Most of them taste distinctly different to me. I think my favorite is dark
red kidney beans. Probably because that's what I grew up eating. My mom did
make navy bean soup sometimes and bought garbanzos to top salads but as far
as canned beans, the only other ones we had were kidney, pork and, or
occasionally baked. She usually made baked from scratch though.
