NWFlyer 2 #1 July 22, 2010 At a baseball game last night, one of my companions bought a bag of roasted, salted peanuts in the shell. She passed them around and I grabbed a handful and started crunching on them right in the shell. She looked at me like I had two heads, but I talked her into trying one small one and she agreed it wasn't bad (but continued to shell the peanuts for the rest of the night). I picked this approach up myself when I went to a hockey game a few months ago and one of the guys with us was eating the peanuts in the shell (and I had the same shocked reaction ... till I tried it myself). Your thoughts? Crunchy goodness or icky idea?"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

A lot of flashing lights and waving of glowing sabers, but in the end you end up with something dark and wrinkely. DPH# "-13" TSK# "-13" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_squared431 0 #4 July 22, 2010 I have tried that with a few different shelled nuts before and don't like it.

porpoishead 5 #10 July 22, 2010 there is also fried peanuts kris..they sell them around here or you can just deep fry some in the shells yourself. even more awesome than eating them with the shell roasted. fried they have the consistency of like a peanut butter sugar wafer...well without the sugar of course boiled though, I prefer to shell them...if you want a friend feed any animal Perry Farrell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 212 #11 July 22, 2010 Didn't care for the texture and didn't like thinking about what has handled the shells before they got to my hand.

skyrider 0 #15 July 22, 2010 odd idea, plus I doubt we can digest wood.. The shells actually help keep the concrete floors clean...many bars have free peanut day ,and ask that all shells go on the floor, when people walk over them, it scrubs the tiles!

NWFlyer 2 #16 July 22, 2010 Quote Didn't care for the texture and didn't like thinking about what has handled the shells before they got to my hand. I figure that the roasting process would kill any nasty stuff, and the peanuts came in a sealed bag ... so that wasn't really a worry."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Nutz 0 #21 July 22, 2010 I used to work with a guy that ate apples whole, core and all. He ate watermelon seeds and all. Half a watermelon was a serving size to him. Hmmmmm. Besides, if you are nice to him I bet you can get Peanut out of his shell. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiver30960 0 #23 July 22, 2010 Remember that it IS possible to get too much of a good thing. Fiber is good, but c'mon! We had a guy at work (I work in an ICU) that had a small bowel obstruction from eating too many apricots. He didn't eat the pits, and rumor was he did eat a LOT of apricots, but it just ended up being too much fiber for his body to move around at once and he ended up losing a few feet of his small intestine. Just food for thought... or for the other end, in this particular case... Elvisio "resection junction, what's your function?" Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zep 0 #24 July 22, 2010 I nearly always eat roasted peanuts shell on also I always eat shrimps whole which has led to some funny looks over the years. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieByTheSea 0 #25 July 22, 2010 Sometimes I de-shell them in my mouth, but definitely do not eat the shell. Does the shell have any nutritional value? Perhaps it just serves as a filler so one does not eat too many peanuts which is otherwise easy to do.
