A few weeks ago I was making a veggie stew and it called for beans. Since this was a - I'll call it a light colored - stew, I decided the only beans in the pantry were black and kidney they would make the stew ugly. I ran over to what passes for a grocery nearest to home and looked over the canned selection.
They had some Trappy's Butter beans so I bought them. As with most canned beans, they were over salted and nearly mussy, I used them anyhow and no one complained.
Now the point of this was to ask about Butter Beans. I saw some real goodness in those canned beans the canning not withstanding.
Wikipedia [ [SIZE=-1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lima_bean ] says that the butter bean is a Lima. If it is a Lima what variety is it, How is it cooked in the simple {most basic} manner and lastly, is it really a southern dish.
After I learn how to make the basic I wish to then see where they can go.
Thanks
