Yes, they are a southern thing.  They are boiled in water so salty, it's 
more like a brine.  The texture is crisp/soggy.  Like a pickle.

bonne--who has sentimental memories of floating around in an inner tube on 
the lake, sharing a can of boiled peanuts with my cousin.  tossing the 
shells to the ducks, who couldn't eat them but got all excited anyway.

(add to list of things to do before moving.  Go to Winn-Dixie and buy a half 
a dozen cans of Thrifty-Maid boiled peanuts.  That ought to last me a couple 
of years.  I don't eat them that often, but I know they aren't going to be 
on the shelves in California.)
