You’re probably right. Speaking of beans, I just discovered that PictSweet
is now packaging frozen speckled butter beans, another of my favorites.

Until recently I could find speckled butter beans "fresh" at a market about
6 miles away. I love those things!

I rarely see any type of fresh beans in the pod out here.

At this market they hull them for you and store them in a refrigerator.
It's the closest thing I can find to a farmers market around here. The
farmers market travels around from town to town, only open for short hours
and on certain days of the week. I'm not about to chase them down or only
shop on Tuesday between 9-12. Ridiculous!

Who needs to chase anything down? Just get their schedule of where they
are on particular days and hours and go to the site where they are at
that day.
I'd certainly welcome that option over the one I have. Our farmers
market is open *only* Saturday mornings.

I think what you want is a supermarket. The idea of farmers markets
and market days has been around for centuries. And has only
recently started to make a comeback due to the existence of places
like Walmart and Sam's Club.

Local to me, I see that brand all the time. Probably not exported USA wide
is all. Not sure where it comes from, just that it's a common label here
for a decent quality product.

I don’t really know how wide their distribution is, but I find it here in
Arizona, and I also found it back in Ohio when we lived there.

PictSweet is not a house brand. I have found it in several of our
supermarket chains as well as at WalMart. As far as I know, all of their
products are frozen and, IMHO, of very good quality.

http://www.pictsweet.com/

I don’t know how you make succotash, but apart from corn and lima or butter
beans, some recipes call for some or all of the following: onion, garlic,
red and green peppers. Most all recipes call for salt and pepper, to
taste.

The most “authentic” recipe I know is one my mother always made, which
consisted of corn, lima or butter beans, a scant grating of onion, a pinch
of thyme, and salt and pepper, to taste. At the end of cooking, vegetables
drained, added back to the pot along with ½ cup heavy cream per 4 cups
vegetables. Cook at low heat until cream thickens. Adjust seasonings.

It’s really delicious!

Jill,

Now hold on just a minute woman! I happen to live one town away from Lima,
PA!!! The lima bean capital of the world!!!

And to tell you the truth, as fresh as they are, they STILL SUCK! Worst
vegetable on the planet. YMMV.

I love Brussels Sprouts too, but I used to hate them. My mother was one
of those who was taught to cook the daylights out of them, and BS are
one of those vegetables that develop a nasty taste when over-cooked.
When properly cooked they are delicious.
