^but they also taste nothing like MSG. Pure MSG tastes exactly like takeout Chinese Food. I've tried every manufacturer of dry roasted peanuts that I have encountered, and none have ever had the MSG taste.

The wider world has been exposed to boiled peanuts so it has well been worth the fourteen year journey.

I tried boiled peanuts for the first time a few years ago. It was not experience I'm looking to repeat.

JHumeC is ATOT just old people now? Arguments over boiled or steamed peanuts? Might as well just snort powdered peanuts or spoon it in with your Metamucil.

Barf. i never understood the fondness for boiled peanuts. Mostly it's seemed to be southerners...but that might just be my limited experience with them. (boiled peanuts, not southerners)

You can never be too young for Metamucil or Miralax.

I don't like them either but yes, very popular in the south and especially the foothill/mountain regions. I wonder if their popularity is attributed to the fact that, for many generations, those boiled peanut stands on the sides of the old roads were where you would go to ask for the "special peanuts," meaning hooch from one of the local moonshiners.

Ugh, microwaved ice cream on a cake cone no doubt. You sicken me, sir!
I ain't the one microwaving ice cream. You are just upset that you've lived a lie, eating ice cream served in an inferior waffle cone (probably sweated in by Madonna) when you could have enjoyed a cake cone.

It's interesting to see what it looks like as someone slips further into madness.

Have you ever tried to snort something that isn't very water soluble - meaning anything that doesn't dissolve like cotton candy in a hurricane? No sir, you have not.
