To a southerner a boiled peanut taste like a boiled peanut, but for those that have never experienced this southern treat typically compare it to a lima bean or a pinto bean. Peanuts are not actually a nut. They are a legume and when boiled they have a bean like flavor and softer texture. It's a completely different experience than crunchy dry roasted peanuts.

The origins of the boiled peanut go back to West Africa where "ground nuts" were boiled. Mostly enjoyed as a snack or appetizer in the Southeast, you can find "goober peas" at roadside stands, stadiums, convenient stores and restaurants. It's also a popular snack in Hawaii.
