It's been said by some folks, here, beans all taste the same after
cooking. That one cannot tell which bean was used once the dish is
finished. I think I even agreed. Well, I was wrong, too.

I'm here to tell you is jes ain't so. I jes made up a mess of Cajun
Red Beans, like Red Beans & Rice. Only, I used great northern dried
beans. Know what it tastes like? It tastes like great northern beans
with a whole buncha cajun flavoring. Yep. All the best ingredients.
Fresh trinity, whole garlic, new bay leaves, Tony Chachere's Creole
spice, ham, sausage, Louisiana Hot Sauce, etc. Actually, it tastes
great!! But, it tastes like a great pot of Cajun great northern
beans, not classic Cajun red beans. So, if ya' want the real deal,
use red beans.
