Yes that is right, the green ones, flat and kidney shaped, are lima beans; your combination sounds so delicious. Butter beans have a nuttier flavor, and instead of green they are a reddish brown with pink or cream speckles on them, but turn brown when they are cooked. Folks like to eat them with Cornbread, which is made with white flour and ground corn meal, milk, eggs, tiny bit sugar and baking powder and oil, baked. It comes out like a cake.
Sometimes thing to do is crumble up the baked cornbread into cold or warm milk making a porriage out of it. Sometimes they liked to put the crumbled up cornbread into buttermilk, instead of regular milk, butter milk is kinda sour. It was thought of at our house as the poor mans snack. It is very bland, no good spices anywhere. I suppose it could be called comfort food. linda On Jun 3, 3:44 pm, diptanshu roy <[email protected]> wrote: > as far as i know they are the flat green beans...?? we get it during summers > and cool it with potatoes, pumpkin and pui leaves... > > On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 4:56 AM, Linda <[email protected]> wrote: > > Deep, do know what butterbeans are and what they look like?
