idk what the name of those really big white beans are but this is an appreciation post for them
@nash great northern beans? lima beans?
@twistylittlepassages @nash of they were *really* big maybe Royal Coronas? They’re originally Italian I think
@twistylittlepassages @nash gigantes are greek I think? Which is not a cuisine I’m as familiar with but i wouldn’t be surprised to hear the two varietals are siblings so to speak
@Satsuma @nash oh and then I went and forgot the link. I mean these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantes_plaki
@nash @twistylittlepassages coronas for comparison: https://www.ranchogordo.com/products/royal-corona-bean (the last slide in the carousel is a strikingly similar dish haha)
@Satsuma @twistylittlepassages I have no clue which is the kind I've eaten but they both look delicious
@Satsuma @twistylittlepassages oh, they could have been those!! someone in a different reply said 'gigante beans', which also seem to be a large runner bean, so probably something like that!
