rixalex Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Anyone managed to develop a taste for them? Seems like the last thing anyone would want to do to a nut is make it all wet and soggy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Are you talking about the boiled peanuts for sale? I like them in limited amounts. Too salty for me now. They're also sold in Aussie green grocers and I remember eating them as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Are you talking about the boiled peanuts for sale? Yep. Monkey Nuts. I like them in limited amounts. Really? They're also sold in Aussie green grocers Really??? Didn't know that. Never seen them outside of Thailand. They taste all wrong to me. Guess it's what you are used to.

Samuian Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 why not, because westerners only know them roasted? As corn, red and black beans are considered "sweet"... as a snack why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 why not, because westerners only know them roasted? Yep, to my Western mind, the only thing a nut is good for is roasting! Boiling?! I think not! Just as beef isn't meant for boiling, but these crazy people do that here too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcsusnret Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 In many of the US southern states, boiled peanuts are very popular especially the ones with cajun spices. They will light you up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deke Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I've acquired a taste for them myself. There's a guy selling them near my office and I buy 20 Baht worth every few days. Better than snacking on all that sweet stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue eyes Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I like boiled peanuts with spices.They are sold in many areas of the US. I also like boiled jack fruit seeds.They taste a bit like macadamian nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Many Western 'roasted' peanuts are infact deep fried then bagged with salt and sold. Personally I like them freshly roasted in shell over a BBQ fire using an old wok part filled with plain sand, hot crispy and no salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBKK Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Anyone managed to develop a taste for them? Seems like the last thing anyone would want to do to a nut is make it all wet and soggy! I developed a taste for them about 30 years ago in London. I really think there are much stranger things to worry about. Frogs and snails, <deleted>! I thought only French people ate them ... except winkles, of course, which are lovely, but I haven't found any here. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
