    Interesting thread......never heard of boiled peanuts. I'd be afraid to try them as, though I love peanuts, they don't love me much anymore.

    Are grits supposed to taste like mushy cardboard? I'm honestly curious. I have only tried them 3 times over the years - and at chain restaurants at that, so perhaps the restaurants didn't do them justice?

    Fixed it for you, PeeWee.

    Pronunciation, like grammer matters.

    While I was stationed in Charleston SC I saw the stands everywhere, but I didnt stop. Mostly I figured if the person in the stand or in the lawn chair next to the boiling pot didnt have any teeth, then there might be a reason not to eat boiled peanuts.

    Yes they are soft, I would say they taste diffrent that dried or rosted.

    Pea nuts are a legume or type of bean they are not nuts.

    However - the stories I've heard from military folks about boiled bacon? NO, that one breaks the rules - that's just plain wrong.
    Bacon in soup is boiled....

    Boiled peanuts? Hell Yeah! I grew up in South Carolina, so we used to buy those at country stores or gas stations. Can't get those here in California.
