Thanks everyone. So far some of you at least know what those items are or have atleast tried them. This is good.

I've never had Okra cooked in the way that is common in the Southern States though.
Bhindi Bhajai is a great way to cook them with spices and so on. Yum.
Grits I had once - not a fan, but they weren't foul.
Boiled peanuts I'd never heard of until this thread, althouhg I've had plenty of Satay (Malaysian food that uses peanuts and chillies to make a spicy paste/sauce).
I'm from Southern England, and have been to the Pacific Northwest, but ate all of these things at home. |
Boiled peanuts here in the southern states(USA) are like what roasted peanuts is to the northerners here.
We use to always have boiled peanuts(Peanut Boils---family get togethers) in the old sugar cane bowl (large skillet for making syrup) over at my grandfather's house. That is on a large scale with a large family!
But, it's where you take fresh peanuts from the field, wash them and boil them in salted water. You have to make sure you don't over cook/boil or under cook them.
