Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire They're BACK, Beans and Rice that is

I left out a batch of lentil soup! That stuff was great!

I'm not a bean eater in a big sort of way, just when the wife fixes something with them in it.

For whatever reason, I got one hell of a laugh out of that one Jim.

Still chuckling as I type this.

I'm not ashamed, sometimes dice some green chili in it.

Sssshhhh,

don't tell anyone,

it was my go to for years.

Geno

Y'all may or may not already know this. But you can knock the gas content down on beans by rinsing them thoroughly after they've been soaked.

I’ve heard that about soaking and rinsing. Can’t say that I soak at all anymore though.

The cannellini beans were canned though. Dvd had posted a great looking dish with them or something similar and I had a few cans in the pantry.

What’s y’all’s favorite bean? Least favorite?

I likes em all.


Probably eat the most Great Norther and Kidney.


I like limas and pintos.

Depends on the dish. Pinto's are pretty good.

Plain 'ol pinto.

I normally just buy canned. IMO the brand makes more of a difference than the variety. On lots of stuff, Great Value (Walmart) is as good as other brands that cost more. Not on most beans though. Bush's is much better if you're going canned.

None are "favorite", but I seem to like black beans the "best" for what that's worth.

Fugg a buncha Lima Beans. I hate having to pick them out when I find them in minestrone. Dad forced me to eat them once when younger (second grade maybe?) , when mom was in the hospital having my little bro. Went back to school and blew chunks all over the playground. Have hardly been able to look at them since. Fugg a bunch Lima beans.

The rest are edible, never took a liking to the texture of any though. They're just grub and suitable when one is hungry.


Oh, did I mention.............Fugg a buncha Lima beans.

High roller.......

Ok, canned it has to be ranch beans, the jalapeno preferably, throw a ribeye steak on the plate and smear it in the juice.

Can't stand those sugary beans of any kind.

Kent

I have no idea how to make cornbread, too busy playing horseshoes and aimless whittling.

beans and jowl

Pinto no. 1, northern white (navy) is a distant second. lima, kidney, and all that other crap is at the end.

Anasazi might be good haven't tried those, seem like a pinto....

I can trailer trash it with the best of them... tuna gravy over rice is a staple here... couple cheap cans of tuna, a can of mushroom soup, make the gravy with the oil in the cans and a pat of butter, add the soup and tuna, spoon over a plate of rice.

Kent

canned beans are for hunting trips. or survival.

He say to the guy that grew up with tuna noodle casserole, hamburg in brown gravy on rice, and pasta up the yinyang.

Beans in our house were canned, "pork and beans" and sometimes "Boston baked". Usually served with burgers and dogs when we had them. I ate them because they were on the plate and it would not be pleasant if I left them.

Geno

We et the beans because we already ate all the beef and we was still hungry.



I wont abandon them now. They got us through.



Dance with the one that brung ya!

They are all good! I cook them all the same in the crock pot. After soaking and rinsing, they get a dollop of garlic and onions, and after a few hours they are gtg!
