When I was a child I would gag on those horrible legumes! My parents would make me sit at the table for hours (it seemed) until I ate them (which I would puke up).
Yes. They were old-school "eat everything put before you" conservative Christian assholes.
It wasn't until I was an adult in my 40's that my mother confessed they "made a mistake".
That does look awfully nasty. I, however, make a simple casserole with lima beans that is quite tasty. I don't have a photo of it, but I'll give you a quick recipe. Just take a 1 lb. pkg of frozen baby limas and cook them for a few minutes in boiling water. Then slice up an onion, brown it in butter (NOT margerine), add it to the drained beans, pour into a casserole dish, cover generously with grated cheddar cheese and put in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes. Even those poor, lost souls who, as children, hated lima beans, will probably like (or at least not hate) this dish.
It WAS ham and lima beans before somebody barfed it back up. It's a shame they slaughtered an animal to create that monstrosity -- but it must have looked tasty in the sixties, huh? They put it in a book, and not even a scary book.
You've now cured me of my ridiculous obsession with food!
ReplyDeleteAnything with lima beans in it is puke-inducing.
ReplyDeleteOzzie Guillen, Chicago White Sox Manager, would LOVE this dish!

ReplyDeleteEven back in the day when I ate meat I didn't like ham, and this is just reinforcement of why not.
ReplyDeleteOh gawd! Lima beans!

That looks an awful lot like something my cat left in the basement.
ReplyDeleteBut I actually like ham and lima beans.
I can't recognize it, so it must be casserole. I'm guessing it somehow involves condensed soup and overprocessed meat.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a hate crime against ham.
ReplyDeleteewww was that food going in or coming up?
ReplyDeleteUggh. Is that cheese melted on top or a lima bean furball?
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason soldiers call that food combo ham and motherfuckers.

ReplyDeleteThanks for supporting my healthy living venture with this positive reinforcement!
ReplyDeleteWhat. The . Hell?
ReplyDeletewas that from Babs Bush's kitchen?
ReplyDeleteI'd eat the lima beans! Don't be hatin' on the beans!
