I didn't know they are the same as butter beans. Butter beans sound wonderful, and duck.ai images look bright and appetising. I am not fooled. These were one of the horrors of my childhood, worse even than their close relative the green bean. They were a school cafeteria staple, but I haven't seen them in years. Of course, I haven't looked for them either. They might be in those cans I always walk past with a shudder.
Maybe they're fine if they haven't been soaked in water and stored on a shelf for two months. Fresh vegetables are better...
But I am not going to find out. They were called wax beans for good reason.
Lima beans I find pasty, but butter beans can be pretty good, especially fresh from my grandmother's garden.
ReplyDeleteBack in my 70s restaurant days we used to make a 3 bean salad for the salad bar that was awful. Canned wax beans, canned green beans, canned kidney beans in vinaigrette. Easy, cheap, and people ate it. I hated it.
ReplyDeleteTex, my parents and their parents didn't grow limas/butterbeans often.
I remember 3-bean salad. It was a big deal, but I never touched it. Thank you for letting me know it was vinaigrette.
