I'm not Carol, but those are a favorite in the part of my family that
comes from Mississippi and Charleston. Take a mess of *RAW* peanuts in
the shell, and boil them for several hours in very salty water. We like
to eat them cold. The peanut shells capture a little of the salty water,
and it's delicious. The peanuts themselves end up the texture of beans,
which they of course are. It's the only way I really like peanuts,
except in Thai peanut sauce.
