Comments on: Three Bean Salad with Spring Herbs http://beckyandthebeanstock.com/?p=153 Eating my way through a year's worth of heirloom beans Mon, 22 Nov 2010 01:49:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.5 By: Wyandotte http://beckyandthebeanstock.com/?p=153&cpage=1#comment-365 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 03:49:20 +0000 http://beckyandthebeanstock.com/?p=153#comment-365 Lard & other cold, old scrapings from the bottom-of-the-roaster made into sandwiches we took to school. Puke. Couldn’t even swallow it. I recall the girl sitting next to me, a kind person, who said that she couldn’t swallow horrible-tasting things, either. This was about 1961. The students from a really large family had plain, purified lard on their sandwiches!

I appreciate your attempt to change the standard 3-bean salad, which never tasted like anything except slugging vinegar straight from the bottle…can’t afford the tarragon and the balsamic, though. Sounds fabulous.

Otherwise I would have spend my entire childhood there, because I was very picky.

I hate three-bean salad too. Your saying that gives me courage: I think I’ll try this one. :)

That might win the award for the Food that Wouldn’t Die. You’re right, too about the texture, Jill. Food is as much about consistency as it is flavor, and whoever thought the texture of that stuff was a good idea knew bugger all!

Or that light mint green looking pudding stuff with floating bits of who knows what. Does anyone remember these? I gag just thinking of the way that jello squished in my mouth. I think I only tried it once and I still can’t do jello shots b/c of the memory!

It says childhood with all the fondness that three bean salad doesn’t. Do I need to work harder on food snobbiness then?

Broccoli swimming in Velveeta. Never could handle the stuff. I was destined to grow up to be a food snob.
