anything snackish.

Soybeans are sold that way, Wayne. Don't know the prep, though.

I made some by soaking the soy beans with some hot stuff added to the
water. Then I toasted them in the oven. May have added a bit of oil
to the cookie sheet. Worked fine.

Just boil them in salted water, for a snack (serve cold).

Well, I haven't seen anyone mention boiled peanuts! Delicious, good for you,
easy to make, and I just love them! Here's some basic instructions :

BOILED PEANUTS

Lots of raw peanuts in the shell
3/4 cup salt

Fill a 3 1/2-quart crockpot with raw peanuts, add salt, then fill with
water. Put the lid on the crockpot and cook on LOW at least 18 hours. The
peanuts are SUPPOSED to be mushy but some people like them a little crunchy,
so you may want to cook them just overnight.

Cheers, ya'll ~

Can they be shipped? In other words, would it travel well? I keep
reading about them, but never (as far as I know) had them.

Well, that's a good question! I think ... I think you couldn't ship them
very far, and would have to do it really fast, or they'd mould. See, they're
soggy and wet. Messy, too, but it's worth it. Think about it - a peanut's a
legume, and you'd certainly boil peas, and salt them.

I live right near the North Georgia Mountains. You can take a drive up there
( just gorgeous : ), and every coupla hundred feet you'll see a man beside
the road with a big barrel, and a fire under it. He'll fish you out a little
paper bag full, and give you another bag to put the shells in. It's nice : )

To eat it, you give the shell a little squeeze, and it'll just fall away.
The peanuts inside are soft and salty and mushy. Not at all hard to make,
provided you get the brine right. Give it a go, and try some!

Cheers, ya'll ~

I've seen them in cans; surely there is some online store that could
sell you the canned variety. The ones in cans aren't that good,
though. I love fresh ones.

There's an Indian snack mix that includes beans. Here's an example --

Ooh! That's "Bombay Mix"! ( Or pretty close to it ). I used to live in
England, you could buy it at the grocery store, and I just found it
irresistable. I sure miss it, and was never was able to find a recipe for
it. Thanks!

Oh, and about the boiled peanuts - that's right, you *can* buy them in a
can! I forget who makes them, but around here the label is yellow with green
trim. They're pretty good if you get them hot, but no, not as good as fresh.

Cheers, ya'll ~

Another idea is to cook beans until they turn into a paste - this is
effective with chick peas, pinto beans, fava beans, peas, red beans, and
black beans, at minimum. Then you can use the paste like a dip or spread
(for crackers, chips, whatever) either as is or with various additions,
e.g. chiles, soy sauce, pieces of cut-up ham - the variations are endless.

Depends on the 'bean'. At work last week I was offered at taste of Wasabi
beans. They were toasted and had the sort of horseradish taste and a tiny
bite to them; can't say they were all that hot. But the guy who offered
them to me thought they were wayyyy hot. (laughing)

Definitely. I make roasted chickpea snacks. I like to use cooked
dried chickpeas. Canned are a bit too mushy. Make sure they're
really dry. Toss with some olive oil and your favourite spice mixture
(I like chile or curry spice mixes), then toss onto a cookie sheet and
put into a 250-300F oven for about 40 minutes or until they get a bit
crispy.

"Nation of Islam bean pies."

Now, this is a new one on me. Google isn't finding much on them
either.

I did find this one recipe though:

I've had something akin to this before, but made with pinto beans.
Didn't do anything for me, but I don't think it had so much egg so
perhaps the texture of this one would be different.

Is this like what a "Nation of Islam bean pie" is?

Beats me. I've never tasted, or even seen, one. The Black Muslims and
the Nation of Islam are famous for them, though. Apparently they are
also called Black Muslim Bean Pie and Shabazz Bakery Bean Pie. Here's
a link to the only recipe I could find on the web. It's pretty similar
to the one you posted, but it seems a little richer:
