My curiosity often gets me into trouble.

Boil Peanuts Yummmm! I eat them by the ton.

John D.,

I have to believe the boiled peanuts you are so fond of are much different than those I have tried. Some Southerner probably came up here and set up a booth at the Minnesota State Fair as a practical joke, trying to see how many Northerners he could get to eat boiled cat droppings, by selling them as boiled peanuts. I can testify that he duped at least one of us! And what's worse is that I paid $3 for a measly cup full!

I will however, good sir, take you at your word. And trust that true boiled peanuts are good. Perhaps one day you can introduce me to them properly.

Onthepequod,
The beauty of the boiled peanut is the juice that runs down your chin, it's kinda like chewwing tabbaco juice

And that's pretty much what it tasted like.
