I stopped at a Stuckey's in Texas while on vacation this past spring and they had cans of boiled peanuts. Being from California, I had never heard or seen such a thing, so, naturally had to try them. They were, um, interesting. Well, they were less fattening--I'll give them that. They weren't that bad, really. Bet they are probably better not coming out of a can, though.

I've never had the canned variety, nor the stuff that's been sitting around in that gas station food area for the past 3 months. You get raw peanuts in the shell, boil them in heavily salted water for quite a while. (Until they're done, could take a couple of hours.) The peanuts should be al dente, if I peanuts can be al dente... I'd take 'em over dry roasted anytime.

Fresh boiled Peanuts (in the husks here in GA) are way better than the canned jobs. And they are nicely salty but still blech to me. Hey, Keane when you come thru on December for the Varsity Meet (see how positive I am!) I will bring you some. Lisa

If you're going to enjoy the true boiled peanut tradition, you can't buy them in a can at Stuckey's! You have to get them directly from an official Boiled Peanut Store. They are not too hard to find, but they are generally not on the interstate highways. These are usually on back roads, and will be noted, about a mile beforehand with a poster board sign tacked to a tree that will state, "Boled P-Nuts 1 Mile a-head." The official Boiled Peanut Stores are usually an old shack, a portable building, an old 5th wheel, or just a tent, right on the side of the road. There is usually plenty of parking, but be careful of your shoes if it's muddy, or if it's too close to the goats and pigs. If the clerk is not manning the operation, you simply need to look for the nearest mobile home and give a loud holler. Be prepared to wait awhile, because the Boiled Peanut Union has strict guidelines for its employees who must weigh at least 350lbs (although this rule can be bent slightly as long as the clerk has fewer than 10 teeth). It can take a little while to get all that weight moving. Of course the payoff is great because you'll get freshly boiled, still hot and dripping wet boiled peanuts. :-) -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation? Who knows!
