Similar to the tamale lady, boiled peanuts are best purchased from the elderly or a fat kid at a minivan in a parking lot. They come in a styrofoam cup or a ziplock. I like them partially frozen, the brine makes them crunchy.

This is gonna make me want some. When I was a child and my parents would take me to my grandparents to visit my parents would always buy some on the way to Dahlonega.
I saw at least one comment saying they’ve never heard of them. I heavily associate them with the rural Southeast US and/or Appalachia. As suburban sprawl crept our further I saw them less. The area I’m in now I don’t ever really see them.
They’re very much one of those snacks where you can buy them from the store and convenience stores, but it just isn’t the same. Sometimes restaurants have them and they’re pretty good, but it just doesn’t feel the same.
