I want to drive out to bumfuck nowhere and buy watermelon or boiled peanuts or smth from some random farmer on the side of the road.

@wallhackio you boil em in the shell with spices n stuff and then you pop them out of the shell and eat them

@wallhackio the base is just saltwater but a lot of people add hot peppers or cajun seasoning

@wallhackio they're honestly really good even just salted (they don't actually taste that salty tbh but they take on kind of a different flavor from the shell that's hard to describe) and it's fun to sit outside with a cold drink and pop them open

I hadn't had them until living in the southern US but highly recommend, they're actually pretty healthy too as far as southern food goes since iirc they absorb a bunch of nutrients from the shell when they get boiled

@wallhackio unfortunately they take forever to make LMFAO like 8+ hours
