The only good grit is a cheesy grit. I will sometimes eat roasted peanuts, shells on. If they are TOO stringy, what I'll do is chew them and 'strain' them in my mouth long enough to leave only a wad of the strings that comprise the shell and spit that into a cup like its dip. Highly recommend. And now I want some :/

Isometric Bacon posted:Sometime in 1970's Australia, some bloke got it in his mind (probably after visiting America) that building a huge gently caress off thing that represents his town would bring in tourists, or what amounted to tourism in those days. (Which meant a stop off for a piss, a pie and a sausage roll at the local bakery). Legend has it the big prawn that straddles some roadhouse in South Australia was supposed to be a ~20 ft thing to put on the roof, but there was some confusion around ft vs meters and they ended up with a statue bigger than the building. E: or some crustacean, lobster/crayfish/shrimp/croissant/prawn whatever.

They are delicious, but a pain in the rear end to prepare. I assume Gilroy has a bunch of garlic monuments, but I rarely go there except for passing through on the way to Santa Cruz, Monterrey, or Carmel.

I'm sorry but this is very confusing. So you take peanuts - a crunchy food. Then boil it, in water. And that somehow makes it crunchier and tastier??

Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:I'm sorry but this is very confusing. I know this might sound crazy, but when peanuts come out of the ground, they aren't roasted, crunchy and salty. So instead of doing that, you boil them in heavily flavored water/stock of whatever kind and then season them further. So when you get 'em, they look like this.  Peanuts, just with softer, wet shells instead.

This thread is super interesting. I drive up and down the east coast a lot so I've seen a ton of South of the Border billboards in my time but could never bring myself to go. Sort of bummed out I won't be able to for awhile yet during the pandemic. There's something very sad and weird about these pictures. Really feels like America has never been a fully realised concept. Also boiled peanuts suck rear end, HTH

A few years ago the Mosquito Festival ran out of beer and there were nearly flat out riots as a result. There are a lot of reasons I moved away from that part of the state... Seconding boiled peanuts as wonderful gooey treats, but who leaves the slimy, gritty shell on? It should slide off without incident and leave the delicious nuts for eating.

steinrokkan posted:Are you supposed to eat the peanuts after drinking the soda? either way, it seems gross Yea, the soda sorta soaks into them and sweetens them a bit? The most noticeable affect is that it adds a salty/savory note to the coke which really makes the flavor of the coca-cola stand out in a good way, especially if it's particularly cold. The peanuts are just sorta left overs to slop down after. Chances are you'll get a few as you drink but...whatever you get the idea.

If you want to find the German roaches in a gas station, the boiled peanuts dispenser is usually a good place to start. That combination of heat and moisture brings the bugs.

Peanut butter whiskey and coke is incredibly good and I only say incredibly because I have constantly been told im underselling it. Peanut butter whiskey with a raspberry or blue berry cider is a PB and J flavored beverage.

They are soggy. For "texture people," yes. My wife loathes so many foods just on arbitrarily not liking their texture, and I have no idea how anyone like her could eat a boiled peanut. But for those of us who can eat crisp or chewy or squishy foods and it is basically all the same as long as the flavor is appropriate to the texture: yeah, they rule.

I know chinese food chat was awhile ago but having moved from a pop.1200 town to Portland the difference in quality and variety of food is astonishing, I've had the best time going to asian markets for a better variety, quality, and price of food/produce/etc Small town america sucks poo poo if you dont want to eat potatoes and beef for 90% of your meals
