My Dad also loved Ham and Lima beans which I despised.
We had it once a week on Wednesday.
How he fell in love with that was a mystery to me, he picked up the habit from C Rat cans in the Army.
No Sir it aint working for me.
Musta been poor as a Church mouse.
LOL! I like Lima Beans. My grandmother made them often, and somewhere I have a great Lima Bean Casserole recipe. My husband also does ‘Barbecue Lima Beans’.
I’ll dig those recipes up and post them soon.
(Thanks for the idea for another thread: Lima Beans!)
I am a freak of nature but, I was my mother’s favorite child because I would eat (and sincerely compliment) whatever she served. As a kid I loved buttered bread with lima beans. Now, I’ve outgrown that delicacy, as my palate has evolved but, what kid loves a lima bean sandwich?
This thread is great for the memories if not for the recipes!
My dad loved a salt cod stew that he had as a boy in Spain. Horrid stuff that he made for us as kids wanting to share his joyous, comforting memory which only starving, feral street cats might share. Oh my! Yech! But, for him, it was love in a bowl and I wish I could share a spoonful with him this weekend.
If you still have your dad, go and eat something gross that he loves while you still can!
I still hate green lima beans. Somewhere along the line I had or made something that had a lot of the pale white lima beans and they were fine tasting.
