Green peanuts boiled in salty brine, sometimes with Cajun spice or garlic. Sold by the bag at roadside stands all summer; an official state snack of South Carolina since 2006.
Boiled peanuts have been a Southern snack since the late 1800s, when farmers boiled green peanuts to use up excess crop on the farm. South Carolina formally adopted them as the official state snack in 2006. The Gaffney-to-Greenville drive in summer is dotted with roadside peanut shacks selling fresh bags hot from the boiler all day.
