We all have different tastes, and different opinions, and that is fine. Makes life interesting. But I take offense at the "real" peanuts comments. I grew up planting them, hoeing them, harvesting them, cleaning them, cooking them,.......how is that not real but the processed ones you buy in the store are?
If you ate some and they were slimy, they were not freshly boiled.
I used to put peanuts (not boiled for heaven's sake!) in my cokes when I was a kid, but haven't tried that in years

I bet some of you turn up your noses at fried catfish and sweet tea, too.
