Peanuts - Do You Eat the Shell Too?

I love salted peanuts, and my whole life I've eaten them shell and all. Not eating the shell seems like such a waste of salt.

Some people saw me doing it and thought it was really wierd. Thoughts?

I bet that's not all you suck on, you dirty bastard.

I usually try sucking on a few pistachio shells then give up. They just don't absorb salt in the same way as peanuts 🙁
 
not so much the shell, but I do like the red part that sticks to the shell. Fun to sit around with the kids and crack peanuts, have contests throwing them into a bucket
 
I've eaten a shell or two in my lifetime, but don't really like them nor think it's normal.
 
My first introduction to Tamales involved a tamale sliced up and me thinking I should just pop the whole thing in, husk and all. So no, eating the shells is just plain fucked up. Do you eat the peeling of the banana too?
 
Nope...same w/ shrimp- never understood why people eat them fully in their shell...my friend who does says it's just cause he's lazy 😕
 
Never heard of eating the shell. I buy shelled peanuts. I do sometimes roast and eat unshelled pumpkin seeds, but prefer shelled ones. Can't imagine doing it with peanuts. If I eat a peanut in a shell, I shell it first.

I didn't even know they were edible.

They aren't, unless you stretch the definition of edible to the point of breaking. Oak bark's edible if you use tat standard :^P

WTF shrimp? That would feel like eating plastic wrap! There's no way you could chew it up properly.
