Luckily, I've returned to Asia and haven't had to drive miles to get a fix of my boiled peanut cravings. But in a pinch, I'll have to remember your recipe and consider adding some of those spices you mentioned for a certain je ne sais quoi! :) glad to see you back on your blogWatergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108188644976124124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-73430286988775510392007-08-19T02:48:00.000+10:002007-08-19T02:48:00.000+10:00I just want to say, great blog!Boiled peanuts are ...I just want to say, great blog!<BR/><BR/>Boiled peanuts are one of my favorite snacks!My mom used to make that in the summer!caninecolognehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921983679558271352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1672580598452300152007-08-15T17:00:00.000+10:002007-08-15T17:00:00.000+10:00hi michelle, yes, i agree! i spent a bunch of summ...hi michelle, yes, i agree! i spent a bunch of summers travelling the backroads of georgia, and stopping at anything worth stopping at. which was really *everything* but peanut stands are a must.<BR/><BR/>e to the m, can you even find boiled peanuts in new england? how difficult is it to find fresh/raw in the shell peanuts there?<BR/><BR/>purplegirl, yes, georgia's got it going on!<BR/><BR/>r4kk4, okay now i need to know the horrid recipe!<BR/><BR/>dx--me too:)<BR/><BR/>cathy, i have to say i sometimes put only a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of salt, but almost everyone tells me i'm not putting in enough. and kosher salt always tastes less salty to me anyway. how much salt was called for in his recipe?<BR/><BR/>acornbud, that was honolulu stadium, right? i barely remember the place. wasn't there some drive-in called chunky's around there? is it still around?<BR/><BR/>christine, ha, i heard the same thing! someone told me they use river water.

I got a chance to sample them for the first time then and have to say I wasn't completely won over. I think the main problem was that they were way too salty - your recipe looks to have a much more reasonable amount of salt. Maybe next time I'll point him in the direction of your blog!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-29900429655405153962007-08-15T11:59:00.000+10:002007-08-15T11:59:00.000+10:00hmm...I love peanuts...hehehmm...I love peanuts...hehekamarulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782406605602841033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-67772814048459159402007-08-15T01:36:00.000+10:002007-08-15T01:36:00.000+10:00my exbf from florida used to make boilied peanuts ...my exbf from florida used to make boilied peanuts all the time in the summer. his recipe was horrid but i think i would like them if i used your optional list!r4kk4https://www.blogger.com/profile/12860378522172305917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-73738630502528824722007-08-15T01:31:00.000+10:002007-08-15T01:31:00.000+10:00i live in good 'ol southern USA and down here, hot...i live in good 'ol southern USA and down here, hot boiled peanuts on the side of the road (even suburban roads) is not an oddity, but rather, an everyday thing. that and freshly-made apple cider. awesome combination.purplegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577882395786818870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-22690605713524180642007-08-14T23:19:00.000+10:002007-08-14T23:19:00.000+10:00Growing up in the South I loved boiled peanuts!
