Soggy nuts?

>>10273824
I feel your pain. It's only a matter of time before corporate nuts take over.

I just drove into Shreveport, LA last night and couldn't wait to stop at a gas station for some of them cajun boiled peanus. I found them at the first stop across the state line and promptly went to town slurping those soft, salty nuts and nut juice. Still got some left over to snack on in my hotel room

I like the pride, time, and thoughtfulness that go into each man's setup

>>10273848
501 is the original slave road.

>>10273854
this is the final stage of boiled peanut stands

>>10273878
I used to live just 5 minutes from this guy's place. He's been there for as long as I can remember. That lot in West Ashley is probably worth a good deal of money by now - but the man is devoted to his boiled peanuts.

>>10273878
surprised there is a VT flag

>>10273813
the fuck are boiled peanuts?

>>10273948
They're peanuts that have boiled

>>10273954
Your explanation is incomplete.

How do you eat boiled peanuts? Do you take the shell off first like normal?

>>10273891
I am glad so many south carolinians are ITT

>Not eating your peanut with the exoskeleton

Oh boy nothing cools me down on a 100 degree summer day like some boiling water

>>10274044
it's good for fiber intake

Nothin better than a Rooster Booster and some boiled peanus to start my day

>>10274856
>that first rooster boost™ of the day

>>10274031
mongrel inbred southerners put the boiled soft peanut, shell and all in their mouth and suck out the juice before eating the peanut. it reminds them of sex with their dad at a young age.

>>10273813
this must be a southern thing cause we don't have this in Colorado

>>10274894
Obviously

>>10273851
boiled benis

>>10273813

I buy a cup when I go to the flea market. I prefer the "cajun" flavored ones.

They sell them at the liquor store but I don't trust them, or their pickled eggs or really any food they sell. Not sure how big of an alcoholic you need to be to find the liquor store prepared foods appealing but I've yet to reach that level

>>10273948
Regional delicacy, you boil a bunch of peanuts in salted water. They get all soft and delicious.

>>10274031
You pop open the tip of the shell with your thumb and forefinger, and then stick the opening in your mouth and suck out the juices. After that you ease the shell open along the peanuts ridges, and then eat the nuts inside either by sucking them out or pulling them out with your tongue if they're stuck.

Did I hallucinate it or weren't there some southerners who got busted for pissing in their boiling peanut water? Pretty sure it happened and they were white not black. I think I'll continue with roasted peanuts, thanks anyway.

I always imagined the texture of boiled peanuts to be something similar to boiled potatoes but was disappointed to hear it was more like lima beans. Is this true, southerbros?

My cousin used to think peanuts were dried testicles off some animal so i can try and make a story up about that if you like

>>10275492
i'd never heard of it till now, i've never been to the south nor will i ever go.

>>10276910
well aren't you a superior being?

>>10276913
no, not my cup of tea, i know i'm missing the regional culture but it's just not on my bucket list. nor does colorado need to be on yours.

>>10276910
Thank you.

Americans are weird

>>10276930
just don't move to Denver like all those other southerners, you can visit but please go home.

>>10273878
This man's cajun peanuts were amazing as a kid but I haven't had them in years.

I ought to bike over there and grab a bag, perfect distance from my apartment in JI for a weekend ride.

>>10276960
haven't been here in forever... May go visit soon

>>10276964
Timbo's, or Charleston in general?

>>10276976
Timbo's (or any peanut man) fellow Charleston Friend

>>10276841
well peanuts and lima beans are both legumes but i'd say boiled peanuts lack the starchiness of both potatoes and lima beans. i'd say texturally they are much more like steamed edamame (another 'gume to be fair).

>>10276841
Texture also depends on the variety of nut used. If valencias are used (pic related) they get relatively soft and bean-y, but your typical fat standard peanut stays somewhat solid no matter how long you boil them.

>>10274856
>eating in the bathroom

>>10275628
This seems...out of character. For Steven, not for Pearl.

>>10273852
you eat it with the shells?

>>10273838
>great great grandpappy had a decent life as a slave

fuck off

>>10277063
out with the old in with the new thats what i say

>>10275693
>Saves the thumbnail

I've seen these while traveling through S Carolina I believe, but never tried them. question: do you eat the entire thing, shell and all?

This is an Australia thing too, at least in Queensland

>>10273852
>Shreveport
Sorry to hear that.

>>10278324
No you peel off the shell and eat the peanut inside. When you boil it the peanut becomes soft. Pretty interesting textutre, same taste.

>>10277387

>>10273852
>>10277310

YOU EAT IT WITH THE SHELLS?

>>10276841
do you have a facial abuse edit of this picture?

>>10273813
Boiled peaches? What the fuck

>>10277387
What's your problem? I enjoyed my time as a slave

>>10278498
HUUUUUR DUUUUUR DO THEY BOIL THEIR TOMATOES TOO HUUUUUR

>>10273824
why havent you replaced him, why havent you taken it upon yourself to uphold his mantle?

I wish there were stands around here, I'll just have to settle for canned boiled peanuts which are surprisingly okay but not the same

Anything for people wanting to make their own boiled peanuts. I want to but I'm a brainlet

>>10278485
>>10277310
No, dumbass. You don't eat the shells

>>10278972
Get peanuts, some seasoning, water, pot, stove.

>>10278972
use google, they're not that hard to do.
