Boiled peanuts are more than a snack - they're a story. A steaming paper bag passed from one hand to another. A roadside stand on a long stretch of highway. A pot simmering on a back porch while cicadas hum in the trees. This book is a celebration of that story.Inside these pages, you'll find history, recipes, roadside tales, and the kind of Southern wisdom that only comes from stirring a pot for hours and tasting until it's just right. Whether you're a lifelong peanut lover or a curious newcomer, welcome. Pull up a chair. The pot's already on.
