grasshopper Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 the astrologists will tell you that there are 5 planets in retrograde... and discourse will result. No, I am not into that stuff. But, that is what they will say. How do I know this? I have friends that are. I'm not a CTer, either... but know it all the way to the Illuminati being lizard aliens. I have friends that are. A month into our "rainy season" and it might get started... 70% chance of rain tomorrow. I expect it will be too humid to rain. All cloud and no action. trying to keep my post light... pretty bummed at the prospect of the Lounge being shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last time, we were not joking about black beans. We were not joking about other bean varieties either. It was an honest discussion of food. Or was your motivation different, Carl?

JohnJ Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Miami Subs down in FL did make a side of them that I could eat... there were lots of ingredients in their black beans!! Oh, and Andouille sausage with those red beans... Wow, very good with creole or etouffee!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a ton of other flavors compared to great northern or pintos to make them enjoyable. (Once you get west of ole man river, the bean of choice moves from the red to the pinto, and it's delightful earthy flavor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threat is always there when you respond to one of my jokes. You can always start a thread titled "Black beans vs Great White Northerns". For those that don't get or appreciate my humor, let me be clear, the above was a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We typically buy canned refried beans for tacos and burritos. Lately we've been buying refried black beans. I actually prefer them over what we've gotten in the past.

We do lots of blackeyes here too, but we call them peas. Field peas can be done the same way and hold their texture better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yep they are peas but peas and beans except for the string beans are the same thing to me. I over-simplify a lot I guess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point of information: They are called great northern whites, not the great white northern, which sounds a lot more like Canada.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
