Different texture. Not mealy and the taste is different.

I got some canned beans I think at Walmart. I think they called them purple
eye beans. Looked like black eye but not the same color. I tried them.
Did not quite taste like the black eye. Flavor was very mild. They were
okay. Just not what I was expecting. To me, the black eye have a strong
flavor. That's why I like them.
