One would think that frying anything is a sin in French cuisine and refrying is a mortal sin, Yes, they have les pomme frite, French fries, but that is for the tourists and the Germans, not found on a haute cuisine menu. I imagine a true Frenchman would never consider actually eating a bean (le haricot,) much less smashing them up and frying them. And knowing how anal they are about foreign words corrupting their language, I was surprised that, yes, there is a French term for refried beans, you know, the beans that are only fried once: des haricots frits. They do recognize that you only fry the danged beans once. There is a term refait, I saw on some menus for Spanish or Mexican fare,, but the word refait means to make again, not to fry again. I can assure you, however, that the French are just as flatulent as us bean eaters. I need nap. Someone stop me before I get to Finnish. Proper fries are dipped in oil twice. ? Al's flatulence mitigation program is soak, discard soaking water, and add kombu, which as we know, this tip is not appreciated by SP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black or Turtle beans are a Cuban bean. I rather like them. The state of Idaho is a big producer of that bean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Czervik Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 In honor of this thread, I just made white bean/kale soup with smoked and fresh hocks of swine, with some crusty sourdough for dipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
