YES!!!! Sometimes I go with plain salty goodness. And sometimes I go spicy Cajun. They're ALL delicious!

Omg yes. I love making them in a crock pot with beer, cayenne, Texas Pete and whatever other hot and spicy ingredients I have on hand.

Just a guess here:
@Detroitgator grew up too far north to enjoy them
@soflagator grew up too far south to ever try one
@Gatordiddy, also from Tally, likes them

Oddly enough it’s probably very similar to a boiled salted slug. A deliciously seasoned boiled salted slug. But I’ve never tried a slug.Those are one of the nastiest things that humans eat. Mrs. Nalt absolutely loves them but I can't stand them. I think I'd rather eat a salted slug than boiled peanuts.

I can imagine a boiled salted slug might be about the same as boiled peanuts only softer...

Love 'em and the memories associated with them Stopping on the road to buy bag of boiled peanuts while traveling to see relatives. Going up in the country to buy fresh peanuts to boil (trying to make boiled peanuts out of the roasted things you get at the grocery store won't work). They have to be soaked and slow boiled most of the day and then soaked afterward. A 12 hour process. Never thought of using a slow cooker. Good idea.

Not the worst, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them.

Used to love them, but got food poisoning from a batch I bought in the GA mountains about 16 years ago and haven’t been able to eat them since

Absolutely love them.
When I lived in Philly, I had my mom overnight a huge box of green ones and I boiled them for friends up there. They had absolutely no idea what to make of them. Pretty funny coming from the land of scrapple.

Absolutely love them. We used to stop on the side of the road (just outside Camp Blanding) and get a couple bags before every home game. That dude made a fortune.
My Dad would also make them. They have to be green peanuts, as Brad said. People out here don’t know what to make of them. My Dad and I thought about setting up a stand at UNR games but no one will ship them out here (peanut allergies).

Some of those guys used sea water. Saved on buying salt and added a robust aroma to the peanuts. Which may explain the food poisoning mentioned above.Gas stations on the way to the beach or in southern Ga do it best. Maybe it’s because they never change out the water.

My wife introduced me to boiled peanuts when we were dating.Gas stations on the way to the beach or in southern Ga do it best. Maybe it’s because they never change out the water.
Before we were even somewhat successful, early in our marriage, we would go to the Romona Blvd Flea Market
Nearly every Sunday morning.
(Jacksonville, off I -10 and Lane Ave)
A vendor there had , what he called, “Texas” Boiled Peanuts.
They were the biggest damn peanuts I’ve ever had.
He had to cook them for days to get them tender and full of salt.
Never had any that big since then.
It was about 1986 or so when he moved his stand over to beach Blvd., then eventually, we couldn’t find him anymore.
