Genuine Boiled Georga Peanuts
« on: March 24, 2004, 04:30:24 pm »
Just got back a little while ago from Georga.  Even though it's only a couple a states over I've never been there.  Was told before I left to watch out for roadside stands selling boiled peanuts, and was told not only to try them but bring some back for a friend of mine.  I'd tried boiled peanuts before and didn't like them.  I didn't know what I was missing.  Them Georga folks sure do know how to boil peanuts.  GOOD EATING!!!!!!!!!!  *Oh, they serve good grits too" 8) 8) 8) 8)

We hauled off and went to Newnan Georgia.  I found a pathfinder over there in the auto trader to replace the one my son wrecked.  I got a 95, four wheel drive with all the buttons, INCLUDING new 32 inch tires and rims and an added 6 disk cd changer for about half what it would have cost me around here.  AND, it weren't rusty or rusted out like all them used cars them YANKEES ;D send down here to get rid of and is sitting on all the used car lots around here!!!!!! :) :) :)


I never thought I liked boiled peanuts until today!!!!!!  DanG things will make you hurt yourself!!!!   8) 8) 8)

Did you have time to run into the Wood MIzer distributorship and say "hey" to Nathan?   Wood Mizer's got that place in Newnan, you know.   I've been there.but it was a long time ago.  Pretty cool place to visit.  Sometimes they have a room full of mills.

Funny this post coming up now. I just ordered 10 pounds of boiled peanuts today. I was looking for green peanuts but of course you can't get them until the later part of summer, Duh.

If there's anything worse than grits it's probably boiled peanuts.  Stopped at a roadside stand coming back from F-lord-a with the wrecker and wanted to try them boiled peanuts. I really love peanuts so figured I'd like them too. The guy only gave me one and I was thinking " boy this guy is really cheap" glad he did though, couldn't have hacked more than one.  I'd really like to find some redskin peanuts. They used to roast them fresh in the 5&10, but can't even find them anymore.  All you see now a spanish or cocktail nut. Them big redskins had a lot better taste.

Shopteacher,

You should try your local Farmers Mutual Exchange; at least that is what it was called when I was growing up in Georgia, up here in Maryland it's called Southern States.  The sell the same stuff though; farm supplies and feed & seed.

You can pick-up a five pound bag of raw p-nuts.  Being the Georgia Boy that I am I like mine boiled.  But they're good toasted, kind reminds me of going to the old Fulton County staidum to watch the Braves play back in the 70's and 80's before they stated winning and you could get tickets.

Where bouts you located Ga_boy? I spent 4 years 20 mile N of Baltimore at the end of the sixties.  Don't know if there are any of them places around here. All I can think of is Tractor Supply and Agway.

I'm in Southern Maryland.  To be specific, Charles County, Port Tobacco is the town.  It's 'bout 30 miles south of DC if'n DanG's crow is push'n that flat tire.  

This is the place where the tobacco was sent back to England back when we were just a colony.  Cept the only thing left in Port Tobacco is the old courthouse and one room schoolhouse.  Were you a techer there? :D :D  

The p-nuts from Southern States comes in a nice litte burlap bag that the wife loves to use for decorations in the kitchen.

If ya can't find any let me know and I will pick ya up a bag and send it snail mail.

Once upon a time I spent a little time in Alabama. They called boiled peanuts "Goober peas." Some were good, others weren't. It depended on where you got them.

The quality of a boiled peanut is like anything else...it's all in how it is handled, assumin' ya got good goobers to start with. Green peanuts is the best, but only available for a month or six weeks in the early fall. I got this buddy that runs a little store down in Crawfordville, Fla, and he's famous for having GOOD boiled peanuts, year 'round. He uses the dried ones in the off-season, but soaks them in cold water, overnight. Most folks freeze the green ones, for later use, but they turn out dark and mushy.

Ga_Boy, that's a co-inky-dink!  My wife called last night from a motel, 30 miles south of DC. She was on her way to New York to visit her sister. They was riding I-95, so I guess they was on the Virginia side. :)

Ooooh! I love boiled peanuts!

I've only had them a couple times, but I look forward to getting them when I head south to visit my brother in Georgia.

These here were so good that I didn't even mind paying the guys price that sold em to me!!!!!!   I just let him con me along, I was having too much fun not too.  I had seen the sign and turned around to stop.  There was a BIG sign that said BOILED PEANUTS in front of a little run down stand.  The guy had started grinning, probably even when I slammed on the brakes to turn around.  I walked up to him as serious as could be and asked, "You don't know where a feller might find somebody selling boiled peanuts do you?"  In a loud voice he said, "Well, you know I used to sell em, but the last time somebody stopped and asked about em they took one bite and fell over DEAD!"   Right then and there I decided I liked this guy.  He ran inside and came out with a cup of boiled peanuts and said, "Now yall try these".  In the meantime he was telling how he got his recipe from some guy who had won an international competition with his boiled peanut recipe!!!  I mentioned that I wanted to buy a sack full to go.  He started scratching his head and saying it looked like I wanted to spend a lot of money.  I figgure he was waiting for my reaction before he decided how much to charge.  I was feeling good and just decided to play along, within reason.  I told him I believed he was probably cooking the best boiled peanuts IN THE WORLD.  Now truthfully, these really were good.  After he finished his calculating and talking and scratching his head, I just went ahead and paid his price.  The entertainment was worth the price of admission!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8)



Oh yeah, anybody else wanna go to Georgia to buy boiled peanuts, be sure and price em before you tell em to load you up a sack full!!!!!! 8) 8) 8)

Hey Mark,
I'll bet you do have those peanut trees there.  I hear they grow upside down, with their roots in the air and the peanuts underground.  I think the root looks just like a cottonwood.  ;D :D
