Ranks right up there with suckin' the brains out of dem crawdads
down in Cajan country too.   In Meridies commonly, travel to rural
events in late summer and early fall is marked every few miles
(on interstates... NOT)  by columns of smoke announcing another
roadside stand with  boiling cauldrons of peanuts for sale.  Nothing
compares with their gaseous effects (except maybe pickled eggs)
in  a closed van.  Messy too.... wet shells and skins all over the floor
mats!
