To me this is the proof in the pudding!

It indicates a distinctive difference that one group of people enjoys and another group finds repulsive. But with these types of things, if we share food culture, then many people can open doors and find that what they imagined as repulsive can actually be quite delicious. :)

It's nothing like peanut butter, actually! They're savory, salty, and delicious.

They're boiled in their shells to the point that both the shells and the peanut are soft and mushy. The shells are filled with brine, and they're served hot.

It's quite a lot like edamame, but I'd have to go with boiled peanuts if I had to choose.

If you're driving through southern Georgia, you can get them at almost any gas station popup or farmers market. It's a small cottage industry.

Speaking of savory, you need to try bacon fat soaked collard greens and fried ocra.
