Anyone else like boiled peanuts?
May 21, 2015, 10:02 PM
|
|
Just had a can of Peanut patch, good and salty. I remember working for Jerry's Pizza in Central my Junior year and having someone call in and ask for them on their pie, and I obliged.

If someone doesn't like them it's because they didn't try them

My serious reply....

Never had boiled peanuts out of a can. Here's how you get the good ones.
First, you have to buy them from someone on the side of the road. And before you buy them, check out the guy selling them carefully, and the equipment he has. They should be in a large 55-gallon drum (not marked toxic waste). Preferably a large stainless steel or aluminium pot. He should fish them out with something homemade, like a Maxwell House coffee can with holes poked in the side affixed to an old axe handle.
And finally, check out the seller's hygiene. The greasier the hair, the better. The more teeth missing, the better. The dirtier and more holes in the clothes, the better.

And that was a serious answer. really.

Growing up as a kid and going to Clemson games, we used to stay with my grandparents in Anderson. Every Saturday morning going to the game we would stop by and get peanuts from the old guy on the side of the road at the intersection of Old Portman Rd. and Highway whatever...on the way to Clemson.
The guy usually wore overalls that looked like a mechanic had slept in them for a month. Sometimes he wore a shirt underneath, as it got colder. He had about a half-quart of 10w40 in his hair. He smiled and literally every other tooth was missing. He used a 55-gallon drum and had a wood/coal fire underneath. He had an old Maxwell House coffee can, rigged to an old axe handle for scooping. Holes had been poked in the coffee can to let the water drain.
To this day his boiled peanuts are the ones to beat. Nothing from a can can come close.

my mom used to make them after we moved from the south up to New Jersey. You literally can only find them in a handful of states. Being from Florida originally, I grew up on them.

And you like the canned ones?
May 23, 2015, 1:29 PM

Maybe peanuts are like collards, and there's one brand in a can that's good. Growing up collard greens were a hit and miss thing. It all depended, like the peanuts, on the cook. Glory collard greens in the can are decent and I will eat them, although they're not as good as the collards I was raised on, but I still get them because it saves a lot of time cooking them. Maybe I will try the canned peanuts once and see if it's palatable. It's much easier though to cook peanuts than collard greens, so there's hope I guess.

Peanut Patch is not real boiled peanuts
May 22, 2015, 7:32 AM
|

They sell them in a pouch in Death Valley and they are awful.
My Nana made the real thing in a pressure cooker. In fact, I think I've just decided to buy a pressure cooker.

The canned Peanut Patches are actually not bad in a pinch. Somehow Clemson manages to ruin everything the stadium canteen sales by removing flavor and adding diarrhea-inducing particulates.
I bought a pressure cooker just for them. I like just salt and water and don't like to fancy them up with cajun seasoning. It always baffles me that everytime I see a non-southerner eat one, they try to eat the hull. That's probably why they don't catch on up there.

Love 'em, but never had them out of a can.

The key is to get the ones that were boiled as green peanuts, instead of dried (those are the ones that are very dark/black). Green ones are the true manna from heaven.
Boiled peanuts are one of the main things that make life worth living.

Someone corrected me on this once so I thought I would pass it along. If it's tender enough to be eaten as a boiled peanut, then it WAS green when they boiled it.
In other words, I'm not sure if there's a scenario where you could boil an already salt-roasted peanut and have it come out resembling what we know as a boiled peanut.
I've never tried though.

not roasted - dried raw peanuts
May 22, 2015, 9:01 AM
|

peanut needs to be raw to boil. Green peanuts go bad (moldy) pretty quickly, so some folks dry them out so they keep better, THEN boil them at a later date. This makes the shell turn black when they are boiled. You get these alot of the time in the little paper bags at the bait shop/filling station. Better than nothing, but not the prime stuff.
If you boil FRESH green peanuts, the shell stays lighter color and the experience is MUCH better. Larger, better texture, and tastier.
I got 40 years or better as a boiled peanut connoisseur, plus having a peanut-growing granddaddy as a boy, I know my way around the world of goobers. I actually love raw peanuts fresh pulled out of the ground just as much as I do boiled. Just can't overdo those or you pay dearly.

Is that I like the small reds much better than the big VA peanuts.
I used to catch hell finding green peanuts in the piedmont, NC. People looked at me like I was crazy. The first time I boiled dried raw peanuts, it took over 8 hrs! Now I have a kid with a peanut allergy and don't look for them anymore.
One good thing about home was piggly wiggly where you could buy green peanuts by the lb and scoop them yourself when they were in season.

BOILED PEANUTS IN A CAN MAN ARE YOU FARKING KIDDING?
Step 1: Put milk in freezer
Step 2: Buy a truckload of raw or green (greenr's better) from the farmer's market
Step 3: Boil them sumbitches in water LIKE A MAN, on a propane outdoor stand alone burner in a bigassed pot. Like big enough to #### near bathe in. Don't have one? GO BUY ONE YOU POOR RUSSIAN!
Step 4: Drink Miller High Life from the bottle for 4 hours, get shartfaced
Step 5: Shut off heat, add a whole thing of salt (container about the size of an oil can)
Step 6: Let 'em sit for about 30 minutes, then remove them from the water
Step 7: Get laid by any woman within 10 square miles of you. They will be lining up to hump you.
