What sort of ingredients does it have?

Besides beans, that is!

3. I have a recipe for Calico beans or 9 bean soup

The Calico bean dish is more like a cassarole

The 9 bean soup mix contains
barley
red beans
pinto beans
lentils
black-eyed peas
black beans
navy pea beans
great Northern beans
split green peas

4. That's funny. ALF is craving calico pie.

you remember, from that old TV show, ALF the alien (who looked a great deal like a puppet :-) ) would always be chasing the family cat around? :-)

Please tell me calico bean soup is made with three different colors of beans, not fur... :scared:
