I had never heard of – let alone eaten – a boiled peanut before last night, and…kind of lost my mind over them. A woman sitting in the row ahead of us generously passed us back beers and a few boiled peanuts (which squirt salted water at you that simply must be licked off the fingers as sloppily as possible), and I immediately tasked Kendrick with finding us our own basket of the things. I will also be making them frequently upon my return to New York.

BOILED PEANUTS (recipe via the guy sitting in front of us at the concert)

What you do:

1. Rinse unshelled peanuts in water.

2. Place water, salt, and peanuts in a large pot. Bring to a boil and cover.
