@Coloma I thought I was the only other person who loves that bean salad! I can eat bean and cheese burritos until the cows come home, there have been weeks where I have eaten one every day, but I have to mix it up and get them from different places and use different salsas. There’s enough places around town that provide lard free vegetarian pinto beans, so that’s good news. Trader Joe’s has delicious vegetarian baked beans and I have a couple of recipes that I haven’t yet tried. Going to bust out that crock pot soon, though.
@Adirondackwannabe I don’t think we have those stores out here in California, but if I’m ever in your neck of the woods I shall venture in : )
I’m not thrilled with lima beans, although I have had them in some dishes, an Indian curry as I recall where they were OK. On the other hand, I love butter beans, which are the ripe mature version of lima beans. Not that thrilled with black eyed peas either, but again, I’ve had them in Indian food and they were fine. Other than that, I love pretty much all the beans I’ve tasted.
I had Campbell’s Golden Lentil with Madras Curry soup the other day. I don’t know if they’re still making it or it may be discontinued, because I got it at the 99 Cent store. Glad I bought two containers of it. It was as good or better than most of the lentil dals I’ve had in Indian restaurants!
