Absolutely love some boiled peanuts, I can eat my weight in'em.....
i like them
Being a military transplant it was 1987 before I was introduced to boiled peanuts
a fellow I served with took me to the outer banks in Nov 87 for some surf fishing on a weekend we had off
stopped and picked some up at the old small store at McCain after he picked me up in his old beater toyota mini pickup
Unfortunately he and his entire SF team were killed in a helicopter crash 18 months later

Sorry to hear about your friends but glad you at least acquired SOME southern culture. LOL
You mean like pickled shad? Yep, picKlee shad definitely a southern delicacy And cultured too.... ain’t that right @woodmoose?
Green peanuts for me was a right of passage coming to the hunting club for the first weekend of deer season down in Bertie county. Dad would always stop somewhere in edgecome, Martin or Bertie when they were turning peanuts and ask if we could pick up a trash bag or two vines and all. He would toss the guy a few bucks and I would get to pick and wash the peanuts when we got to the club and daddy would boil em up for The guys. Good memories and I still can eat a metric crap ton of them.
Nooooooooooo, I have no idea what third world country he ran across that culinary monstrosity at but I am pretty sure it was a long way from civilization. LOL

Should have just called it D’s nuts.
You guys that "poo poo" boiled peanuts DO realize peanuts are a PEA and not a NUT don't you? You fix peas by boiling them.
Back when I was in collage, I roomed with my cousin and 2 of his friends from Alamance Co. Now, mine and my cousins family hale from Columbus and Bladen Counties, and we all LOVE boiled peanuts...as well as dry roasted.
We'd buy those gallon cans of dry roasted peanuts, and the other 2 guys would devour them in no time flat. Seemed we were always grabbing for an empty can of peanuts.
Well, after an early fall family gathering in Bladen Co., my cousin and I came back with a batch of boiled peanuts. The other guys had never had them, and tentatively put one to his mouth. You should have seen the expression on his face as he withdrew it and shook his head, declaring it "nasty". My cousin and I just looked at each other, smiled and said, "More for us!"
I have a niece who will literally fight you for a batch of boiled peanuts.

Used 1/2 cup salt per gallon water
Boiled for 3 hours or such
Replenished evaporated water with un salted water

Must be the damn yankee in me, but I can’t wrap my head around the appeal of boiled peanuts.
Has to be.
That being said, unless you were born on the Mosquito Indian Reservation you can't get much farther north than were I was born and I love em.
I bought a large bag of green peanuts, probably over a 5 gallon bucket full, for a bit over 20 bucks last fall. Cooked me a batch earlier this week in my instapot. Salt, water and 42 minutes...perfect. They gone now! Got plenty more though.
You DO realize a peanut is actually a pea, and not a nut, don't you? So, how do you cook peas?
Yep, and for culinary purposes they are classified as a nut. How many other nuts do you prefer to boil rather than roast?

I've never seen it but, has anyone done an Old Bay style peanut? Low country boil type peanut?
I am hesitant on going the flavor route since I do large batches and would hate to mess up. I might try to pull a small batch off next time and flavor separately during the cool down since they do seem the soak up the brine during this part of the process.
I would probably do a more cayenne flavor myself.
Can't remember what I paid for em but they weren't cheap. Got refrigerated peanuts that I think came out of Georgia. They were green and take considerably less time to cook then the dry peanuts.
Turned out great and finished my last bag a month ago while catfishing on the Roanoke. Need to boil some...maybe this weekend if I can find the green ones from the farmers market.

Really...Instapot..salt got absorbed? Mouth watering and increasing blood pressure medications. lol
Yep. You just have to add enough salt. Sometimes if you don't dump in enough salt, you can let 'em sit a while after they cook and the salt will absorb in.

I like mine very salty. One's that I buy already boiled get a good soaking in salty water. And as most boiled peanut connoisseurs know, freshly dug green peanuts are the best. Making mouth water. Neighbor has several fields planted about 1/4 mile from house.

My paw paw was a peanut farmer in Ga. so we always had roasted or boiled peanuts around the house.
