Boiled peanuts

[Sunshine]

:)

[Captain]

It is the official Snackfood of Goodhunting. Nothing better.

Is this a new revelation for you Sunny? Where have you been? You need to take off that tinfoil hat and get out more. :D

We ALWAYS have 'em on hand. If not fresh, we have 'em in the freezer and prolly about 10 cans of 'em for impromptu snacks.

During season around here, there's a roadside stand about every 500 feet!

[Thumper]

Oh, Ok. When you said they're "supposed" to be the caviar of the south, I took that to mean you weren't sure. Yep, it's a definite ... no question there. Nuttin' finer! ;)

[Thumper]

Heck, when Lynn and I take a little weekend trip, we'll throw a can or two in the car so when we kick back in the hotel room and settle in for the night, we just dump a can of 'em in a bowl, pop 'em in the 'ol microwave for a couple minutes and have at it. Who needs chips? ;)

[Thumper]

I'll tell you what. Write ol' Santa Jim a Christmas wish list reminder in a couple'a months and maybe he'll throw a can onto the ol' USPS sleigh for ya' around Christmastime. :D

Many years ago while I was talking to the Captain on the phone he asked me if I liked Bowl Peanuts, I said ya I will eat peanuts out of a bowl why do you ask. Pause, no you dumb Yankee, I said Bowl Peanuts, pause, I said take the shit out of our mouth and say it slow this time, so he said Bowl Peanuts, B. O. I. L. E. D. we still laugh at that and can't tell you how many times I've told that story.
Anyway the next time we're at his place we drove over to the little town of Chesterfield SC and on a street corner was a vendor selling boiled peanuts, fresh from the pot.
Captain bought a couple of bags and started to inhale them, I gave a hand full to my wife and I took a hand full.
I can still see the look on Kays face when she bit into them, it was like one of my little grand kids when you feed them something they don't like, they will spit it right out, Kay sat there wondering if she should spit them out or swallow it then throw up. My reaction was just the same.
It's the worst tasting crap you'll ever put in your mouth, it's a soft mush, can only imagine what shit would taste like.

[Thumper]

Now what would a Yankee know about good tasting food anydamnway? ;)

[Thumper]

And it ain't "bowl" peanuts ... It's "bowled" peanuts! Pronounced B-O-L-D! ;)

JB, was that the boiled peanut shack there by the hardware store owned by the serial killer? We got a bag of 'em there too and damned if they were gone by the time we got back to the farm.

I got like TWO of them.

And caviar sucks. So they can't be the caviar of the south.

Red eye gravy is the cavier of the south

[Captain]

OMG Sunny! Really. Redeye gravy? You've NEVER had Redeye gravy!
How have you lived without Boiled Peanuts and Redeye gravy.

Basically you fry up a piece of salt cured country ham in a cast iron frying pan, and when you are done and removed the ham and pour some coffee in the pan and make gravy!

You got about two BAGS of them.
And the serial killer that owned the hardware store whet to prison and got shanked and was murdered there.
The hardware store burnt to the ground this past summer.

I think the last time Lynn had redeye gravy ... she was sittin' right next to Cappy at the breakfast table. :D

I think I had eggs, bacon, grits and toast. Or did I have biscuits and gravy? Dang ... can't 'member.

Then there is some justice in this world. My favorite Carhart jacket is the one I bought from there when we stopped.

Damn, I'm stopping at the store for country ham on the way home.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Redeye gravy is some awesome stuff. Especially with ham and eggs and homemade biscuits.
