top. They were tasty but the peanuts weren't the same as what
I find in SC.

I don't know what you mean by "plagued". I'm about to heat them up and
have some as a snack. I'm looking forward to the taste after many years.

What with all these peanut "allergies", I gotta wonder.

From my point of view, "plagued"=allergy. I'v been eating them since I
was a wee tyke, like when my grandparents put out a bowl of 'em whenever
my father went over to visit, to keep me and my brother from wanting
candy.

I LOVE peanuts!
