Over the years I have switched back and forth as to what I like. I used to
like the Planter's Cocktail ones. But in those days they were super oily.
At home, we only had them when company came. It was my job to put them in
the fancy dish and to blot off the oil that collected at the bottom. I
don't know if they are roasting them in some other kind of oil now or what.
But they're not the same and the flavor just isn't as good.

Have tried those imported from the south. Like blistered Virginia ones.
Have to store in the fridge. Again, no flavor.

Did love the Margarita peanuts when I could find them. But they are too
expensive for me to mail order so I do without.

Was a time that I was into dry roasted. But now? They seem to have a funny
flavor to me.

So my current favorite are the Spanish. But they are hard to find. Seems
most stores don't sell them.

Oh and I did try the Valencia. They were just okay.

What are your favorite kind of peanuts?

I've got little ones sold at a flea market, fresh and different. From Ga.
My giant eagle has excellent peanuts.
I also like roasting the raw ones from Bottom Dollar.

I mail ordered mine from various places and they all said to refrigerate.

Hoody's (from Oregon, in the shell) used to be head and shoulders above the rest (quality and shelf life) but now they're just average.

Rocky Peanut in Detroit's Eastern Market used to sell peanuts fresh from the roaster, but now everything is bagged up -- who knows how long they've been there.

I do remember buying Hoody. Also used to like Fishers but they code their
expiration dates so that the average consumer can't tell if they are fresh
or not. Or I should say that they used to. That might have changed.

I tried them once. They tasted okay but I can't buy them any more due to
possible cross contamination.

I can't remember now. But I can't have dairy, eggs, and some other nuts. I
realize that other nut cross contamination is common and I will take my
chances on that. But dairy and egg do a real number on my stomach.

Just be careful and go for purity.

I think some of the natural foods stores have segregated nut bins.

Those should be safe.

I'd have to say Spanish, too. I like the texture and I like the skins.

Ditto. I didn't like the texture at all. I bought some the last time we
were in Myrtle Beach. Apparently they're big down there.

Bulk foods are the worst for cross contamination. You don't know what was
in that bin prior or if they have a scoop, whether or not someone used a
different scoop in that bin. Plus the nuts and seeds are often not fresh.

Sadly, my little health food store closed. They had the freshest nuts.
They bought in bulk and bagged them themselves. I especially loved their
sprouted walnuts. AFAIK I have not had any issues with nuts that said they
were processed on the same equipment with other nuts. But I did have
problems with some that said they were processed on lines with egg and
dairy.

Yes! I love those too. I used to love to freak my grandpa out. He would
give me the nuts then tell me the story of some coworker he had who choked
to death on a peanut hull. Then cautioned me not to choke on it. So of
course, I would put it in my mouth, pretend to choke and he would freak.
Every stinking time!

I thought I would like them because I like most all legumes but they were
kind of slimy.

Yep, boiled green (raw) peanuts are a big thing, at least in South
Carolina. People either love them or hate them. I happen to love them.
I'm supposed to avoid peanuts, but boiled peanuts are so soft I don't
worry about eating them occasionally.

Peanuts are anathema to my digestive system. These days, when I
get a hankering for something akin to a peanut butter sandwich, I
use sunflower seed butter. It's better than those replacements
like soynut butter by far snd the closest to peanbut butter in
taste and texture that I've found. Of course it only comes with no
sugar added and there is no crunchy version.

Not near me but I will look next time I am out that way. I don't usually
buy stuff from there due to cross contamination though.

Soy is not good for you IMO. If I could, I would have almond butter. But I
can't. So...

Winco foods seem fresh. They are constantly busy. Open 24 hours a day.
And they do seem to take care when filling the bins. I have bought some
hazel nuts from them and they were fine. But... I have bought nuts and
seeds from other stores and found them to be rancid.

My mom was fond of putting dried beans and popcorn in my Christmas stocking
that she bought bulk. I won't name the store but I know where she got them.
Always very old. Corn did not pop well. Beans took forever to cook. Got
to the point where I would not even use these things unless I was desperate.
Like snowed in and running out of food. No sense in my mind to even buy
such things. I did try to tell her that I preferred not to buy from them
because of this but she continued to buy.

You can amend it if you are missing a bit of sweetness or the crunch.

No problema. I never did like sugary pb or even crunchy.

My favorites are the roasted peanuts done at local Veitnamese
restaurants and/or deli's, and sold at the cash-restister in little
tubs. I drive across town to get them at one place in Westminster.
The Vietnamese supermarkets have them too, but they are either sugared
a little or garlic'd. I prefer them just roasted, but frankly I think
they spritz them with just a little soy, or diluted soy.

They are the best thing ever with a cocktail.

Ah, I misunderstood. BTW, nice to see you.

Like peanuts when they are boiled and if they are being made to peanut butter.

You shouldn't refer to " other nuts," because peanuts aren't nuts.

Nobody cares, honest. The name is peaNUT, not pea-legume.
