Who Doesn't Like Boiled Peanuts?! | Backyard Garden Planting

[@thinginthewoods1414]

I live in Northern Canada. I'm 49 yrs old. I never heard of boiled peanuts until I drove to Florida in 2012. We stopped and bought some from an old guy on the side of the road. I can't believe I had been eating peanuts wrong my entire life. Not easy to get raw peanuts here, but when I do, I try to make up for 39 lost years.

[@riversideacres8853]

Never had boiled peanuts

[@harrybutler4077]

Boiled peanuts must be a Southern thing…. Love em!

[@kehlarr5525]

I'm a northerner who never had boiled peanuts until I moved South at the age of 30ish. I wasn't sure what to expect but I LOVED them. Now that I'm back to the north, I sure do miss them!

[@gloriaenciso2917]

I grew up eating boiled peanuts, but never lived in the south. Grew up in San Diego, where my Filipino mother and Aunts would boil a pot for most get togethers in the summer. Especially if we were celebrating outside. Lawn chairs, boiled peanuts and watermelon means summer is here.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yes! All those things are synonymous with summer around here too!

[@advillwertz6585]

That's the reason people love Asian food so much. They know how to grow it how to cook it .

[@cory3407]

Love boiled peanuts (as do my kids). Been buying and boiling Baldwin County peanuts for decades.

[@dpentola]

Count me in on the "I've never tried boiled peanuts" group. I would love to try them someday though.

[@betwhatyougot]

Boiled Peanuts one of the great foods of the south

[@jefferybarron929]

Yes!!! Love boiled peanuts... Love em pulled straight out of the ground an eat em green too 😋

[@sandyacrefarms4356]

I love boiled peanuts, but never heard of them until I married my husband and moved back to Florida with him. I am originally from Michigan and never even heard of them until I met my husband, now the whole fam loves them!

[@robertantolik2146]

I freaking love boiled peanuts! I'm a Yankee by birth but a southerner by choice. I've been living in the Florida panhandle a little over 20years. When I first moved here dry roasted peanuts and peanut butter had been my only experience with peanuts. Boiled peanuts sounded disgusting to me. But I've been hooked since the first time I tried them. And have also since grown them. Most Yankees have never had them and have no idea what they're missing out on. It's a bit of a southern secret to the rest of the country

[@stefmcclure9386]

Me too lol. Tried my first boiled peanut in SC when I visited at the age of 16. Fell in love with the State and the boiled peanuts and finally moved here 30 yes ago. Southerner by choice and loving it!

[@ericmercia1777]

I'm originally from upstate NY. Never heard of boiled peanuts growing up. Visited Savannah for vacation a few years back before I moved here and that was the first time I tried them. It was at Davis Produce out on Wilmington Island. I'll never forget the lady told me when I tried them that they're more like a salty bean or legume that a traditional roasted peanut. I loved them but I'll never forget that description.

[@clinthutcheson2640]

I boiled some at a festival in Ohio once. An older gentleman got a bag and came back a few minutes later. He said he liked the taste but that they were to woody for him. I asked him to explain what he meant by woody. At that point he popped a peanut in his mouth and chewed it up, shell and all. I blew his mind when I showed him how to hull them 🤣🤣🤣

[@davesrvchannel4717]

If he ever got one with a worm in it, he’d open every one from then on

[@Ms.Byrd68]

Originally from The _South_ Bronx with PEEPS in South 'CLICK' and 'Boiled Peanuts' were a _traveler's staple!_ LOVE them!!!!

[@jamesdooley1624]

My dad owned a county store boiled 4 to 5 bushel every week and sold them in a 1 pound paper sack. Love me some boiled peanuts 🥜

[@josiesmith1506]

I never heard of boiled peanuts until watching your channel… I hope you show all us new comers to the peanut world how you boil these after harvest.

[@cindysands3747]

I'm a lifelong Norther, I love boiled peanuts. I can't get enough of them. The first time I tried them a friend from South Carolina made them while visiting. No one else would touch them so there were plenty for me!

[@everettmcdonald2088]

When I was growing up in New England, I never heard of boiled peanuts. When I came to South Carolina in 1979 we tried em and love them!

[@everettmcdonald2088]

And I would still like you to try popping a little glass gem corn and tell us how it comes out.

[@candacealdridge877]

Valencia is definitely my favorite also!! Anybody that I know that don’t like boiled peanuts I mark them as sketchy, lol. I hope you get a great harvest!

[@junefish1957]

I love boiled peanuts! Never knew they existed, growing up in NJ. Here in SC they are considered a staple food.

[@jjgayle8013]

Boiled peanuts - YUM!!

[@peterhoger4458]

Yes love peanuts can’t get enough boiled peanuts are especially good for most any occasion oh I’m in Queensland Australia and live about an hour and half from Kingaroy which is a small town filled with PEANUTS

[@debrawade6656]

I was raised in Florida by northern parents so I never heard or tasted boiled peanuts until I was 19 and I have loved them ever since. My kids have them just about as much as popcorn. We love growing, boiling and freezing them for another day of snacking.

[@bettyp.8177]

Love me some boiled peanuts! I even converted my Yankee husband. Now we arm wrestle for the peanuts.

[@ljwfarming]

I'm living in SW Ohio. Although my parents were from Kentucky, we never ate boiled peanuts. I can't remember the first time I tried them, but it must have been almost 50 years ago. Some of the local gas stations started selling them. I tried them and never looked back! I have developed my own recipe and cook them in a crock pot. I make more than I can eat, so I freeze them in small bags. This is the first time I have visited your site, and I enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot listening to you. What really stood out was that you truly enjoyed what you were doing. You create an aura that make your readers feel as though we're all kindred spirits. Thank you!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Larry! We're glad to have you joining us here!

[@kathyhutto4210]

Love, love, love boiled peanuts.

[@robertswaney6484]

I was born in the Carolinas live in Georgia . I have eating boiled peanuts as long as I can remember.😛 taste so good.

[@seedlingsanctuary4979]

You should have more views and comments. The corn 🌽 are awesome. My Dad'o "hilled" his corn. He planted corn, beans, and different squash at that point. Keep Growing. ... #lazydogfarm

[@mankind2112]

All day long on them boiled peanuts, grew up eating them. It's definitely a Southern thang!

[@deborahstrickland9845]

I love boiled peanuts! My dad would pull bunches of peanuts on my grandparent’s farm and boil them when I was a child. Yum.❤️

[@wendyharman3993]

I am from PA. Never knew about boiled peanuts until my 50’s. I loved them. I was so happy my kids thought they looked disgusting. More for me!!

[@wendyharman3993]

No boiled peanuts on side of road up her either.

[@justincrandall7294]

I moved to GA from MI 22 years ago and boiled peanuts got me hooked. I never went back.

[@johnoshiro8885]

Boiled peanuts are a Hawaiian delicacy and love them! They originated from the Chinese immigrants that came to work the sugar cane and pineapple fields. In Hawaii, they are boil in their shell with sea salt and a anise seed or two, which gives them a floral licorice flavor.

[@bluereader9015]

LOVE boiled peanuts. Especially in the fall.

[@apatterson1461]

I grew up on boiled peanuts...wonderful memories as well with my parents and grandparents. When going out to Canaveral pier to fish we always stopped for boiled peanuts. It was tradition.

[@kimberlierauton9094]

Love boiled peanuts. SC so it’s a must so we are friends.❤️🌻🥜🥜🥜

[@rickthelian2215]

Travis, Chicken food for the Corn your thinning.... Go nuts😀😀😀 Bolted lettuce, the chickens will love them.

[@stevelittlefield6956]

From peanut country in the Wiregrass of Alabama, near Dothan where we have the National Peanut Festival. Love boiled peanuts!

[@twhdvm]

Boiled peanuts are an essential food group for a life lived well. Go Dawgs.

[@LazyDogFarm]

GO DAWGS!

[@carolavant3778]

Oh, my! Yes!! Definitely love boiled peanuts! I make them, but my almost 35 yo son won't eat them. Won't even try them! Sometime I really worry about that boy! 'Bet money that he'd like them if he tried them though.

[@obtainingmercycroft]

I grew up in Central Florida, digging peanuts out of a friend's yard, as well as stopping by roadside stands. I love boiled peanuts!!!

[@treyzmodels422]

Boiled peanuts are excellent especially the Cajun seasoned ones! 😋👍

[@joeyl.rowland4153]

All day long. Mmmmm mmmmm good.

[@jasonflores3140]

I moved to South Carolina in 1997, before that I'd never heard of boiled peanuts. Once I tried them, my world changed forever! I like them even better than roasted, can't do football games without them!

[@osmadchlo]

Yes, I LOVE boiled peanuts!

[@farmsteaddreaming8471]

I was raised in deep south MS and my granny grew her own peanuts every year to boil, and I helped as much as a child could from as far back as I can remember. I remember the first batch of the season was pretty much dinner that night because the whole family would come over and granny would pour them out on to the table and we'd eat until we got a belly ache. It was more than a snack, it was a family tradition and some of my fondest memories. As an adult I introduced my husband to boiled peanuts on our first drive down for him to meet my family. Sadly, granny was gone by that time so it was just a can from a roadside, but I got him hooked. Hopefully, I'll be able to grow enough this year to boil myself and start the tradition over in my family up here in Memphis. Strangely, I haven't ever seen them up here.

