how were peanuts used a long time ago?

Records show that peanuts were grown commercially in South Carolina around 1800 and used for oil, food and a substitute for cocoa. Peanuts were also used to feed pigs and were given to the poor. Peanuts orginally came from south AMerica but when the slaves came over from Africa they brought over peanuts.

I assume you mean a mediaeval chef, not a middle-aged one!  I assume also you mean "food" by "material".  Thick slices of bread were used as plates, called "trenchers".  Honey was used for sweetening, and many spices, which were expensive at the time, were used to flavour food - particularly in the case of meat that had gone off due to no refridgeration.  The rich would eat all types of meat and fish, many of which we would not consider today, like swan or peacock; the poor were left with vegetables.  There are many books you can read to discover the way people cooked and ate in mediaeval times.

They've been around for more than 30 years.  High schoolers were using them in the 1960s.  They are used wherever people think they can get away with it because people will use whatever advantage they can to get ahead.

Depends on the soil and what chemical process was used, but mostly plant nutrients. Very helpful website below.

Peanutbutter and Jelly

They probably add a something to the peanut butter that bonds to the oil, sucking it up, keeping it from seperating out. Specific type of flour would do it. When they mix the flour back into the peanut butter the oil won't separate out because its long chain fats are bound to the flour's starches.

The peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is a species in the pea family Fabaceae native to South America. It is an annual herbaceous plant growing to 30 to 50 cm (one to one and a half feet) tall.The leaves are alternate, pinnate with four leaflets (two opposite pairs; no terminal leaflet), each leaflet 1 to 7 cm (1/3 to 2.75 inches) long and 1 to 3 cm (1/3 to 1 inch) broad. The flowers are a typical peaflower in shape, 2 to 4 cm (3/4 to one and a half inches) across, yellow with reddish veining. After pollination, the fruit develops into a legume 3 to 7 cm (1 to 2 inches) long containing 2 to 3 (rarely 1 or 4) seeds, which forces its way underground to mature.\n\nAlthough a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the peanut is a woody, indehiscent legume or pod and not technically a nut.\n\nPeanuts are also known as earthnuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, pinders, manila nuts and monkey nuts (the last of these is often used to mean the entire pod, not just the seeds).\n\nthis information is found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Yes.\n\nPeople can spontaneously get and lose allergies.\n\nI all of a sudden became allergic to peanuts when I was about 13 or so. And then I lost the allergy a couple years later.

Most peditricians say wait till they are 2 years old.  \n\nLonger if there is a family history of peanut allergies.

Let s = pounds of Spanish peanuts.  Add this to 10 to get 10+s pounds of mixture.  Now find the price of each single type of peanut and the price of the mix by multiplying cost per pound times number of pounds:\n\n3.50 (10) + 3s = 3.40 (10+s)\n\nMultiply out:  35 + 3s = 34 + 3.4s\n\nSubtract 3s from both sides, and 34 from each side, to get:\n\n1 = .4s\n\nDivide both sides by .4 to get 2.5=s.\n\nSo you need 2.5 lb of Spanish peanuts.\n\nHopefully you can follow this logic and do the rest of your homework by yourself.

truthfully, this song originates from a kid by the name of Carl Brown, Jr. He picked up a peanut on the road one day and just started singing about it. He ended up eating it and it killed him. His father played it for him at the kids funeral and his uncle's brother in law who was head of a major record deal of childerens songs immedietly fell in love with the song.

Necessity is the mother of invention and early candles sometimes took rather bizarre forms to utilize available resources. The use of, and improvements to candles has parallelled mans ascent from the stone age. There is no historical record of the first candles used by man, however clay candle holders dating from the fourth century B.C. have been found in Egypt. Early Chinese and Japanese candles were made with wax derived from insects and seeds molded in paper tubes. Wax skimmed from boiling cinnamon was the basis of tapers for temple use in India. The first known candle in America dates to the first century A.D. Native Americans burned oily fish (candlefish) wedged into a forked stick. Early missionaries in the southwestern United States boiled the bark of the Cerio tree and skimmed the wax. Settlers in New England used the same technique to obtain wax from Bayberries. To this day Bayberry candles are made the same way, although cost is prohibitive since it takes one and a half quarts of Bayberries to make an 8 inch taper candle. Tallow, made by rendering animal fat was another common candle making material. Because of its odor, beeswax was preferred although more expensive. The advent of paraffin in the 1800's made tallow obsolete, and it is rarely used in candles anymore.
