boiled peanuts
My wife is California born and bred. We moved to GA several years ago, and, the first time she tried boiled peanuts, she went ga-ga over them. Now, every time we pass a stand that advertises the things, she pulls over and buys some.
However, she made me promise NEVER to tell any of her family that she has fallen in love with one of the South's greatest treasures (besides me, of course
)!
I'm still trying to get her to eat fried okra, though.....
