Boiled Peanuts......are very strange looking, slimey and the thought of them made me want to shudder at first, but they actually taste pretty good -- like a salty garbanzo.
These are a Southern thing, according to my coworker (who ordered them from www.boiledpeanuts.com). They look kind of primordial, and let's face it, gross. When I heard 'boiled peanuts', I assumed they were shelled peanuts boiled for a time, but no no no. They are boiled in the shell. Hence primordiality. And slimey. And gross.
But as I said above...they taste pretty good.
Who on Earth ever thought to prepare them this way in the first place, though?
