We've been getting them in the cans instead of boiling our own. A standard small can is a hell of a way to start a FriYay afternoon. Fills your stomach up with something solid to put those cold beers on top of.

My plan this year is to boil peanuts enough times that I can put enough in the freezer to eat some every few days, and have them last until they come in the following year.

One of my absolute favorite things.

I haven't heard that song since I was a kid. Thanks for posting.

Also certifying it is definitely not a Yankee thing.

Having grown up in Dothan, Alabama I can’t even conceptualize someone with this opinion.

There is nothing more comforting than a good boiled peanut. Especially good and hot on a cool fall day.

A few of them while they’re still warm.Once they get cold they’re nasty.

Imagine the power a Cajun garlic boiled peanut could generate.

Old lady sold boiled peanuts outside the auction house in Tylertown MS back in the 70s/80s.

A sack of good boiled peanuts is heavenly

I use crab boil 75% of the time I boil a sack.
