Something that I can't say I didn't like, but I can honestly say I don't think I'll ever eat them again.

Tastes yummy with the right seasoning...peanuts deserve to be roasted and crunchy rather than boiled and mushy...

Don't forget wilkes-bear-a, heard that one lots too. I usually say wilkes-bear, I think. I don't really think of it.

Granted, boiled peanuts have to be eaten fresh and hot.

I wasn't crazy about balled peanuts. Must be a regional taste, like the dialect.

I prefer my peanuts ground into buttuh. I don't do it as bad as my grandmother did but words with "oi" in them were changed to "ur" like toilet to turlet and oil to url.

Hey, I resemble that remark! Nobody from NJ gives a crap about New Ark, so I assume you're from the Delawhur area. Hit me up!

I know boiled peanuts are a Southern thing, but I can't imagine why you'd want to eat them that way. Hell, I'm not even clear if they're boiled with or without the shells. Put me in the "roasted and crunchy" peanuts camp.

I've been in the south a few times, but never crossed paths with a boiled peanut. I'd certainly try them if I had the opportunity!
