Boiling Nuts

I know that peanuts can be boiled. My wife usually boils peanuts in their shells then lets them dry before we eat them.
My question is this, can other nut varieties such as walnuts or cashews also be boiled as well?

I expect peanuts are a special case as they aren't actually nuts...

and then I Googled and most nuts aren't actually nuts. but peanuts are still special case legumes.... I don't know of any, but I didn't know of boiled peanuts till not long ago.
