[BikeGeek]

I don't think I do. I always had a hard time getting them down as a kid. They're so dry.....or is that just my mom's cooking?

 

[I Are Baboon]

No, nobody likes lima beans. Freakboy.

 

[TN]

(they taste better if you call them that )

 

[binary visions]

Seek help. For you and your boys.

I love lima beans! I can eat a big bowl of them with salt and pepper :love: :love:

Oh, and lentals too! Love 'em :heart:

 

[SkaredShtles]

I like mine just with fresh ground pepper. I think they're supposed to be really good for you, no?

Long live the lima beans!!

Their texture *is* a bit........ odd, I guess.

Grapes have the texture of eating eyeballs.

Mmmmmmmm......... eyeballs........

My kids call grapes "monkey eyes"

-S.S.-

 

[narlus]

i like that iron chef america add, where the chefs are talking about what they woudl make usign trout as the theme ingredient.

morimoto: trout ice cream....with EYEBALL!

 

[SkaredShtles]

Mmmm...... had a bean salad a couple nights ago - black, pinto, kidney, and LIMA beans with a balsamic/olive oil/dijon dressing.....

-S.S.-

 

[berkshire_rider]

My mom made something similar to this when I was growing up. It was quite good, especially with some butter melting on top of it.

 

[rvlacich]

One of the Manischewitz soup mixes has lima beans and it's really good. I can't remember which one, but it comes in a long, clear thin plastic bag. Toss in some Kielbasa, cook for a few hours, and life is good.

 

[Dartman]

They're really hard to keep lit.


Oh, sorry thought this was the Pot thread. Happy 4/20 everyone!

I watched Iron Chef America the other day for the first time and it was that episode where he made the trout ice-cream. I was watching what the Japanese guy was making and what the American guy was making and knew exactly what the American judges were gonna say. Of course the American guy won. The Japanese chef didn't seem to have much clue what would appeal to an American/Western palate. Hus stuff was way too Japanese. Interesting show though, I've never really watched the Japanese version.

 

[narlus]

so would you recommend the trout ice cream w/ edamame coulis?

 

[Mad Dog]

Lima bean and ham bone soup! Yummy! Another unliked legume-the black eyed pea-try it with tabasco.

 

[Motionboy2]

I like lima beans, though I hardly eat them unless I am home and my mom makes them.

You should eat them more. Roommates for *sure* won't hoark your food if you're eating lima beans.

-S.S.-

 

[audj]

overcook them and the texture is really nice. they melt like mashed potatoes. the best way i've ever had them in was chicken stew, in a crock-pot.

 

[trailblazer]

limas in stews and soup >>>>yeah
grapes are the most genetically altered fruit and should be avoided unlike ganga.

Are you insane?

[trailblazer]

Are you insane?

-S.S.-

no but i am informed.
The grape has been genetically altered to make wine to the point that there is no resemblence to the grapes produced 50 years ago.
This is a fact.
Try feeding them to an informed vegan. I have and it's ugly.
North American fruit been bred to satisfy the consumer's vision and taste.Vital nutrients and minerals vave been replaced with vanity.
Oranges should be almost blackened and discoloured not bright orange with a shiny wax coating. That is one of hundreds of examples. Bananas should not be picked when green. I could go on for days.

wow...my mom used to make it. It is the barley/lima soup mix and it has a light green soup base you add. I make it now that she has been gone for years and I will carry on the tradition by adding a meat bone. I actually made one last week and i add celery/carrot/onion. mmmm good.

 

[SkaredShtles]

What, through cross-breeding? Show me the facts, man. The facts.

Oh - and what about grapes from Chile? Are they any good?

How about the ones from Mexico?

Italy?

France?

-S.S.-

 

[hooples3]

The only way i will eat lima beans is with cheese on them.. cheese can make anything taste good.. well almost anything

 

[trailblazer]

well chile has had problems and in Toronto numerous recalls because of ecolai and other verman in the fruit, so i quite eating any fruit from chili. Mexico.....pleeease.
gimme a break would i drink their water>>NO so why would i eat something fed that water??

look bro fruit should not be all the same and look good. Ever been to the Caribean?
I am reminded every year what fruit should look and taste like and it doesn't exist in the States and Canada. Even organic[hahahaha] pales in comparison.
You can keep anything grown in Florida and Hawaii where the dirt is letched with chemicals. You want proof>>>use your mouse i ain't your shop bitch.lol.
I am not a genious but i heed the words of my rasta and homopathic health store.
cya

<snip a bunch of "I don't have any evidence of my claims bull$hit so I'll try to return the ball to your court">
I am not a genious

No. No you're not. That we can definitely agree upon.

-S.S.-

Edit: What's a "homopathic" health store??

 

[trailblazer]

you can rephrase it and dice it but Im still will not eat it.
At least the labeled "organic" has some taste to it


topic:
so our parrot loves em. We make her , well I make her, a soft food mix from assorted hard beans softly boiled and mix barley, fresh shucked corn and a little basmati rice and now we even eat it. Sort of tastes like rissoto.

 

[quadricolour]

What's a "homopathic" health store??

That's where they give you one specific type of disease, as opposed to the plethora you might be exposed to at your typical homeopathic health store.

Here's a question. WTF do you eat? Apparently the fresh fruits and veg are off the menu.

Do you grow all your own food?
