Those beans!

[j_spot]

So after some time in Roatan Im addicted to those red beans. But now back in Canada I can't manage to find them at my Safeways or anything.

Does anybody know an online retailer that sells the whole beans? Or if not that, the canned/mylar bagged ones.

Any decent market or grocery should carry the dry beans but plan on hours and hours of cooking even in a pressure cooker. You may like

I waved at your Blue House as we went by in the blue boat from CCV last week... and I agree I love the beans and rice I try to eat them when I am there at least once a day...of course we can find them here in Texas but somehow they just don't taste the same

I hope if it waved back it did so nicely and did not give some other type of gesture.

Seems a bit far west for CCV, learn something new all the time. Were you heading around to the North?

no wave just a smile yeah we were on an all day trip to West End loaded with fried chicken and potato salad for lunch and Salva Vida for the trip back after diving...we
dived Lighthouse Reef Half Moon Bay and West End Wall.....it was a great day with smooth seas....West side had a little rain and we saw a water spout as we were getting back on the boat from our 3rd dive....awesome :blinking:

Odd you say that, before we bought it the guy living there had named it Casa L sonrisa, I think he thought sonrisa was sunrise yet it is actualy, Smile.

As in Red Beans and Rice? You could look for Zateran's in the prepared foods areas.

But the key difference between the ones in the US and Honduras is cooking the rice in coconut milk. It makes them sweeter and richer than what you find in say louisana.

And make sure that coconut milk is from freshly grated coconuts right off the tree, Using the canned stuff is not allowed.

You guys are hillarious. now I know why I like scuba board so much. there is a slight problem with your response though. J spot like me is from canada and no matter how much we try we just cant get those palm trees to grow here worth a darn. once august arrives and the temp starts to dip they just pick up roots and head south.
