That sounds like the difference between mature lima beans and baby
limas. I like baby limas, dislike the mature type. Didn't like lima
beans until baby limas appeared in the frozen section. Jill said how
much she likes so often Ford Hooks that I finally bought some
*once*... and did NOT like them at all. :P Different strokes.
