   Review Peter Bailey – October 2, 2016 :

   I am literally objectively trying to once and for all find the best blister-fried, salted peanut. I have ordered and tried 8 different brands. I have ranked each nut on two separate on the following home-made, admittedly somewhat subjective scale:
   SIZE (1 =SMALL, 2 = AVERAGE, 3 = LARGE)
   CRUNCHINESS (HARDNESS) 1 = BELOW AVERAGE, 2= AVERAGE, 3 = EXTRA CRUNCHY
   TASTE (1 = BELOW AVERAGE, 2 = AVERAGE, 3 = ABOVE AVERAGE, 4 = SUPERIOR)
   SALTINESS (0 = INSUFFICIENT, 1 = OK, -2 = TOO SALTY),
   AFTER-TASTE -1= UNPLEASANT, 0 = MINIMAL, 1 = PLEASANT
   OTHER ATTRIBUTES (FOR ADDED SUBJECTIVE INPUT) POSITIVE = +1-2; NEGATIVE = -1-2
   I do give 0.5 points at times.
   So far there are some good ones, with HUBS & BERTIE COUNTY’S scoring the highest (11) and two others scoring within one point of 11. There are also some scoring pretty badly (in the 4 range), and these were particularly noteworthy for their burnt-oil after-taste.
   Nevertheless, I am still not satisfied as I believe there must be a better nut than what I have tasted so far (or maybe I am crazy and searching for the perfect nut). I was in love with the Virginia peanuts that Wegmans carried but I moved from Rochester NY (it would take a lot more than great peanuts, not to mention the awesome local Texas Hold’em “house” games) and no longer have access. The Wegmans’ nuts that I used may be a bit stale so perhaps their score of 10 should be better. Also, I have not considered cost which might be an issue for a long tern decision. Unlike scotch, where I enjoy mixing it up quite a bit, I can not see ever liking the seriously lower scoring nuts.
