Boiled Peanuts Goobers Recipe

• 200 minutes to make

Goobers are supposed to be the exclusive property of the, so called, Deep South; South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, northern Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. Read more Ain’t so. Mundubbera is a typical, rough as guts, Aussie outback farming community in Queensland: a long way from anywhere. I love Aussie; I even love towns like Mundubbera. The publicans think every piece of meat that ever came off a beast should be cooked at least 1 hour and 10 minutes, but no one’s perfect. Places like Mundubbera have a lot of flavor.

Don’t reckon you can buy these readymade, unless you live in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, northern Florida, Alabama, Mississippi or Mundubbera but here’s how to make them.
