There's a difference in how they are cooked . My high school sells boiled peanuts at our home football games . They are out of a can and are nasty ! I raise my own peanuts . Spanish style peanuts. I wash them and then add salt to taste and boil . They can cook too long which ruins their taste . I start sampling at about an hour and when they get like I like them I let them soak . My oldest son likes Cajun style so he adds red pepper. I don't do hot and spicy I've had people who say they don't like them to love mine . I'm ok if folks don't eat them ; just more for me !I never cared for boiled peanuts. 1st and last time was in N. Cackalacky around 1969 and I haven't (and won't) try them again.
Do you eat them wet or dry them out first? I only ever had roasted peanuts.There's a difference in how they are cooked . My high school sells boiled peanuts at our home football games .

Same here, except that horrible NC experience. I'm a fast learner. Once bit, twice shyDo you eat them wet or dry them out first? I only ever had roasted peanuts.
