What is the different between Butter Beans and Lima Beans?

[Obi-Wan Cannoli]

I think my aversion to lima beans stems from the fact that I see them often in salad bars. I generally do not eat salad as that's what food eats. :idunno:

Well I like to cook them with ham onion pepper and garlic. Serve them in a bowl. Next day pour off extra liquid and fry. Now I only eat about half a loaf of bread per year, mostly at the holidays, how ever served these fried beans on Jewish rye bread lightly toasted with a thick slice of red onion...umm

Tenngun, I'm with you! I love butter beans cooked German style with fresh pig hocks, onion, garlic salt and pepper. Complimented with some cast iron skillet corn bread and a big mug of frosty beer! If that doesn't get your motor going, something is wrong with your pooter!

If we wind up at the same table, you guys won't have to fight me for them...I'll give you my share. :haha:

I think they are the only bean I don't like...... :hmm:

 

[Obi-Wan Cannoli]

I hate green beans and peas the most. I love beans in general.

 

[coloradoclyde]

I take a chair with me to the garden to eat peas.. :grin:

 

[Obi-Wan Cannoli]

The only time I ate green beans was in a green bean casserole at a Christmas dinner at my friend's in-laws house, and it was to be nice. My friend new that I would rather eat live skunk than green beans and kept offering me seconds...and thirds...and :grin: while inside :cursing:

Green bean casserole....That's an American classic, but sadly a 20th century dish. Man are you making me hungry. :haha:

 

[tenngun]

Don't much care for green beans or garden peas, although I love pea soup. However fry green beans with bacon, or boil with bacon and you got a good dish.
Frying pans and bacon can improve most foods

That did remind me of one use of green beans that I kind of enjoy: ham bone soup :grin:
