I love them, but there's even a song about how terrible they are.

They are a legume, which means they have more calories than, say, spinach. The keto diet says to avoid legumes altogether.Didn't know lima beans had a lot of calories.
Yep! That's what I remember. Yuck.I hate them. My mom always gave us mixed frozen vegetables (that were then reheated) and lima beans were in that mix. I dreaded those things. I ate the peas, carrots, and corn with no problem, but those lima beans....
I'm vegetarian and I like lima beans. I have not had them for years but I was at Cracker Barrel the other night and brought a vegetable plate with lima beans and it came with little pieces of ham in it so I could not eat them. The next time I go to the store I plan on buying a frozen package because now I want some.Although I'm vegetarian lima beans are not one of my favorites. I will eat them but they're not on the top of my list.
Your meal looks so good. I love olive bread.Yep! That's what I remember. Yuck.
Having said that, the dish I tried tonight...wasn't horrible. But I think if the limas hadn't been mixed with tomatoes, feta, parsley, etc., I wouldn't have liked them. It's a texture thing--they're so chalky.
So I can't say I'd never eat them again, but I sure won't go out of my way to eat them.

Try Butter Beans. I'm not sure what the difference is. I'll have to try them side by side and compare.So I can't say I'd never eat them again, but I sure won't go out of my way to eat them.

What?! Cilantro is one of the best foods on the planet!I like them. Not canned ones. I buy the frozen ones. Butter, salt and pepper and it's all good.
The green scourge of the earth is obviously cilantro.
Add me to team hate. It does taste like soap.My personal opinion is cilantro tastes like soap. I think there was a study that cilantro was a love or hate taste.
