I found some green peanuts at the Maku'u farmers market around the corner from my home. $5/lb or $9 for a #2 bag. I almost bit the bullet and bought a bag, except the vendor/farmer, a Filipino women insisted on lecturing me in pigin that there is no such thing as green peanuts, "Peanuts no green! Peanuts brown! Peanuts ALWAYS brown. No green peanuts... Why you say peanuts green? Peanuts never green. Peanuts always brown! You silly you think peanuts green, ha, ha, ha..."
I finally handed the bag back and said, "No thank you. If you want to sell peanuts at $4.50 a pound you need to work on your sales pitch."
Sometimes the South seems a million miles away...
