I love peanuts and jalapeno's.... Just not crab.. and never had a boiled peanut... The Crab boil keeps making me think it tastes fishy... If I ever see the stuff around here, I may try it, just out of total curiousity...... Thanks Mike for going the extra mile explaining that to me Weezie * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
