Had a worker out to the house and since it was more labor than thoughtful contemplation, we got to chatting. He reveals that canned pintos (brand was phonetically Lux] and mayo, plus salt n pepper, is one of his regular eats.

I know I’m not from around here, but I come from an ag state and never heard of what sounds like a super disgusting dish.

anyone?.
 
I like pinto beans, and I like mayo…….

may have to give this a shot
 
Pinto beans and mayo with some Tapatio is a thing. Same with rice and mayo with Tapatio. It's popular in the Philippines and you don't need the hot sauce but a tortilla is nice.

Pintos are commonly mixed with lard in refried beans (refritos) anyway. So I can see some folks using mayo instead of lard. Yeah, get your calories at whatever low price you can. I

No wonder many of these folks resemble potatoes or turnips more than green beans. Please forgive me for wishing more people knew about (and could afford) nutritional food.
 
Not for me, it isn’t. Of course, mayo and anything is not for me. I can’t stand the stuff!. Pinto beans, I can tolerate, but they’re not ny favorite.

They are the base for my bean soup or baked beans, but never standalone. Green beans are the only by-itself bean I can do.

It sounds like a meal for a poor person - is the worker a day laborer/illegal?

Nope. He has lived in the area all his life and makes good money in transport services. his surname is common around here and most own small businesses, He doesn’t want to own so works for his cousin,

Why do you think pinto beans are a problem food Jim ? Pinto beans are very nutritious. Lard not so much. The refried bean recipes I use include olive oil instead of lard. I pressure can pinto beans with seasonings for Mexican recipes and bean soup.

I think its the pops and chips that are the main problem with fat people. Not so much pinto beans, imo.

Wherever did you get the idea that I thought pintos are a problem? They are absolutely good, nutritious food. Low cost, with great, plant based protein and loads of fiber. Same kind of deal with potatoes. What gives them a bad rap is loading them up with saturated fats like lard, butter, sour creme, too much salt. You can make a healthy food into a Frankenstein!

I don't know. I must of read your post wrong Jim.

Legumes are nutritionally balanced - high protein, fiber and carbs. Hence vegans have legumes in their diet. Everyday I consume adzuki beans, with Splenda added towards the end, to keep me regular. It is a dessert in many parts of Asia, so you have to grow up with it to enjoy this. Many authentic Cantonese (Chinese) restaurants serve it as a dessert at the end of the meal. Japanese, Chinese and Korean also use the sweetened adzuki bean paste as fillings in their desserts - An-Pan bun or Adzuki bun (baked bread bun) and mochi (the sticky rice version instead of ice-cream).
 
In Mexico, a corn on the cob covered in mayo, chile powder, cheese and lime skewered on to a stick is a thing. I haven't tried it yet.

Just told DH about the pinto beans/mayo combo and he says he will have to try this! He may even experiment with navy beans, butter beans, cannelloni beans, etc., but probably not baked beans.

Is that the same as red bean?

We use pinto beans in chili. I also use refried beans (maybe 1/2 or 1/3 a can ) mixed into the turkey taco filing I make.

It is Mexican street corn. Not bad on the cob - I have tried it off the cob and did not care for it. Then again - I dont care for corn nibblets.

It's so good! But it's not usually COVERED in mayo. It's just, like, a little buttering of mayo, just enough to make the other ingredients stick and to let the corn brown on the grill. We've made it at home and also had it at street fairs. And there's a corn truck stationed at a park nearby. (And we live in NJ.)

People who generally resemble "potatoes or turnips more than green beans" do so more based on how much they eat, not specifically what they eat. Do you eat baked potatoes without butter, sour cream or salt? I like to add cheese to mine!

Never heard of it, thanks! I have a vegetarian friend that has lived all over the world. I’ll have to ask him if he likes them. He does cook, so hard to say what all he does with them.
