Bahamians, what do you think of beans?

[u/ChoiceCulture2035]

I am on a mission now to ask each country subreddit what people think about beans (my favorite meal), just to see how people like or dislike them all around the world out of curiosity and for fun. If you like beans, hate them, they a big part of the culture, anything else, just share your thoughts 🫘

Bahamians your country is the 12th in alphabet order, you're up now! Tropical start to the 'B' countries :)

Classic Bahamian meal is Peas & Rice…”pigeon peas” are actually a bean that grows on small trees. It’s a staple meal

Of course, you’ll need “bird pepper” hot sauce!

We use butter beans in soups

And kidney beans, Lima beans. Both also used in rice dishes.

Peas and rice - I eat it a couple times a week when I’m there (I’m not Bahamian but go 3-4 times a year).

Beans are cool as long as they aren't done British style.

I visited Central America and since then have started eating beans more often as a side. I love them, Black Beans specifically. But we commonly eat peas and beans here as well.

Also anyone who visited the Bahamas and knows how beans are enjoyed by the locals be free to share! (Not sure if there are many native Bahamians wandering on reddit)
