Damn, now I have a craving for some boiled peanuts. I blow mrs sea's mind every time we're on a road trip and pull over to get some boiled peanuts. I can pop one in my mouth, break the shell apart and pull out the peanut with no hands while driving. I don't think it's a special skill (I assume everyone does this) but it seems to fascinate her. It's hard to find a good cajun peanut. Most people just think if they throw in some jalapeños it's instant cajun. Jalapeño ain't cajun.
Roasted, they better already be shelled. i ain't got no time to waste busting open a hard shell. Don't even think of taking me to one of those restaurants with buckets of peanuts on the table and shells all over the floor.
You're a world traveller, but I'm guessing, you've never driven around the Southern United States? All along the roadways of Georgia, Florida, Mississippi you will find guys selling boiled peanuts out of their beat up pickup truck. Or they might have some kind of tent or old shack or stand.
You're right, I've never driven anywhere in the US south. Many fly-in-fly-out business trips to Houston. Is Houston considered to be 'south'? It is a wickedly humid, hot city and I hate it. I know the US west a little bit and I once had a good trip through your bailiwick.
I would like to try those boiled peanuts. It is such a peculiar concept to me that it is intriguing.

Boiled peanuts beat roasted 100% of the time.
Londonguy - cashews are not nuts. They are actually a seed.
Any idea how many strippers know what a standard deviation is?
