Hey-what are boiled peanuts like-good or gross? When we were in SC we saw boiled peanut stands everywhere.
I will say you guys are SOOO lucky to have Krispy Kreme stores down there...the donuts we had were fresh out of the oven and tasted like heaven!

Delicious.....you must try them next trip south. It may be an aquired taste but it doesn't take long to aquire it. There are several types and each one is unique. Boiled green, fresh early ( usually very tender and soft) Boiled green mature ( tender but solid) and boiled from dryed mature p-nuts (purple skins) usually a little snappy, but good. Theres a variety of flavors but regular salted sells the most. During the holiday season you see bags of shelled raw pnuts on the shelves for brittle and so forth, they are usually cheap. I boil these in heavy saltwater sometimes to get through til early summer. Several hours boiling and they are still fairly solid (like the dry matures) and they taste about the same (no shells to play with though). Try some out.
