I eat a lot of beans, so I'm kind of surprised when people don't. Last night I heard that some guy who was well over 20 had not ever heard of chick peas, and had never had lentils in a favourable context.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I consider all of these reasonably common. Except in Germany, they have no black beans. We made a sport of looking for black beans in Germany.

Soybeans in the form of edamame.  Yes, yes.

I have only ever had peanuts out of this list. I hate good food, but I am slowly becoming better at it. Bear with me.

Hell, I've had most of those in the last two weeks. Beans are cheap and healthy, and I am poor. I'm assuming, though, that white kidney beans are the same as navy beans? I've never seen anything labeled as white kidney beans.

I've never had Mung beans, though. Anyone got a good recipe lying around? I'm in the mood for a flavor adventure.

I wanted everyone to have an option here.

I believe white kidney beans are different, they are the same size as kidney beans where navy beans are smaller. Similarly mild, though. They're good tossed in with pasta.

I've pretty much only had mung beans in curries, like this one. The hulled version (moong dal, you can get at the indian grocery store) is good for this too.
I would also count bean sprouts as mung beans, though.

White kidney beans are usually labeled as cannellini.  They are tasty good, esp. in soups and Italian dishes.  Navy beans are smaller.  They're often what you're buying when you get a can o' baked beans.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever eaten mung beans, but rather mung bean sprouts.

No love for the great northern beans? Pretty good list. I have actually had all these, including Tempeh. That's not to say I liked 'em all, but I think beans are one of those things whose 'goodness' or 'badness' is 90% due to preparation.

Prepared the rightway, I bet I like 'em all.

Judy: You only hate good food because you can't get it in England. (I've been there. I looked. The Indian food was pretty good. The Haggis? OK) Try it, you'll like it.

Ain't that the truth.

I have eaten all of those beans, but where is the comical final poll option?

I don't like beans.  I can't stand the mealy texture. They have to be cooked to a complete mush.  Hummus is OK, lentils cook into a puree easily, beans refried to within an inch of their life can be edible. But chewing on beans - ugh.  I love tofu, because it feels nothing like beans.

Taa-da.

Beer with me.

Better!

[CortJstr]

I didn't check beans that I've only eaten accidentally like any that are ruining an otherwise tasty chili. Also I had no idea that one could get mung in non-sprout form.

That's a better comical last option than human beans.
