If not in Chili, how else do you eat beans?

Look up any Indian dal recipe. I could live on them.

I've stopped trying to like Indian food. I've been to maybe 7 different Indian restaurants, one was overseas. I've sampled different Indian food at potlucks over the years.

And one indisputable fact has always occurred. With the one and only exception being Tandoori Chicken, I have never tasted and/or eaten an Indian dish that has left me with the feeling that I want to try that again in the future or that I want to learn how to make that dish.

Don't like papadums? Not had them? Most of the ones I've had were made w. chickpeas, but I understand lentils are also use. I could eat them almost by the bag, like potato chips. Specially if dipping up korma sauce.

Chili doesn't have beans. You must be referring to some kind of bean soup.

Z, I think you are having trouble because of canned beans that have then been overlooked. Try this. Pick a recipe you like that has beans in it. Then go buy a bag of that dried bean in the store. Cook them properly in water until done to your liking. Then season them. Try them with various spices. Obviously some beans go better with various profiles. I would try several varieties. Then tell us you don't like beans. Here are some classics. Split pea with ham, black bean soup, white beans with ham, baked beans with salt pork, black eyed peas, hummus, all of these are mostly bean and less other stuff. OR open a can of black beans sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper and and heat in the microwave. Dollop of sour cream, Dip with tortillas or corn chips--money.

Actually, NO, it isn't because of canned beans, I prefer to use dried beans when I make my chili or baked beans. I like to go as scratch as I can when cooking. I make my own stock, I make my own dry rubs, I use spices from a spice rack instead of buying taco seasoning mix, sloppy joe mix, etc.

Thank you all for coming to my defense. Sitting here trying not to be offended.

With the risk of getting flamed, I will submit another excellent (in my opinion) southern bean meal. Red beans and rice with smoked sausage. My wife and I spent a week on the MS. coast helping folks after Katrina. A school kitchen was cleaned and a local regularly prepared this for the residents and workers. My first exposure to it. We now have it quite often. Hard to beat IMHO.

Red beans, sofrito and rice. Enough said.

Also the red beans Rajma masala

Here in in the south, slow cooked pintos with a pone of cornbread gets a lot of press. Oh and always in chili

What is a pone?
Southern Slang for loaf of cornbread. We almost always cook it in a CI skillet and that's a pone of cornbread. It's an old term that goes back to at least colonial America when it was unleavened cornbread. For some reason the name stuck in the foothills of Appalachia. My generation may be the last that know the word though.

Learned something. @theyolksonyou‌

Order some of MudFlap Jones Bean Seasoning sometime. He comes to the National Muzzleloading Shoot here a couple times a year and I always buy several packs. It is pretty good and different than any beans I've ever had.
