It's too late to ask Dizzy Gillespie.

Going by Wikepedia, peanuts are not grown anywhere in Europe. Biggest 3 producers in order are China, India and US.

I bought Trader Joe's cashews (sniffle) yesterday. Where do peanuts sold in the UK grow? We grow them here in the US, and perhaps have a more efficient pipeline.

Hmm. My wife gets them at our local Trader Joe's. They have various size bags of salted, lightly salted, or unsalted.

Cashews (gesundheit!), too.

My teeth don't like peanuts any more but I liked the salted ones and never was fond of dry roasted ones.

I think the best though were the ones we called monkey nuts - just the peanuts in their shells. Can you still get them for human consumption anywhere?

Two peanuts were walking down the street, and one of them was a salted!

Until recently it was easy to buy a pack of salted peanuts. Now, manufacturers have decided to produce numerous foul flavoured, hard boiled, roasted and whatever, so it's necessary to sort through 28 different packs in our local Sainsbury's before finding my jumbo salted peanuts!!!
