Boiled Peanuts

Yes, this is a southern phenom, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE boiled peanuts. The best are the ones you get in little bags at gas stations in the south. If you can't get that or make your own then it has to be Rodennberry's canned variety.

I'd give my left arm for some now!

We always stopped in Alabama, near Troy, to get boiled peanuts on the way to Florida when my grandmother lived there. They are yummmmmmy.

Every time I think of boiled peanuts I am reminded of the time when my inlaws came to Florida.

My mother was living in Florida at the time. She's in her 80s and there's not a thing wrong with her faculties; she is my role model. However, at this time, she was on a combination of medicines that did something temporarily to turn her into this stereotypical old lady with a cane. Reminds me of that woman on the advert "He's not your dad. We don't know who your dad is."

She wanted my inlaws to have the full Florida experience, and as we drove up to the airport in Orlando, for them to be put on a plane going back to the UK, she insisted on taking the route through the more "scenic" bits (the middle) and stopping and getting them some boiled peanuts, even though we were running late for the flight.

Let's just say that Marmite causes the same sort of reaction in people.
Married to Graham, we run our own open-source computer training company in beautiful Wiltshire out of our 1814 Georgian Regency home (a former lodging house and once featured in Antiques Roadshow)
