I'm usually the one who is posing that question. Find a bag of dry
beans that are called "small red beans". Those are what you want to
use, not kidney. Anyway, I finally made red beans & rice and it
turned out to be much ado about nothing. The good news is that I now
prefer the small red beans over kidney beans in chili (if you ever
make your chili with beans). So the conclusion is that I will
continue to buy small red beans, but I won't make red beans and rice
with them.
