Beat beans

God damn it how did I typo the thread title.

broad beans = fava beans iirc

i eat a ridic amount of most of these though i mostly hate peas, butter beans have freaked me out since childhood, and chickpeas are horrible apart from in falafels

quite a big fan of flageolets, but beans are great any road.

I hate peas unless they're mushy. Love chickpeas. Just had kidney beans in my chilli cheese fries for lunch.

I use a lot of borlotti beans; chuck them in all sorts. Pad out a lasagne meat sauce, or a risotto.

i've got a puy lentil salad + pitta bread for my lunch

not mad keen on runner beans either, much prefer green beans/string beans. this might be the chunky chip vs skinny fries debate of the legume world

how can people not like peas for pete's sake?

i hate sweetcorn mind you.

chickpeas are very good. they're excellent in curries and salads, especially if you're vegetarian or 'going' vegetarian cos they really fill you up.

voted soy on account of soymilk, tofu and tempeh. but black beans and esp pintos are delish

sometimes I think I would be happy to eat nothing but chickpeas forever

fixed your title for you. How this thread doesn't include black or pinto beans is extremely troubling, but I can't edit poll options.

I've been really into purple beans lately (they are the most amazing purple when they grow on the vine but unfortunately turn green when you cook them.)

Growing beans has given me a whole new appreciation for them. Have grown broad beans (who knew they grew like that! so bizarre, like pod people! WTF!) and runner beans and French beans and borlotti beans and chick peas. I had a friend come round and visit me this morning and I spent like the first ten minutes just showing her all these different kinds of beans I had in my fridge that I'd grown.

Still probably love soy beans and adzuki beans the best, though.

Also disappointed by criminal lack of black beans.

I was going to post a .jpg as an answer, but it's really hard to find a picture of refritos that does justice to how awesome they actually are.

No pinto beans? :(

Broad beans or peas, can't choose.

are peas beans?

yea, probably my two top choices!

Yeah wtf, poll is some kinda scik joke or what

Do they even have Chipotle in the UK

We do actually

Every bean is sacred. Every bean is great. But, one cannot make hummus without chickpeas, therefore chickpeas walk off with it.

oh my god well-made houmous is sublime

i have an israeli friend who wisely distinguishes real houmous from hippie houmous. this post gets at the difference between smooth, delicious houmous and chunky, dry hippie houmous: http://desertcandy.blogspot.com/2007/07/hummus-dilettante.html

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Are beans supposed to be this colour?

I mean they tasted really good (and, oddly, they cooked to a purple colour. Not unlike the purple beans we grew, which cook to... ordinary green. Go figure.)

I am so confused by all these colour changing beans.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

a general ilx disinterest in bean ranking?

chickpeas, maybe, but what are the big white beans they serve with tomato sauce at greek restaurants? i love those.
