Do you eat the peanut shells?

I just assume everyone in this thread answering with yes is trying to gaslight me into believing this is actually a thing.
I eat my Twix with the wrapper still on and insert the entire unopened box of suppositories up my human butt.
I had no idea boiled peanuts was a thing until last year when there was a thread about it at the former place. I live outside Chicago, so boiled peanuts isn't a thing up here. Thankfully, my brother lives in Georgia, so when I went down to visit him I demanded we get boiled peanuts.
Wowzers, they're good!
Having said that, we still didn't eat the shells. Boiled or roasted, eating the shells is not a thing I thought anyone did.

I would like to try the taste of walnut shells, but considering how hard those are I suppose you would need to grind them to a flour first.
The best way to eat any shelled nut/seed is to soak it for a while and then roast it, that way the shells are easier to eat.
(i.e. like the shells of pumpkin seeds & butternut squash seed...ect)
Edit; The Bannana peel & Lemon peel thing just threw me waaaaay off, wtf is that about? O_o

I'm pretty sure that's because you will have to touch the shell, which salts your fingers, and then you pick up the peanuts with your now salted fingers so that the peanuts get salted
Does anyone eat burnt popcorn kernals? They're actually quite good, believe it or not, but maybe I'm the only one who feels this way.
Absolutely eat the shells from time to time (especially if they're salted), generally less than not eating them, though.
If I really had to I would if I had nothing else to eat and I was starving. But eating the shells is bad for your digestion since your body cannot process them properly.
A better idea is to use them as compost. I know people that don't waste their peels by tossing them, but using them as fertilizer. They are biodegradable. Animals don't even eat the shells. Birds store them in their throats to either burry them for later, or take them to a safe place to eat. They then peck out the nuts/seeds from their shells. I owned a budgie and it wouldn't eat the thin shells. Rodents don't either.
This is my stance, and even then I only eat a few of the boiled ones. Way too fibrous to eat in quantity
As someone else mentioned, shrimp tails are quite edible. And, if you eat an apple vertically, the core isn't even noticeable.
I had a teacher when I was in 4th grade who ate the shells. Mrs. Stalteri. She was a young teacher, and was so cool and important to me. I wanted to enjoy the whole peanut, assuming she knew something that I didn't, but it didn't take.
Anyway, she moved away the next year, to Pennsylvania. I assume that she still eats the shells.
