bjprowlerAnybody except us "good ol' boys" from the South know what a "goober pea" is?


….Don't answer if you have to look it up.....

alrtgThe only reference I can think of was something I recall from the sixties and seventies. Goobers and Rasinettes.


I had a box of Goobers just recently....Yum!

I am just glad you were not asking about Mountain Oysters.

bjprowlerYou're getting very warm!
TucsonJerMy dad used to call peanuts, “goobers”.Jer
StrokerI remember when Hostess Bakery sold Ding-Dongs north of the Ohio river and sold King-Dons in the south.
I'm thinking goober peas resemble garbonza beans or black eyed peas.
I am a misplaced Hoosier so I don't know much.
padrooHow about boiled peanuts.
bjprowlerGoober Peas are simply "Peanuts".....Congrats to those who knew!

Confederate Soldiers used to sing a "campfire" song about "Goober Peas" more than 150 years ago.


"Goober Peas" is a popular folk song sung by the confederate soldiers in the civil war. It's such a popular song that it's still sung today in the southern United States.


The lyrics of "Goober Peas" are a description of daily life during the last few years of the Civil War for Southerners. After being cut off from the rail lines and their farm land, they had little to eat aside from boiled peanuts (or "goober peas") which often served as an emergency ration. Peanuts were also known as pindars and goobers.


This version (with lyrics) is sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Burl Ives and Johnny Cash sung about them too:
