I'm not sure I could even name 15 different dried beans. LOL

I've seen those mixtures. I might have even cooked some once. Seems to
me the one I bought came with a seasoning that was supposed to taste
like ham. That would have been 30 years ago.

When I make a big pot of chili (let's skip the "no beans in chili"
arguments, please!) I like to use three different beans. Pinto, kidney
and black beans. The combo is really nice.
