Lima Beans

Nope. Has aluminum in it, not good, unless you want dementia.

Dementia - don't need that and does your research say a thing about aluminum foil causing dementia? My diet will really be a restricted diet if Aluminum foil is dementia contributor

If it was good enough for the Hanson brothers, it's good enough for me!

Putting on the foil!
Do it every game!
Want some?

Nope. You'll never walk alone.

Growing up I considered eating cooked vegetables to be a form of punishment and I just wouldn't.

^ Just about everything I used to make a fuss over eating when I was a kid, I've progressively come to love.

Most of the foods I would not eat as a child into mid teens, (including potato/mac salad, lasagna, fried fish etc etc etc), became my favorites as well...after I discovered college life...READ MARIJUANA...bwahahaha.

I came home one night slightly buzzed, and hungry, and saw this mac salad in the home fridge. I ate half the container and t'was all downhill from there!

Love the limas!

And the succotash! (As long as it isn't sufferin'!)

I'm making the Hurst bean mix in my slow cooker today. While Lima beans aren't on the top of my list, my dad loved Navy beans. When Vicki and I were dating, I got to eat at her house a couple times a week and as a rule that often meant Lima beans. Now because of my father, I always put vinegar in beans as that was one of the only condiments he had growing up in Montana. So of course I would ask for vinegar to be able to get those bloated mushy things
down. It really freaked out my future Mother-in-Law when Vicki started putting vinegar in beans too! As a rule, our beans of choice for 40 some years are either small red or black beans, with pinto and garbanzo coming in third and fourth. As a side note, my newest Manx cat loves the meatless beans I make, and always begs for them when he smells them cooking!

Cats are so unique in their personalities. We had one that would chew into a loaf of bread in seconds. Don't put it on the counter and turn your back! We had another one that would drill into a tomato or cantaloupe. Don't leave those out. I once gave him meat and cantaloupe side by side. He ate the cantaloupe first.

For goodness sake, give that cat some beans!

My chili never has beans.

 

[Stagefright]

Its getting a little too warm for beans around these parts, but they are a must from November through March. I experiment with salt cured meats from time to time and found that a cured pork loin makes for fantastic beans. No bone to deal with, less fat, and the loin itself is cheap ($1.68lb).

My Fathers family raised hogs and cured meats as far back as the civil war. I was too young when the operation folded (Government Regulations), but I regret not learning the art of meat preservation. Modern commercial pork is crap compared to the old school methods

 

[Opsimath]

My chili never has beans.

Mine has at least three cans, sometimes four, each can a different kind.

 

[dreadnut]

Real Texas chili has no beans.

Have we had this discussion before?

I just did with some canned cat food--he ate the beans first!

I'm on a liquid diet for the next few days.... Would you all please stop!!!!!!!!

R U Serious? Yes. Many times.....

Yes we have. They key issue is whether you believe in a food called chili that is not more properly called Texas Chili. By definition Texas Chili is beanless. But chili and chili con carne are two different dishes elsewhere and the former has beans but no meat and the latter adds meat to the former.

If we really have to discuss what words mean perhaps the private Facebook group exclusively for LTG members needs to be reenergized?

 

[Opsimath]

Beecee, cover your eyes. Food description to follow:

My vote is for chili con carne with lots of beans and lots of carne.

Toppings: raw onion, grated sharp cheddar, and sour cream.

With plenty of saltines and fresh cornbread.

 

[Guildedagain]

When do they call it chili when it's so hot?

 

[FNG]

This is Texas red chili.



I make Midwest chili, with lots of beans. I like beans.

 

[Opsimath]

Beans are good! In our frdge now is leftover chili (dark red kidney, black, and garbanzo) and leftover three bean salad (green - my least favorite, dark red kidney, and cannellini).

 

[dreadnut]

I love 3 bean salad, just don't like beans in my chili.

I'm thing a little chili-to-go drive through would be popular. Cup of chili, bag of chips, soft drink.

 

[gjmalcyon]

Made this a few times. It's really good. I go heavier on the ancho chilis and chipotle in adobo so it ends up darker and hotter than the recipe.

It's behind the Cooks Illustrated paywall but in the clear at KCET:
