How 'Bout Peanuts

 I remember begging Mother to make boiled peanuts.

 Oh how I loved to eat them.

 They were best served hot.

 Usually mother would say, "Oh I don't know.

 They take a lot of salt and I'm not sure we need to eat that much salt right now."

But when we had a fresh harvest of peanuts from the garden and the peanuts were still green, she would generally make a big pan of boiled peanuts.

Recently, I was quite astonished to find several cans of

 "Green Boiled Peanuts"

 available for purchase in the grocery aisle.

When I spotted them, I promptly put a can in the cart to bring home to try.

And now I hear myself saying, "Oh, I don't know.  They take a lot of salt and I'm not sure if we need to eat that much salt right now."

 

I did eat a few though.

As I munched, I tried to decide how I would describe them.

 

Have you ever eaten boiled peanuts?

How would you describe them?
