On a road trip to Florida via Georgia we kept seeing sign after sign for boiled peanuts. We'll we both got us a big ole bag. Yuck! Each took a nut from our own bag and spit it out. Although I've been in the south for the majority of my 50 years, I have never had the nerve to try grits. My mother eats them covered in sugar and butter. Those 2 ingredients tend to help most anything taste better. _________________________ The opinions expressed are mine and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.

However when your 22, driving through the north ga mountains in jan, in a convertible with the heater on and the top down, throwing the shells out of the car, they taste pretty darn good!

waldensouth Power Poster Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 7,984 FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line	Actually, the first time I ate asparagus I thought they tasted just like boiled peanuts! I can eat peanuts anyway you can make em. My grandpa and I used to walk thru the fields and pick em and eat em as we walked. Good stuff! Grits, yummy! Grits were created when some scots moved to GA and couldn't grow Oats. So, they created grits out of corn to eat instead of oatmeal. _________________________ "Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." - Frederick Douglass My Opinion Only.

Boiled for 30 minutes with no salt added. This will soften the shells. Next add about a 1/2 box of salt. Cook for 1 hour. To finish the peanut off add two beers and cook for 30 more minutes. Doesn't hurt to have a cold beer while you are waiting those last 30 minutes. Serve hot but remember to refrigerate the left overs. The secret to excellent grits is to add about 1/4 cup of milk or cream right before you serve them.
