Lima beans are the absolutely most foul tasting vegetable in the entire universe. My mother would take fabulous fresh corn in the summer and ruin it with those oval mushy green pod things. Since I was forced to "eat what's put before you" no matter how many times I said I didn't like it, I would separate out the repulsive pods and shovel them in my mouth as fast as possible. The big glass of water was ready to wash the offensive texture, smell and flavor away.

AHHHH.. I'm tremoring with even the thought of it.

Brian, I'm with you on some of the other tree-bark tasting junk. Quinoa comes to mind...Why eat it? I'd rather try a new version of a favorite vegetable to keep it interesting.

Sorry Contessa, that edamame stuff is a step away from lima beans. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
