Since My English Castle posted about having some lima beans and the fact they are haunting them...I thought for the fun of it, I'd ask my Facebook friends what they thought. My question was simple, do you like lima beans? The results were interesting and closer than I imagined they would be: 36 said yes and 45 said no. Those who said no, were adamant they disliked them. Many of the those who said yes often added they had to be fixed a certain way or in soup.
As you can tell, I am easily amused.

Lima beans are yucky! Even my mom and one of my sisters (who are both big veggie eaters) don't like lima beans.
And I want to know who is the "genius" (NOT) who decided that combining them with corn (to make succotash) was a good idea??? What did corn ever do to that person ??
