The mystery of which came first will finally be revealed, ( The Peanut or the Goober)?  The rise of  Georgia’s prominence in peanut production is attributed to a botanist in Alabama.  Would you like to know how many uses there are for peanuts.  The answers await in episode 26 of Cornbread & Buttermilk’s, southern culinary stories.  Join in the discussion, who do you think has the biggest peanuts, Georgia or Virginia?  Cornbread would like to hear your Coca-Cola/Peanut stories too.  Have you ever got tickled and sneezed a mouth full of Coca-Cola while on a date?  We hope we answer some of the questions our listens have about the origin of this well traveled crop.  Like Coca-Cola the peanut has a welcoming home in the state of Georgia.  For Cornbread they will always be linked to memories of a simpler time, when the local grocery store owner was also your neighbor.
