I like preparing and using a few of those beans in the photo.
Black, Pinto, Lentils, Kidney and Black Eye Peas.
Each produces it’s own unique sauce and color when fully cooked. The trick is not to overcook, when all the beans shed and discard their ‘outer jackets’, because that pureed texture can make it harder for the stomach to digest.

**What’s with the extended list of historical figures?

I love beans. All kinds, I don’t think there’s one I don’t like. Easy to grow, easy to cook, tons of recipes, and good for you. This time of year I like a good bowl of bean and bacon soup. Yum.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit!

The ending of “Black Adder Goes Forth” is still one of the greatest moments in TV history. Still tears me up everytime I watch it.

A local restaurant here, McGuire’s Irish Pub, has Senate Bean Soup for 18 cents a bowl if you order a full meal.

It supposedly is the same recipe that is used in the US Capitol cafeteria in Washington DC and originally sold for 18 cents back in the 50’s.

We get it every time we eat there and it’s really good, and you can’t beat the price!.............

It should be pointed out that beans are never acceptable for breakfast in any civilized country.

“At War with the Army” (1950) Jerry Lewis sings “Beans”

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042209/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_72

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNkLTAd68KY

In the Navy they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake
They have fancy cooks who know what cookin’ means
In the Army we get mess, and it really is a mess
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Send a salami to your boy in the army
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Navy service is ideal, printed menus every meal
And they decorate your plate with parsley greens
In the Army, we get chow that you wouldn’t feed a Chow
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
Beautiful beans, gorgeous beans, succulent beans (beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Send a baloney, ‘cause I’m skinny and boney
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
(Nothing but beans)

Loving those beans, huggin’ those beans
Know what It means, mommy, I love ya
Nothing but beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Oh, it seems bell-bottomed pants are conducive to romance
They are wined and dined and loved by movie queens
But you wear a khaki frame, and you get a wacky dame
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

It is only the beans
You can grab a marine, and you show him a bean
He says, what does it mean, that I never have seen
So you grab a civilian, and one in a million can identify
So I say to you, why do we got to have beans?

Multiple beans, tropical beans, succulent beans
Nothing but beans, beans
Nothing but beans