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

Yup we grew both the big and the Spanish peanuts ! Boiled a parched them. !

[@rp6264]

Never have I seen or heard of boiled peanuts in California. I love roasted peanuts so I probably would like them if I tried them.

[@lawrencekeech2779]

Boiled peanuts YES! I have driven hours to find good ones. A local farm market now has them and they keep two 10 gallon pots going and still can’t keep up with demand.

[@jonathanborn8576]

never had them would like to try them im growing peanuts for the first time and im from manitoba ,canada be sure to make a video on how too

[@grandmaatthefarm125]

Yes, I love boiled peanuts! New Jersey girl who moved far, far south at an early age, thank the Lord! LOL I love grits and greens, too.

[@CliffWarren]

Hey Travis, I love the channel! I appreciate the explanations that you give to things. So, about boiled peanuts. I'm a lifelong northerner, but my mother is from Mississippi. Whenever I visit the south I LOVE boiled peanuts! I have to admit, I never had heard of them until about 15. years ago. They are unheard of up here. My daughter and her husband now live in Athens Ga, and for a gift they sent me a "boiled peanuts kit" which had the raw peanuts, the seasoning pack, and instructions. I made them up for the family reunion. Well, I ate about a third of them, and nobody else would touch them. Eh, a few tried one, mumbled something and walked away. Northerners.... can't trust 'em. I'm also growing a Big Zac for the contest. Get ready!

[@LazyDogFarm]

That's a shame that they wouldn't eat the peanuts you cooked. More for you though!

[@tudorpottudorpot8423]

From Canada, never heard of boiled peanuts before. Will try them if I’m ever down in Georgia again. I did enjoy Vidalia onions.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

I've never had boiled peanuts that I know of, I believe the peanuts I eat are roasted n seasoned. I would happily try some boiled if offered .

[@cynthiaedwards5149]

Now now. On the boiled peanuts can we come to a compromise. I love okra, only one in my house who does. But I'm just not fond of the boiled peanut. Yes I've tried them, texture thing I guess. But my husband likes them so maybe I get some household credit. I haven't missed any of the videos, just haven't been able to comment in a little while. My gardening and planting have almost come to a complete halt due to medical complications. I'm fighting my way back though it's just taking me longer than I anticipated on getting things done. I would like to know how Brooklyn 🤔 processes/uses her turmeric. Finally got around to getting a few baby chick's. I've lost 2 so far, but it's OK. They are in chick heaven now. I would have to go back and rewatch the videos to remember what questions I had. I got my LSU gold fig tree planted in ground finally though! Yay! Loving the channel. Missing Brooklyn and the boys! Stay away from the waterside. OH and what was this I remembered you saying about maybe not planting as many tomatoes 🤔. We are in the south we can't help planting too many tomatoes! Go Eddie!! I mean uh go Travis!!!!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Cynthia! Good to hear from you again!

[@deborahjennings4119]

Tried boiled peanuts for first time when we moved to NC. Absolutely love them! Especially the spicy ones!

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

Yes! Love boiled peanuts. Some of my favorite childhood memories are driving around the N. Georgia mountains in the fall looking at leaves and snacking on boiled peanuts!

[@rogertate5025]

yes...love them...sounds like another item for the boys road side vegetable stand

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Hey Travis, boiled peanuts is a Southern thing. I’ve lived in the great northwest and the middle part of the country in Oklahoma. Folks eat popcorn and the like at football games, not boiled peanuts. Personally, I love me some boiled peanuts - Cajun flavored!

[@Catdog9205]

Love them boiled peanuts. Grew up with them.

[@advillwertz6585]

Ha! Travis, you are the man. I had a guy look at me cross eyed who was from northern Indiana when I told him I had some boiled peanuts earlier. He said " How's that go? B...o...i..l..e..d...Peanuts? I said " Yeah, boiled Peanuts." He said " B..o..i..l..e..d Peanuts...? " Hum...?"

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

Lol, I’ve never tried boiled peanuts, never even seen them anywhere, but I feel like I’m gonna make it a point to find some and try them, 😂 Pretty sure that’s just a southern thing. Out here in California we have people sitting on the side of the road selling mostly strawberries and oranges, (and really good tacos), lol

[@tommathews3964]

Your life will change for the better!

