Cajun food is great. Basically, southern food in general is good. You can't get boiled peanuts up north. Besides food? Not really.

    I mean.. Dave Anderson's Old Southern BBQ is called southern... Won some awards.

    To be fair, I have only had BBQ in Texas and Memphis, so grain of salt.

    Else you have black market st. Paul - wouldn't call it "southern" when it's -10 degrees and they are smoking up some pork, but damn good smoked BBQ.

    Do you know how easy it is making boiled peanuts?

    Its literally just peanuts boiled in salty water forever

    Super easy in a slowcooker or even a regular pot

    You can have them whenever and wherever you want

    Note: the above is talking about raw peanuts, which are very hard to find up north. Doing this to a bag of roasted peanuts will make you very sad.

    Ok fair point. Raw peanuts arent too hard to find here down south. There is a farmers market grocery store by me that i can get them delivered from

    I did try it with roasted peanuts the first time and like... it technically worked but raw peanuts turn out way better

    Eh Maryland, and Baltimore in particular has everything from grits to chowders. If you're thinking about a crawfish boil/stew/gumbo, they have those too, and the superior crab version.

    I agree the crab is better, but not the Cajun food. I've lived in Alabama and NoVA and there's a large difference. I've also lived in southern VA and SC, and they're all different. Each have benefits, but real Cajun is special.
