I also love chili and split pea soup. Minestrone--yum. And I will eat chickpeas right out of the can!

I've plans to roast a small ham, this week, and then follow that up with a nice pot of Navy Bean soup.

A doctored version of Emeril Lagasse's recipe...


The only bean I've found I just can't handle is Lima Beans. Yuck.

I will gladly take your Lima Bean portion. I love, love 💕, love them. Floyd, I could eat your Navy Bean Soup every day. You may now call me Polly Bean.

Love a good pot of bean soup!

Perish the thought!

I use white cannelloni beans for chili. Red kidney beans seem “tough" to me.

I'm no expert on kidney beans, but some are a deep red in color while others are more pale. I suspect the ones that are more deep red have a different starch content as they seem to be the choice for when you want a more firm bean like chili con carne, although some consider it sacrilege to include them.

As far as red beans and rice go, the ones that are pale are the ones you want to use. Some people swear by Camellia brand, which is what I use.

Happy New Year!

Had this at the Mountain People's Restaurant & Co-op in Morgantown, WV. They got the recipe from an African magazine, IIRC.

I started cooking my beans the moment I woke up. By 9:00 AM I had everything prepped and ready for the slow cooker. I love beans.

Let's sing a song of beans ...

Onion, celery, parsley, salt, pepper, oil & vinegar. I could live on this!

Yum!

Who invented them... Hallmark so they can sell more cards??
Speaking of beans can we have a "National Debris left after flatulation" day?

I'm surprised anybody read's em...

Many of us love our National days. Gives us a chance to talk about “stuff” other than the Idiots ramblings. Christmas is over, don’t be so cranky.

getting up there in age and don't remember what bull i've slung before. The easy thing to do would be to block me as I "might" do it again!!!
Wait, what?

and soups.

And I love black bean soup.

The original version inicludes pork; I've had it with wheat gluten (not an option for everybody) but other vegetarian and vegan recipes abound. Spicy and savory !

With massive amounts of garlic.

Ah, cubano.

...a little butter and sea salt.

trump never had a garbanzo bean on his head.

....but "gas" relief...naturally, to the detriment of others.

had some at a lunar new year party. Delicious!

But around New Year's in Japan they make Anko (Red Sweet-bean) steamed buns that are pretty tasty.

The jellies, ice cream and rice cake are too cloying for me tho

though I did have some beans! pintos with bacon or a ham bone are the staple around here, but I will eat any but kidneys or limas. (I will eat those too, but won't choose them on purpose)

I'm soaking some beans overnight and then making traditional baked beans tomorrow, for the first time. Using a recipe from a 1930s Metropolitan Life Insurance recipe pamphlet.

beans, mustard, molasses, and pork. Slow-baked. I hope it is the bean recipe I wanted. If nit, it'll still be good

but some are more favored than others

I grew up on Great Northern beans with cornbread, and my grandmother's green tomato ketchup on the side. In summer we would have cucumbers from the garden in vinegar and sliced tomatoes. Sweet tea, of course.

Really good red beans and rice - food of the gods.

I survived a hitch in the Navy. National Bean Day aint shit.

They are big in Italian cooking. One of my favorite go to dishes is Pasta e fagioli. I like other beans as well, especially in soup.

Pasta e fagioli:

Hands down

Any kind of bean, except limas for me.

I love making Italian sausage with cannellini beans, garlic and escarole.
