What an odd combination for lunch:)  But surprisingly awesome.  The salty peanuts opposed to the sweet figs (Celeste).   Neighbor brought me back a bushel of green peanuts yesterday and I boiled them up, well half yesterday and second half is on boiling now.  A definite southern treat.   

Yes it is.

Well it sure don't surprise this southern' fella none!

Sweet n Salty good combination .

I adore them both! But boiled peanuts is definitely an acquired taste. You either really love them or really hate them. LOL

sounds totally fun. i'll try thatif i ever getmore than 2 figs per tree.

Sounds like a great combo.
I grew up eating boiled peanuts and I tried to introduce boiled peanuts to lots of people here in NH.
Even tried calling them Southern edamame to get people to give them a try.
In general it wasn't the big hit I had hoped it would be , but I did find some folks who loved them.

  Boiled peanuts and figs, That's close enough to peanut butter and jelly.Sounds good to me. I wonder what figs and grits would taste like?

Boiled peanuts were one of best surprises of the south. The first time I saw them I thought they looked like Calif slugs!. I tasted one to be polite and WOW.  I boiled a bunch and canned them. Now I'm all set and waiting for those figs to get ripe.  

Yes Mike,

That trip to Houma, La. is looking mighty fine now.
Crawfish and boiled peanuts. I sure miss those trips along the I-10.


And those cracklins!

In South Georgia some school agriculture programs sell locally canned boiled peanuts as a fund raiser.

Womack,

Schools around here sell cookie dough for fund raisers.

I rather go with the boiled peanuts.
