Thanks for the head's-up. If I'm ever out that way, I'll seek them out (although goddess knows what I'll chew with, anymore). I'll reserve judgement on altering my statement until then.
Yeah, I'd advise reserving judgement on that one... I've only tried this particular "delight" once, but I found it almost uneatable. And I *like* peanuts.
(I could, however, be easily persuaded to smuggle peanut patties out of New Mexico in exchange for suitable quantities of fanfic. :))
Betty Ragan on peanut patties:

<g> I don't doubt that one may have to acquire the taste in childhood, but they're quite popular with my family (all from Texas except me); and they're the only candy other than chocolates that I can be bothered to eat.
OTOH, maybe you just didn't get a good brand. The few I've tried of NM manufacture were hard and brittle and painful to chew, where TX ones are soft and sugary. If you smash them into pieces (like peanut brittle) they'll pretty much melt in your mouth.
Now, what kinds of snacks would our heroes like? I've got Avon and Dayna both pegged as the crunchy, salty type, maybe pretzels or party mix for Avon and crisps or pork rinds for Dayna? And Jenna has a thing for fruit pies, which she eats cold with her fingers, when nobody's looking - also every variety of cheese. Servalan eats fresh fruit dipped in chocolate and decorated with candied violets and real gold by her personal chef, served on priceless antique china. She absolutely refuses to acknowledge Jarriere on the other side of the table, contentedly eating batter-fried Snowballs.

1. I think that Servalan's the one eating the batter-fried snowballs while Jarriere eats Godiva chocolates--he knows that she'll have him killed if he ever mentions it. 2. I think Blake likes caramels and boiled sweets, although Avon is too tactful to give him mint humbugs 3. I'm on record that Aurons don't like sweets, Cally's favorite snack is umeboshi plums 4. Ditto that Avon's favorite food is chips, but he doesn't want anyone to know about the HP Sauce, although: VILA: What happened to all the sweets? There were cartonsfull... AVON: Tested to destruction. *I'm* a trained scientist, *you* would just have made yourself sick.

I *love* this. Started what-passes-for-my-mind on conjugating b7 'irregular verbs':
AVON to GAN: I am a political realist. You are naive. He is a dangerous fanatic.
or: AVON to BLAKE: I am scientifically-trained. You are less-than-rigorous.
VILA, passing: What'm I then, scotch mist?
AVON, haughtily: He is an escaped lab rat.
I could probably think of more filthy ones if pushed, but not on this list.
