The poor lima bean. Picked out of vegetable soup, snubbed by children everywhere – it just doesn’t create much culinary excitement. Some people (ok, one band) have even blamed it for the extinction of the dinosaur!
For Lima Bean Respect Day, my family decided to pen some poems to honor this maligned legume. They made me promise I wouldn’t say who wrote which, but it’s pretty easy to figure out who wrote the last one.
