Yes, that's a good word for them, Jill. I like either fresh or frozen baby
limas when I make succotash, but to eat on their own I really prefer the
fordhooks. Mom always served homemade chili sauce on the side, and I'd
usually put a teaspoon or two on top of the fordhooks. Now, mostly I just
eat them buttered and sometimes add a bit of savory.
