Boiled Peanut recipe

[JayhawkSD]

5. Boiled peanuts is something the South got totally wrong.

Not the only thing, of course, slavery for instance, but...

The South does most things with food right, but boiling is absolutely the worst thing you can do to peanuts. It turns them into fodder. Worse than fodder - even a self-respecting pig would not eat boiled peanuts. Just my opinion, of course, but any other opinion is wrong.

When I lived in Atlanta a bunch of us were at lunch one day, and were talking about the Kudzu problem. Ways to eradicate it, examples of the destruction it causes, Kudzu havoc, etc. One guy was with us who had been transferred there from some northern city, St. Louis, I think, and finally injected, "Hell. I figured you guys would have figured a way to boil it and eat it by now."
