    Hot boiled peanuts are a delicacy served at gas stations all over the southern US! (Also they are legumes, like peas, not nuts.)

      Delicacy is putting a horrible misnomer on those things. They aren’t bad, but fuck do they spill easily when your partner decides to take a sharp turn out of the gas station lot.

      Yes yes! I grew up on road trips north and back and we used to just stop whenever we saw them. Had a favorite stop we didn’t know the name of we called ‘boiled peanuts guy’ and his were the best!
