Education time.

Hey, I'll stop and eat BBQ - even Gator - with ya, but I ain't eatin' no boiled peanuts:speechless::laugh2:
Never heard of boiled peanuts, so looked 'em up. And found out that boiled peanuts are an important part of southern food culture, they are the official state snack of South Carolina and most people either love them or hate them.

So we're back to Marmite. Or Vegemite. Which is the same thing. Or isn't.

I like them with hot sauce.
 
When I was a kid growing up in Perth, there were no fast food outlets, no shopping malls, fast food was fish and chips or a pie. For me, wierd food was pig's trotters, tripe, sheep's brains and ox tongue, still is. People ate some strange foods back then: Bread and dripping being a very strange one, yuck!

My dad was Polish; we ate all that shit too…. I quite liked it.
 
So for my sweet potato chips, would cut the tubers lengthwise into 1/2" square pieces, coat them with oil, possibly dust with salt and paprika and roast in a hot oven on an oven tray. Which might be a baking sheet in the US?
Oh yes! cubed sweet potaotes, regular potatoes, acorn squash, carrots and onions all tossed in oil (or melted butter to be heart healthy) seasoned to your preferences (need garlic) on parchment paper baked on a "cookie" sheet. ;^) 350F (175C) about 40 minutes turning a couple times. Yum Yum!
 
Boiled peanuts; stopped and bought some, (can 100 mississippi roadside vendors be wrong?) Yup!
I moved from Beaver Dam to LA (Lower Alabama :sneaky:). As I recall, boiled peanuts was an "acquired taste." Best head back down there and try again. :lmao:
 
Crawdad boils.
I only have to travel a mile to get crawfish. Yum!

Yes, it can be very spicy.
 
Had my buddy's bachelor party there. A bunch of us from Milwaukee, Maddison, and Green Bay rented a house. That town was forever changed...actually it's probably just as it has always been. Went to what seemed to be the only bar in town. One friend opted to wear a dress and everyone kept congratulating us and telling us we were "brave". We were just not in the way they thought 😂
 
Having Polish and Sauerkraut tonight. Some would love it some would hate it. I love it!
I also happen to like Cilantro. My girlfriend can't stand it, say's it smells like stinky feet.
But we both like mushrooms.
I still say the bravest man in history was the one one that tasted blue cheese for the first time. Think about it. " Hay buddy try this moldy cheese." It is a acquired taste.
