Soup Beans

[crash325]

Recently made some pinto beans. A cold bean sandwich is really good.

...A cold bean sandwich is really good.

Especially with a warm mug of 'cream of boiled water soup'...mm,mm,good...!

My dad said he ate many cold bean sandwiches back in the 1930's.

One thing I have never eaten, nor does it sound inviting. I've eaten a lot of squirrel, rabbit, duck, quail, catfish, alligator, possum (Only once), poke salit, okra, head cheese, beef heart, deer, elk, bear and pheasant, but no bean sandwiches. My Dad used to eat dry bread, or popcorn, or cornbread in a glass full of milk, but never a bean sandwich.

My mother used to send us to school with baked bean sandwiches and a little Miracle Whip mixed in. I hated them. Looking back at some of the things I used to whine about eating; baked bean sandwiches, occasionally scrambled eggs for supper; I never realized how lucky I was to always have 3 meals a day, clean, decent clothes, and a warm place to sleep at night.

Don't recall ever having any kind of bean sandwich. But I do remember taking biscuit and scrambled egg sandwiches with a pint fruit jar of milk to school for lunch. And since the school did not have a refrigerator for us to use at that time, sometimes my milk would sour before lunch. And in those days, a baloney sandwich on store bought bread was a real treat. My Dad did not like "light bread"; i.e., store bought loaves of bread. Mother baked biscuits, cornbread, or yeast rolls for every meal. Scrambled eggs for supper was very good, and in the heat of the summer, just cornbread crumbled in a glass of milk was a good supper.

The strange thing is that I still don't care for eggs, unless they're doctored up with cheese, sausage, and/or something else good. Yet I've been raising laying hens for the last 6 or 7 years. I share them with my dog and give the rest away.

Bless you 2Lane for using the correct "poke salit".

In our little town of Gainesboro, TN, there is an annual Poke Salit Festival.

I love it...haven't had any for years, but Mom used to cook it for my Dad all the time.

I mowed our yard and the next door neighbor's yard day before yesterday and noticed there is poke salit that I should go pick today. About this time last year, I picked it and cooked it, and I'd just about forgotten how good it is.
