Are boiled peanuts still crunchy?

No, as I just posted you boil them fresh from the field. I suppose you would say you buy the green ones and then boil them in salted water.
They can be hard and the real young ones are kinda mooshie. I personally like the soft....not too hard ones. I think it really depends on their age.
I'm sure it's too cold in Canada to grow them as in most things there. However, do you guys have them packaged as green fresh up there in the stores?

I was going to eventually get to that Dad.
Yes, my grandma made the best of that too. What was it about those iron skillets and how anything tasted good in them? And fried??? Oh my! I rarely eat fried foods now, but I was thinking of my granny's fresh cream corn in the skillet today. She would fix that, fresh tomatoes and okra, along with fried pork chops or chicken. OMG.........so much grease/oil...............no, LARD!
I like dill pickled okra. Have any of you tried that? It's in the grocery stores.
