I bought a couple of packs of olives at Winco last week. They came in
plastic bags. There are probably 6 servings per pack. I bought two
different kinds (the had more) and one is a mix of olives. It also has some
red and yellow peppers in there and there was a bean! The bean looked like
a butter bean. It was crunchy! It was very good all soaked in that brine.

Has anyone ever seen this before? I have bought a lot of olives in my life
but have never seen a bean in there. I'd like to get more of these beans.
Does anyone know what it is? Can I buy just the beans?

FOOD PRODUCT ON THE SHELVES

I guess it's true what they say about everything balancing out
because just last week I found an olive in my beans.

Heh! In case anyone's interested, here is a pic:

http://www.gourmettrading.com/barnier-olives/

I bought the mixed ones. I looked on the package and they are lupini beans.
They have a website but it's all in French. I didn't do so well in French.

Has anyone seen these beans just put in olive type brine by themselves? Or
any other way? I want some!

They are lupini beans. This is the product:

http://www.gourmettrading.com/barnier-olives/

I bought the mixed ones. They do have a website but it's all in French. I
didn't want to pick the package out of the trash but my curiousity got the
better of me.

Steady on, lad. If it were a spurious ingredient it wouldn't be
listed on the ingredients label, now, would it?

Julie, research or write the manufacturer or distributor and ask
if they know of this or whether they make a similar product with
beans, eh? I'd be interested to find an olive-cured bean.

Oh yeah, lupine beans are great, sort of like favas in that they need
a lot of work to make. They come in a few packagings and taste
great, just do a google to get all their relevant info. They should be
available all over the place. Neat find, I'd forgotten about them.

Looks like they are available in a jar in brine. Now whether this is a
pickle type brine or an olive type, I do not know. And apparently you can
remove the outer husk before eating, which I did not do. Cento is one
brand. I will look for them!

Of course not! There are just the parts. They are allowed so many parts

Are you sure it wasn't a small clove of garlic? Garlic olives are pretty
common.. the garlic is the same colour as a butter bean.

Was it one of those big flat beans? You can buy them in jars by
themselves, so one may have got mixed into the wrong batch.

Yes I'm sure! I do know what garlic looks like. These were not stuffed
olives. And they were Lupini beans.

You ppl must shop in the wrong places. I've always found one traditional
bumble bee in my cans of that brand of tuna. They add a nice flavor.

Yeah...that's pretty tasty too.

The olives were in a pouch. I didn't see the beans in there until I had
dumped them in a bowl. I didn't feel like digging the pouch back out. But
then I finally did when I couldn't tell otherwise what they were. I did
know they were beans though and not garlic. I don't know any beans that
look or taste like garlic!

I love this, encountering something pleasant by mistake and now
being relegated to searching for it over and over till the day you die
if you don't find it first. It's like buying a pair of good athletic
shoes and when you go back to buy another pair they no longer make
them, so you have to hunt all over again for a new pair. Or like when
your barber dies and now you have to go find a new one who's going to
do as good a job. Finding that accidental bean has you so revved up
with joy it's driving you crazy. I think it's funny. But you're
right, they probably do keep the beans in brine. If not, you can be
the first to swing brined beans into production. And lastly, on a
somewhat anal-lytical note, could it be that you loved the bean
because it stood alone? Could it be that if it appeared in a can with
many other similarly shaped and tasting beans it would suddenly become
less desirable? Could it be that if you were eating a can of brined
beans such as the ones you seek and encountered a lone olive, you
might love the olive with the same unquenchable zeal that you now love
the lonesome bean.

I know they have tools for pitting olives, but I swear it still
amazes me to look at an olive without a pit and wonder how it came out
so clean. Sometimes when I get the ones without pits there might be a
small unseen bit of a pit left in there, so it's good to be careful
when chewing the ones without pits. This is an interesting thread,
like a detective novel, only shorter. First it was a bean. Then the
bean was identified by name. Now it's suspected to be a piece of
garlic. But the evidence is gone, eaten by the original poster whose
only proof of her own experience is her memory of it. Maybe it was
garlic, maybe it was a bean as she thought - perhaps we'll never
know. For the love of God we may never know the answer to this mind
numbing puzzle. But we're working it out. We'll get to the bottom of
this yet. All the way to the bottom of the pit.

It was a bean. I posted a link of the product.

I've got a can of "sloppy joe sauce" here in my pantry. Good on hotdogs but
I suspect I really don't want to know what Joe put in that can. ;-o

Next time you are at the grocery store, look for "Baby pet alligator
Gatorade." If they don't have it, you can request it. It's like that
tequila with a worm in the bottle.

Ok....sorry...that was really dumb. ;0
