Watcha eating?

[2LaneCruzer]

Do you eat them boiled? Very popular in NC, I like mine as is and fresh from the bottom of the vine.

Neve eaten, or even seen, a boiled peanut. I like mine roasted and salted; although in moderation...they have a very energetic effect on peristalasis and segmentation in my system. Don't care for them raw, although Sharn Jean uses a lot of them in her peanut brittle. Funny side light; my daughter and her new husband lived in Michigan, near Detroit for a couple years. We had to ship her some raw peanuts from Oklahoma for her peanut brittle. Think she had a dry spell without okra up there in Yankeeland also.

I love deep fried okra using Calabash breading as a light dusting, then dip it just a little in marinara.

Just keep in mind ---Ever notice those boiled peanut stands on the side of the road have that big kettle boiling with those salty boiled peanuts....? Ever notice they have no bathroom there on the side of the road...? Ya ever wonder why those peanuts are so salty ? Enough said :confused3:

No okra? Well, that ain't natural!

Fried, grilled, pickled, in soups and stews, okra is a basic necessity!

Okra is even available in Yankeeland these days. Not hard to find but not exactly one of the most popular veggies. Trouble is it doesn't fit well into traditional northern cooking. I use it in soups and stews but rarely alone. You rednecks need to do a better job exporting your recipes. Enough of Col Sanders and BBQ sauce, let's see what else you can do!
