Seems We Have Been Eating Groundnut Soup The Wrong Way In Africa

As an African, this is shocking 

The X post by Chudé showcases a recipe for Cajun-style boiled peanuts, a Southern delicacy that involves soaking raw peanuts overnight, then boiling them with a variety of spices including Old Bay seasoning, crushed red pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, which is not a common preparation method in many African contexts where peanuts are typically roasted or used in stews.

This method of preparing peanuts, as seen in the video, transforms them into a soft, bean-like texture with a spicy kick, differing significantly from the crunchy, roasted peanuts familiar in African cuisine, potentially surprising those accustomed to the latter.

The reaction from African users, such as "As an African, this is shocked!," highlights a cultural gap in food preparation and consumption, where boiled peanuts are a novelty or even seen as unusual, despite peanuts being a staple crop in many African regions.
