Well, I was born, raised and lived in Alabama my entar life. I can't stand boiled peanuts. To start with, they smell like dirty feet. I don't remember ever tasting dirty feet, but they taste like what I imagine dirty feet would taste like with an extra coating of sweat.

Now parched peanuts? That's some count.

I just figured carpetbaggers brought boiled peanuts down here with them.
