LIMA BEANS???!!! Slowly I turned.... I know what you mean. My late father insisted on us kids eating those God awful things. He would solemnly recount to us that “Lima beans kept me and my family alive during The Depression. Sometimes that’s all we had!’’. Jeez. If that’s all I had to eat I’d be depressed too.

I love lima beans. My husband makes wonderful BBQ lima grands.

Lima beans were verboten on our table when I was growing up. My father had gone to boarding school in England for several years and after eating so many during his time there he swore never again. The other food not permitted was creamed chipped beef on toast. Army years settled that matter.
