Being raised on them and sometimes sustained by them, it's strange to me that a lot of folks say that being able to eat boiled peanuts is "an acquired taste" for lots of folks. Like raw oysters or something.
You can get BP's at all kinds of road stops in the South. Sometimes in little brown paper bags on the counter at the checkout, sometimes dipped out of the pot still hot from cooking on a propane burner in the NC mountains.
I've tried em all and strangely enough it's hard to beat the Peanut Patch brand in the can. I'll bet you can't get those where you are, wherever you are unless you're around here.
You throw those in the micro for about a minute and a half in a plastic bowl, and pig out.
So the last time I went to the big store, I scoffed up a couple of cans of them. I kinda noticed that the label was red instead of green. No big deal, my eyes ain't what they used to be.
Well, those red ones are different. CAJUN. Never even saw those on the shelf before but I brought them home. Tore the lid off of a can tonight and noticed that the juice was not the right color at all. It's red. Hmmm.
Cajun.
Nasty. Real bad. Had to eat a frozen Klondike bar on top of beer to get the taste out of my mouth. Big, bad surprise at Weeville.
Okay, back to the news. Don't get the Cajun ones.
But boiled peanuts - is it really an acquired taste?
