^ My mother made the best baked beans I've ever tastes. I asked her for the recipe but she never had one. All she could give me was a list of ingredients with no measurements except a package of white pea beans.
I gave up a long time ago trying to figure out the proportions. I couldn't even get close to the flavour.
The special ingredient is a mother's love! |

^ I don't remember seeing that on the ingredients list. I should have known, though.
(And I just noticed the typo in my post above. Oops. I guess I was just two tense.)

My parents always told me not to waste food, to think of the starving children in China.
So I always cleaned my plate, never wasted a bite.
But to this day, I've never figured out how it helped all those starving kids in China!  Ah yes! I was eating for Africa I believe my parents said that to me once. I seem to recall I suggested they send the food I didn't want to the starving children. |

Waste not want not, is what I can still hear my mamaw saying. We are a beans and cornbread family here in Kentucky, we use salt pork to season our beans, but my mother in-law prefers to use smoked jowl or country ham. I love salmon patties every now and then, I use the cracker crumbs, but dredge my patties in cornmeal......I love the crispy edges. Fried cornbread is my favorite, or baked in my big old heavy iron skillet...LOL Love me some good meat loaf too. Pinto beans with fried potatoes and cornbread here. 😊my family is from the lower part of West Virginia. I despise seafood though. |

Although he would call them "soup" beans, not pinto beans. His family is from eastern Tennessee/southern Kentucky. |

I cook mine with bacon in my slow cooker. 😘 |

Any idea why you would call soup beans? I have no idea. When my husband and I were dating and he told me what his favorite meal was I had to ask a friend what soup beans were! Growing up in Iowa the only beans I was familiar with were navy beans. We've come across a lot of food differences. For instance, in the midwest butter goes on EVERY sandwich. Even peanut butter sandwiches! I think my husband almost gagged the first time I made him a butter and peanut butter sandwich! He was not a fan. |

Hmm. While soup beans are traditionally pinto beans (called brown beans in the mountain region), other types of beans are also used en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_beans |