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

I was raised on them. Around here the farmers use to use peanuts as a nitrogen fixer or a bumper crop between corn, cotton or tobacco harvests so we could ride down the road and find farmers boiling peanuts in stainless 55 gallon drums in their homemade brine. The canned ones are no where near as good as fresh ones from the fields down-the-road from your house. I've never grown them but may try it because most farmers have stopped growing them around here unfortunately.

[@bowhunter1172]

Boiled peanuts 🤘, Love them , must be a southern thing for sure , a must try if you havent.

[@brittaneepruitt3707]

Love boiled peanuts. I'm from New Orleans and I think it's a Southern thing. Lol

[@ceciliamcbride8717]

Yes, I love boil peanuts grow up on them from my grandmother

[@kathleenebsen2659]

Growing up in California, I had no idea what boiled peanuts even are. Then I had some in Arkansas. They tasted like beans. They were just ok. My friend from Florida made some for me in a slow cooker flavored with Old Bay seasoning. Fantastic!

[@AutoSpecUS]

I'm in New Jersey and I love boiled peanuts. I wish we had people selling them on the side of the road like down south but I find them at flea markets occasionally

I love boiled peanuts! Nothing better as far as I’m concerned. Southeast Georgia.

[@tailgategardeners7752]

Love the “bald” peanuts down here in Baton Rouge! Regular salty and Cajun. Even had them boiled in crab boil before. No shortage of vendors for boiled peanuts either. They have them at every gas station, snowball stand, and every half mile on the side of the road. Lol!

Mannn you cracked me up tonight! YES! BOILED PNUTS!

[@carlenelamolinare5070]

Love them boiled peanuts !

[@davesrvchannel4717]

To anyone that cannot find boiled peanuts, they have texture similar to chic peas. Some people I’ve known to freak out over the texture because they’re used to peanuts being crunchy. I prefer boiled. Canned boiled peanuts sold at Walmart are too salty, gotta buy roadside and have with orange crush.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yes!

[@bronwendemmocks7569]

Had never heard of boiled peanuts till watching your channel. Definitely not a thing in New Zealand but I'll try them now I know.

I like boiled peanuts. You don't see much of them in New Mexico or Colorado but I sure do like them when I go down south. I first ate boiled peanuts in 1980 when I was stationed in Georgia.

Boiled peanuts are the best. One of my favorite food memories was going to the springs as a kid and getting boiled peanuts from a guy on the side of the road

Boiled peanuts isnt much of a thing here in south Arkansas and never had them until I was 50 years old and that was 22 years ago in Houston.That was the first time I ever saw them and they were good.Everyone here wants parched peanuts.A peanut is a peanut and I eat them boiled,parched and raw!!!!I love my peanuts!!! My mother used to tell us about being on the farm back in the 30's when she was growing up.They had parched peanuts and popcorn every night after supper.

When I was in grad school at Kansas State ( Entomology) . I had a friend from Virginia send me. a 25 lb bag of green peanuts. I was from SC/GA.. I occasionally scouted peanuts for farmers. Boiled peanuts are awesome.

[@OrioleHomestead]

I live in Michigan and have never had boiled peanuts. Also doesn't seem to be any or very few places that sell them around here. Now I have seen them as I lived a couple years in my younger days in North Carolina

[@cindyelmore7784]

We love boiled peanuts!! Here in Texas

[@donnalovintexas8760]

I have never had boiled peanuts. We always had roasted peanuts. In Shreveport Louisiana years ago there was a bait shop called Bacons (still around, relocated and smaller). Bacons always had roasted peanuts customers would eat and through the hulls on the floor. As kids its was the one time we did not get in trouble for dropping food on the floor 🤣.

[@jtharp9265]

Absolutely love Boiled peanuts - especially where my Daddy & his wife are and I grew up McCalla, Alabama - West blockton, Alabama Plus every Truck stop - Gas station - even here in Texas has boiled peanuts - Regular & Hot n spicy . Yummy . Thank you for the Great Memories. Mrs Josette Tharp Montgomery County , Texas 👍

[@sandragarner3913]

I was born and raised in Florida and we love boiled peanuts. I can understand other parts of the country not knowing anything about them. I know a very nice lady from Chicago and she doesn’t like most of our southern foods

[@sandragarner3913]

But that’s ok there are a few New England items I’m not too crazy about. More peanuts for me. At my granddaughters wedding which was held in August in the middle of Georgia, outside. They had boiled peanuts to hold people over for the rest of the food. As far as I was concerned the nuts where the best food and the shells just went on the ground.

[@TalkingThreadsMedia]

Survey re boiled peanuts: Sorry, Travis... never heard of them. Garden is full for 2022, but might try growing Valencia’s when we expand the garden again in 2023. Thanks for the suggestion. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 7:00 am, 5/17/2022.
