Similar to the tamale lady, boiled peanuts are best purchased from the elderly or a fat kid at a minivan in a parking lot. They come in a styrofoam cup or a ziplock. I like them partially frozen, the brine makes them crunchy.

Picture of delicious boiled peanut. Peanuts are on the half shell and are moist and purple.

Kind of nutty but more like a chickpea/garbonzo than peanut. Very salty, a common variety is cajun. Texture is somewhere between water chestnut and a firm Lima bean depending on how long they've been boiled. I prefer them on the firmer side.
