Do You Like Beans?

[Brown Eyes]

Do you love beans or hate them?  If you're a bean lover do you have a favorite type or a favorite recipe?

Also, here's a cool website with zillions of types of interesting beans.  Many more than are listed in this poll.

Hi forsythia!

Thanks for the suggestion!  I added refried beans to the list.  I also made it so that folks can edit their votes if they'd like based on this change.

B&M Baked Beans with onion. Green limas with lots of butter and salt.

My favourite, and the only canned baked beans I like are the ones in ham sauce.....baked beans on toast is a popular breakfast here in Australia. My hubby adds a couple of fried eggs as well.

And fresh green beans cut in slivers and slightly boiled with a pinch of carb soda to tenderize them, is my favourite also.

I like all of the beans you mentioned! So I had to randomly pick three.

I not only like the taste, but I like their nutrition and economic profiles, too. Beans are perhaps the cheapest source of good protein. And they contain more fiber than most protein foods.

Here's an interesting bean fact that I heard this morning on the Today Show. Apparently they're now selling fresh green garbanzo beans! They're in little pods, kind of like endamame, only rounder. They sounded yummy!

great northern beans, pressure cooked with garlic, some ground turkey, comino, salt, sugar, and onion.

BEANS ARE AWESOME!!!!!  LOVE 'EM ALL.  Well, most of them.

I never much cared for baked beans pre-BBM, but now I always keep a couple of the teeny-weeny little cans in the pantry. They're just the right size to have on toast for breakfast or for a baked bean sandwich for lunch (delicious hot or cold on oven fresh crispy crust bread). 

I also like green beans, lightly steamed and served with garlic butter.

And I always put kidney beans in with my chilli.

I really think Jack would have changed his mind about beans if he'd ever had a chance to try the Hickory Pit Beans from Fiorella's Jack Stack in Kansas City.  My Mom has even featured them on the table at Christmas dinner more than once.

Ennis and Jack could even order them via the Internet -- see http://www.jackstackbbq.com/category.asp?start=24&c=24&Hickory-Pit%20Beans=
