Salted and roasted - they're lovely!

Did you know that peanuts grow underground - bit like potatoes?  Indeed, they used to be called groundnuts, and if you're old and decrepit like me you may remember the "groundnut scandal" when shortly after the war our government invested a lot of money in a scheme to grow groundnuts in Tanganyika (what is now Tanzania) completely overlooking the fact that the climate there was fundamentally unsuitable, and that there would be massive problems in preparing the ground for planting.  In the end they abandoned the project with a loss of some £48m (well over a billion in today's money).  And by the way, they're not nuts, they're legumes - more akin to beans and pulses.
