Boiled nuts?
Posted by: Meditrina | October 29, 2007 at 04:25 PM
whew. but OW.
Posted by: queensbee | October 29, 2007 at 04:25 PM
...but most men like grilling.

I'm willing to go for pressed nuts, but I will never go for boiled nuts.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 29, 2007 at 04:27 PM
..I imagine most women would like to do some serious searing just on principal.
Posted by: Texas | October 29, 2007 at 04:29 PM
water and heat penetrate the nuts, releasing beneficial chemicals
I guess that explains the hot tub incident.

Yay! Southern folk finally have something to eat that's actually GOOD for you!
I miss boiled peanuts.

Well, I heard on the Food Network that you were supposed to keep your nuts in the freezer.

That's where mine are, Lizzy.

*Snork* @DPC!
Nothing goes better with cold beer than hot boiled peanuts (or 'cat turds' as my one-time SO described them); I'll live forever!!

EWWW...boiled nuts are icky!

*SNORK* @ sthnbelle.
True. I have yet to see a sign by the side of the road that says, "Deep Fried Boiled Peanuts next exit".

Another case of the cure is worse than the disease.

belle - I thought them's was "bald" nuts where you come from.
Texas, I do not generally wish to sear a man's nuts. Scouts honor! Yes, I really was a Girl Scout, why do you ask?

"No,no,no, I said prick his boil!"

LOL, JEC.

Belated *SNORK* @ Suzy Q!! I ain't answerin' that for all the tea in China.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 29, 2007 at 05:51 PM
Boiled nuts may be good for you, but I think I'd rather suck on a couple of bawls, personally.

Posted by: Megan | October 29, 2007 at 07:15 PM
Yep, Megan ... and does that surprise you?
Sheesh! This "news" story is barely out, and I've already had spammage tellin' me about it before I read this linked story ...
The wonders of modern science, eh?

Merely trineta help ...
Posted by: O the U(manity) | October 29, 2007 at 11:29 PM
Oh-U: My error, I think.
The revised instructions said to "take the bull by the horns".
Sorry for the confusion. Bad translation ;)
Posted by: PirateBoy | October 29, 2007 at 11:57 PM
But if you boil them they aren't salty anymore...
Posted by: Interim Name Supression | October 30, 2007 at 07:58 AM
layzee, darlin', you boil 'em (in the shell) in salt water, (Can't believe I'm about to say this), and sucking on them is the best part. And yes, Diva, they are "bald" peanuts round 'bout where I grew up.
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 30, 2007 at 09:46 AM
CJ, a cold beer may be good with them, I haven't tried that...but an ice cold Blenheim's ginger ale is really good too...
Not the original hot one though...not-as-hot works for me.
I'll have to stop by the produce stand tomorrow...
