They did. But they have some added ingredients.

I use far less dried than I used to. I like to use dried for black bean or
bean with bacon soup. I also like that I can get some varieties that I can't
get canned.

I don't want to mess with hot beans and a colander. Plus when I make them, I
make a huge batch. This works for me.

Now that is really interesting. I've never heard that. The river was
undoubtedly not as polluted at that time.
My mother would tell of when they slaughtered pigs on the farm. They
would fry up the meat, layer it in a barrel and pour the rendered hot
fat over the fried meat to preserve it through the winter months. She
was still living with her mother on the farm at that time. I don't
know if they had electricity or not., I don't recall ever asking that.
This was in Minnesota.

Minnesota, another cold place in the winter. I'll tell you one thing, those
people were survivors and never let anything go to waste in those days.

Or rip out carpeting? I prefer thin crispy crust. I don't need more

If I thought my magnesium levels were a concern I'd likely keep some V-8
or tomato juice around. I would not be eating tomatoes or sauce out of
a can, cold.

Dried beans are high priced? I don't think so. But they do need to be
soaked (overnight).

Having said that, I don't eat what people consider "baked beans". I do
use canned beans in my spicy five bean soup because they're cheap and
it's no bother to cook. Add beef stock and seasonings. It's quite tasty.

Fortunately I don't use a lot of beans, canned or otherwise. I do
always have some on hand. 50 cents for a bag of beans, no biggie.

So you say. It shows up looking fresh on the shelf at the grocery

When I do, it's not like you seem to think it is.

What do you call "baked beans"?

I suspect that's cuz "canned beans" are already cooked. Yer merely
re-heating them.

> 50 cents for a bag of beans, no biggie.

Must be a local thing. I haven't seen dried beans fer less than
$.78lb (dried bulk pintos) in over 10 yrs. They're more like
$1USD-$2USD lb, here in CO, these dayz. $6.50USD fer a 5 lb bag
(dried pintos).

Gary is obviously not too smart, what's the big difference between
eating half a frozen pizza and 1/3 a frozen pizza? We consider a
frozen pizza a lazy meal, it's for when we don't feel like a full
cooked meal due to time constraints and/or we're not all that hungry.
When I was a lot younger I could very easily polish off an 18"
pizzaria pie loaded with extra toppings all by my lonesome, and that
was the appetizer before the masssive tureen of ****ghetti with
scungilli arrived.
That I tend to cook large quantities in no way means we eat large
quantities at each meal... I cook large quantites only to save me from
having to cook the same dish so often... it's what freezers are for.
Today I ran the dishwasher for the first time this year, nearly 100
plastic containers were washed.

Either you have very small containers or you have an industrial size
dishwasher. Or you're talking bullshit, but that's hardly conceivable.

50¢ a pound for dried beans was in the '50s, today about $2. You
haven't bought dried beans since you were about eight years old. I'm
amazed at the price of dried beans myself. I wanted limas, when I
looked they were $2.39/lb... canned cost 89¢ a 15 oz can... a better
buy since I didn't have to cook them. When I lived on Lung Guyland
canned beans at the hispanic stores were dirt cheap. Dried beans were
cheap too but in 50 pound sacks.

You are not very mechanically inclined... don't feel bad, most people
aren't, most people are unable to conseptualize space usage... most
people are unable to maximize closet and dresser drawer space... look
into most people's garage and it's a friggin' mess, plus the car
won't fit, such a pig sty overflowing that the damned door won't
close... that's why many homes are now designed with the garage door
facing the side yard, so people passing won't have to see the glaring
scrap heaps.

Most of my storage containers are flatish rectangular pint size...
very easy to fit a hundred into a normal dishwasher, with lids, when
one knows how... in staggered layers... matters not if they clink
together, plastic won't chip. I don't use round containers because
they waste freezer space as well as waste dishwasher space.... round
containers also waste cabinet storage space. There's a good reason
why food processors use flatish rectangular containers for prepared
frozen foods, they stack easily while maximizing storage space....
they're even designed with a ridged pattern top and bottom, most
people think for a decorative appearance , but in fact for cold air
circulation, and also strength.

Originally icecream was packaged in tubular/round containers, then
most went to a rectangular configuration to conserve freezer space,
and now they've added ridges and filleted/rounded corners for cold air
circulation and strength... most people only know 'fillet' in a
culinary sense, however fillet is very often used in a
manufacturing/design sense:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fillet
One day there will no longer be round metal cans on food shelves...
many grocery items are already packaged in paper/foil brick
configurations.

Horse hockey! If you were telling the truth, you would have added
a few pics. Let's see the pics, Sheldon. This was one of most
ridiculous claims ever made on RFC.

I could cram that many in but they certainly wouldn't be properly
washed.

I agree. I went to the grocery store this morning and made a
point to price dried beans. Most are between $2-3 dollars per
pound. Already cooked canned are much cheaper.

Great northern or navy beans are much cheaper buying precooked in
the can.

Even Jill's beloved pearl barley cost $1.99 per pound. I buy them
often to add to soup.

I buy them at the .99 store though they don't have a huge selection. They
always have great northern, pinto, and usually kidney beans, but not lima
beans often. I have finished my grocery shopping for the day too, very few
people, in and out.

The only thing I buy dried is split red lentils. If
I recall correctly, the ethnic (Middle Eastern) grocery
has them at about 1/3 the price of the grocery store.
Obviously, that's not an option for everyone; we have
a huge Middle Eastern population in southeast Michigan.

That's how I buy them. Plus, one 14-ounce can is about
all I want to use at once. I dump 'em in a batch of
vegetable soup.

Oh I see. It's nothing at all like

Tulips on an organ.

NO, you imbecile! They were all hand washed before going into the
dishwasher, but handwashing plastic still leaves an oily film... in
fact wiping plastic icecube trays with a paper towel and a small bit
of cooking oil makes them non-stick... but you knew all that so quit
preaching to the choir.

The most common use we have for canned beans is rinsing and added to
tossed garden salad.... we like dark red kidney and garbanzo but
other's work well too... I keep a rather large assortment of canned
beans.... some in the pantry but most on shelves in the basement.

Too late, already washed, left over night on the kitchen counter to
fully air dry, and put away. I'm not about to do a mock up of haw I
place the containers, I'll try to remember next time. It never
occured to me that people didn't already do this kind of stacking,
that's what I get for spending most of my life working with
toolmakers... we really do see the world differently. I tend to
forget that most people haven't the mechanical abilty of a chimpanzee
and chimps have rather good mechanical ability, unlike most of yoose
their mommy didn't need to teach them how to peel a banana. Most
creatures learn by monkey see monkey do, but not humans., humans need
tutoring to learn how to eat solid food. And many adult humans
haven't the dexterity to peel a banana... I've often seen people
create a huge mess peeling an orange... probably how orange juice was
invented. LOL

Wince, Gary, what you saw was cooked beans (3/4 or more water) are
cheaper.

Your 16oz can of beans is just that. 16oz dry beans (depending on
version) will be 36oz or more product.

I think so too. It doesn't make any sense. Maybe when he sees 10
plastic containers, his overactive imagination turns that into a 100.
Soon, it will be a 1000.
