Well I have never heard of pindas or goobers - very odd words to discribe nuts Like the ozzies - chooks are chickens ... or something like that. And we all know how odd the ozzies are.

John Doe, you don't forget anything do you? You tryin' to get this thread shut down?
Purps, I'm sorry that I set up such a powerful craving.
LouBelle, I hope we get to meet one day.
To the rest of you, happy munching.

"Pinda" is the Dutch word for "peanut." Were there many Dutch or Low German settlers in the Southern U.S.?
Loubelle, don't you eat "pindakaas" in South Africa? Or is the Afrikaans word for "peanut butter" quite different from the Dutch?

None too many.
I believe the word was picked up from Dutch slave traders.
