Looks pretty good, except for the eggs part. The newest craze it seems, is putting "Cackle Berries" on everything including the American hamburger.

As for chili, I like about all variations and HOPEFULLY WITH BEANS! To each their own and many chili contests are won with recipes that include beans.

I always have chili with beans, but I do it in a different way. I think cooking the beans in the chili messes with the flavor, so I cook them separately. Any time I make a batch of chili I also make a batch of pinto beans seasoned just as though I were going to eat them as beans. Beans without their liquor go in the bowl, then the chili to cover.

Besides being mighty tasty, it makes the chili go a lot further.

How about bean soup, bean salad, baked beans, refried beans, Red beans and rice, or Succotash?....Then we can venture into other legumes like hummus made from chickpeas or miso soup and tofu....
And that doesn't even consider green bean dishes....

The list is almost endless.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legume_dishes

Oh!....And let's not forget sprouts....

Yankee conspiracy!

Bush Brothers & Company is a family-owned corporation best known for its Bush's Best brand canned baked beans. The company produces approximately 80 percent of the canned baked beans consumed in the United States, representing estimated annual sales in excess of $400 million and the processing of more than 55 million pounds of beans per year. In addition, the company also offers other canned beans (black, garbanzo, pinto, and refried), as well as peas, hominy, and cut green beans. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, Bush Brothers operates plants in Augusta, Wisconsin and Chestnut Hill, Tennessee. Its canned goods are sold through retail food outlets and food service operators throughout the United States and Canada

NOPE It's a conspiracy to market the beans to Yankees. :wink:

I don't care much for lentils and black eyed peas. Otherwise I love beans mostly any way I can get them, plain white with salt pork onion and pepper, complex southwestern, red beans and rice, Caribbean black beans and rice.
And at the risk of suffering the lowest pits of hell I got to say my wife demands beans in her chilli and I don't object.
I'm in afraid some day will find me standing in front of a group of faceless lost souls saying "Hi my name is Jeffrey and I put beans in my chilli, and as God as my witness I've been known to put it on macaroni " :redface: :haha:
 
When it comes to using beans, I think most people are ignorant as to what to do with them....This leaves one's culinary options quite limited....

Even worse is the fear to try something new... :shake:
 
Around here, in rural AZ, if you say beans, it is automatically assumed you mean pinto beans. If you don't mean pinto beans, you need to say what kind of beans you are talking about. Green beans or string beans, could also be pintos, but at a different stage of growth. A can of beans could be kidney beans or navy beans, but if you are talking about dry beans, and you want to tell someone about eating beans, you don't have to ever say I ate a bunch of pinto beans.

Pinto beans have always been available in local grocery stores in 50 lb. bags, but that was the only such bean until very recently when the hispanic stores started carrying a few bags of black and peruano beans.

Health food stores, thanks to vegetarians, now carry a lot of different beans that have never been available in regular grocery stores. Adzuki beans, for instance, and a whole bunch of different varieties of lentils and soybeans.

I like to try them all, to see what they taste like, but fall back on pintos as the bean my family most often ate when I was growing up. They were always served on roundup and in steakhouses, and were the favored method for getting through times when cattle prices were down, in the days prior to food stamps. Pinto beans were used as poker chips, in a few famous instances where one bean represented one cow and whole herds were lost or won over a night of playing cards. I know it's different in different regions of the country, but around here pintos are far and away the king of beans.
 
A few times per year, generally in colder weather, I will cook up a huge kettle of beans. Sometimes, ham and bean soup, sometimes black beans with sausage and rice. Or a just beans with a little onion and some Seasoned salt and tomatoes.

Mrs. will not eat beans, but she eats the manure out of refried beans when we go out for Mexican.
 
I like pinto beans....I grew a bunch 2 years ago and still have many in reserve....I plan on planting some more this coming year....but not as many....I think mine taste better than store bought....

Next year I'm planting pintos, red beans, and maybe some chickpeas.... :hmm: Maybe some funky heirloom type too. :idunno:
