I have trouble looking at a pinto bean. My mama cooked them every night of my life. They came in a 100 pound sack. Said she cooked pinto, because her mother burnt her out on white beans doing the same thing.

Lot of meals in the south didn't have meat in them.

That is a very colorful and pretty dish ! :tiphat:

 

[MO_cows]

Mmmm, that's a good dinner. I always split open the cornbread and put the beans over it.

As a young kid visiting my relatives in Georgia that always shocked me. I thought that everybody ate at 12 and 6 and that every meal had either beef or pork and some kind of potato. I reckon just like us they ate what they had. In the summer we did have other stuff from the garden.

That's what that lard can of old bacon grease was for--to give a dish a meat taste even when ya didn't have any meat.

We still cook with bacon grease, food just ain't the same without it. Especially eggs and beans/peas.

That's a good looking plate, but I'd starve eating just that

Me too, but I think some of these fellers are a little thinner than we are. That's exactly what my doctor wants me to eat.

Pintos get better with age. About day four they are the best. Beans, fried potatoes, Creasy greens, and corn bread is my favorite meal.

I'm pretty much the same way, BF. Stayed summers with grandparents and they had to cook lots of pintos because they couldn't afford much else. I'd wake to the smell of pintos cooking, then they would then be on the table for lunch and supper. Rinse and repeat everyday. The wife will use some Cajun seasoning in hers and I can eat a small amount that way.

That plate still looks good, Ala.

 

[ALACOWMAN]

We ate alot of beans to growing up..along with squirrel and rabbit dumplings. Don't eat like this all the time anymore...so don't get burnt out..

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

I think it's an outstanding looking meal Alacowman and I could eat like that all the time.
