I have always loved beans, especially dried. When I was a kid my mom cooked dry beans a lot!!!! and I remember the odor well. In my hunting camps I always had a gallon can of beans hanging on the outside fire pole every day and added enough to make up what was taken out by the hunters.

Sure sounds good but I would have to figure out how to make it in batches that are appropriate for home use rather than these huge batches intended for feeding a gaggle of school kids.colorado clyde said:

You are assuming that school kids would actually eat beans. I've seen them, if it isn't deep-fried, it isn't food....Billnpatti said:

Just scale it down, adapt and improvise. I seldom follow a recipe to the letter, food just isn't that consistent, (but there are rules to follow)..I judge the taste, look, consistency etc....That's what cooking is all about.

Slightly off topic but relevant...
I try to grow and cook as much food as possible....Why you might as?...Because it enriches my life...Literally and figuratively.
To put it into perspective...I would have to work 8 hours a day 40 hours a week for 8 weeks to pay for a years worth of food...Add in my favorite beverages and those numbers easily double.
For additional perspective, beans are cheap....Each meal of beans add time to your vacation calendar or money to your savings...
Knowing how to cook makes it a pleasurable experience.

I used to have a big garden and kept poultry. Flour and cornmeal milk and my tobasco sauce was about all I bought. And some beef and pork and some cheese.
However I was single and only worked part time. It takes some time to put up a years worth of food. 8x5x8= 320 hours. And between march and October I bet I spent a lot more time in food production. It is a labor of love. Come-mid winter open home canned chicken soup add your own dumplings or noddles can't beat it.
Life is short take your pleasures where you can find them

It might scare some people but I like to use peanut butter in soups. Peanuts are not "NUTS", their legumes, love it in tomato soup, nice and creamy.

YEP. And a nearly perfect (cheap to prepare) meal from a nutritional standpoint AND tasty too.
Fwiw, I've never had difficulty getting Boy Scouts & Cubs to eat my "bean-hole beans". - If anything, the kids are TOO FOND of them; feeding lots of beans to campers keeps the skunks out of camp.
(My "original recipe" Congressional Bean Soup, served with pones of cornbread is VERY popular with everyone on Winter camping trips.)
yours, satx

When I was a kid, we'd eat white beans, dried of course. I remember my mother putting the dried beans in a pan so she could pick out the tiny rocks that sometimes came with them. The rocks would sink to the bottom faster than the beans, I guess.
We didn't eat pintos back then. I like all dried beans, not one I don't care for. My local produce store has fresh peas (what I'd call field peas) and they're delicious.
All bean dishes need to be cooked with a goodly portion of side meat.
I may have mentioned this before, but when I was a kid in the N GA hills, you see people drying strings of green beans on string on the porches. They called them leather britches. This was before as many people canned. They had a distinct taste. We always canned ours.

It doesn't scare me, but I have developed a sensitivity to peanuts in my old age. i used to eat them and peanut butter all the time as a kid. If I encounter them in a soup etc. I am guaranteed to be sick within an hour or two.
If you use peanuts in a food which normally would not include them, please advise folks who would not know that they are in there. My situation is uncomfortable, but probably not a fatal issue, for some folks it could be.
Other legumes and tree nuts don't bother me. Go figure.

Bush's beans? :youcrazy:
You guys never heard of B&M Boston Baked beans from Maine? Grown and cooked there along with the Brown bread.
Nor State of Maine beans canned old recipe solider beans, Jacob's cattle beans? Yum to die for!

About the best flavored bean I have grown/eaten, was some yellow tepary beans I got seeds for. It grows, and sets beans in really hot weather, when the regular beans won't. It grows fast and puts on a lot of dry beans, but cannot be eaten as green beans. Teparys were/are grown by just a few tribes in the desert southwest, but several more varieties are grown in Mexico. I've only eaten black, white, and yellow ones from here in AZ, but of them, and of all the other beans I've eaten, I prefer the yellow ones.
Tepary beans are available commercially, but are pretty pricey for beans, somewhere around $5/lb online. They are higher in protein than regular beans. They most likely would have been eaten by various Mountain Men traveling along the Gila and Lower Colorado Rivers.
