Talk:Beer Nuts

message: I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Australia the term "beer nuts" refer to peanuts served with the brown peanut 'husks' still on them, generally salted.  I don't know the technical terms, but by 'husks' I mean the thin brown fibrousy cover around each individual peanut (not the big seedpods which I don't think you can eat with usually 2-3 nuts in them).  I'd never heard of the brand "BEER NUTS" until seeing this article.  In Australia you can often buy beer nuts over the counter at a pub, they might even be served free, or you can buy them at grocery stores.  Common brands for beer nuts in Australia include "Nobby's" and generic brands.  These beer nuts are not glazed with a sugary coating and are typically just peanuts + salt + some vegetable oil.  Perhaps this article should be changed to accommodate the above? RevJohn 13:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can verify this. I can remember dads getting beer nuts as Christmas presents since I was a kid. Recently I was regularly buying a generic brand from one of the Australian supermarket chains. Now I am in Mexico and they have the same thing but call them "cacahuates estilo español", which means "Spanish style peanuts". Like the Australian ones they have just the husk but lack the sweetener or flavouring of the American trademarked items. The most commen brand here seems to be "Golden Nuts". — Hippietrail 00:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Those are called Spanish peanuts in America, too. Note the Simpsons episode where Burns has Smithers give him one. There's also a red-dyed candy by the same name due to its resemblance.
I agree with RevJohn. This article has a distinctly American flavour. 203.9.151.254 (talk) 00:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
