Peanuts

[TheMercenary]

Lots of peanuts are grown locally around here. For years people, mostly men, would bring a sample of their "Hot boiled peanuts" to various work sites for people to sample. It is like a competition among the old guys to see who has the best hot boiled peanuts. We had never heard of such a thing until we moved from the North to the South. During the time of maturity you will see stands along the road selling Hot Boiled Peanuts. Some are very tastey, some are like mush, some are under cooked and difficult to eat. The best ones are infused with a hot sauce during cooking that makes them spicey. Tales from the South.
