I'm not even talking about Campbell's bean casserole here... I recall a
dish that calls for fresh green string beans. And new potatoes, boiled.
It's a southern US dish, served smothered with a simple white sauce made
with butter or some sort of fat. I believe it's called "creamers [the
potatoes] and beans", although I can't find a current reference for it.
My mother introduced me to the dish when I came to visit in the early
90's. We were grocery shopping together and she said "Oh, we need to
make creamers & beans!" Uh, what? We need to buy some new potatoes and
fresh string beans. Okay.
I wasn't impressed by the dish then, and am not likely to be impressed
by potatoes and beans again.
