Elderly man named Sleepy or something
Address:
Archer (or was it Jasper?), Florida, USA
Category: 1 pea: For nematodes only; a blight
Rating: 0 peas on 5-pea-pod scale
Price: $2 (?)
Serving: n/a (don't matter)
Verdict: I do respect my elders. They deserve it mostly. But this was especially awful. I don’t fault Sleepy (?) because I only understood every fourth word he said. He seemed friendly enough. And I felt bad making this man get up out of his chair; I thought it might the last time he ever walked. But I do fault him because he did say that he boiled his peanuts for a couple of hours. NOT GOOD ENOUGH SIR. If you want to support the cause, be polite and stop by. Give him a few bucks. But don’t eat those half-stewed legumes. Undercooked. Tiny fragments. Awful tastin’. I didn’t. Even. Finish. The bag.
Notes: Had read about him in the Gainesville Sun. They obviously wrote a human interest story, not a boiled-peanuts interest story.
Proprietor: Sleepy
Season: n/a (don't hold your breath)
Tasted on: 2002 (circa)
Soak time: n/a (doubtful)
Boil time: 2 hours
Other: This man has a machete. I would say be careful, but I’m not sure he can lift it over his head.
