[Cuban_Liberal]

6. Me, a legumphobe?

My black beans take exception to that charge.

;)

[ashling]

12. I can't stand Black Beans

they look like deer droppings.

[Cuban_Liberal]

14. OMG!

Black beans with sour cream andchopped red onion ROCK! Think of them as Cuban potatoes.

;)

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. Oooh. The gloves are off now!

I love black beans, especially in salsa.

[ashling]

22. Pinto Beans

with cilantro.

I also love green beans - with or without the mushroom soup

[2Design]

11. Me too!!!!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. I had Saag

I prefer curried creamed spinach to the green bean casserole, though I did have it for Thanksgiving.

[Cuban_Liberal]

4. That sounds delicious.

:)

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

7. it is!

onions, coriander, cumin, tumeric, spinach, butter, and a bit of powdered milk ('cause I don't have cream).

[GOPisEvil]

8. We had green beans with almonds. No casserole.

:9

[tekriter]

9. We had it, but I didn't eat it...

does that count?

[DawgHouse]

10. Couldn't find the french fried onions...

Where do they normally put these in the supermarket? I looked all over and couldn't find them so I decided to forget about it all together.

[ashling]

17. look over by the potato chips and

potato sticks and Pringles

[candy]

25. My supermarket keep them with the canned vegetables and---

instant mashed potatoes,scalloped potatoes etc.

[gollygee]

13. None here

We just had plain old green beans.

And they were yummy :)

[asjr]

15. Green bean casserole only if I haven't eaten for

5 or 6 days. I am not fond of turkey so I had sesame chicken.

[MissBrooks]

16. With the mushroom soup and fried onion rings?

[ashling]

19. pizza

[Mabeline]

20. We had it, and normally I really like it, BUT

my mom doesn't like mushrooms so she ask me to make it with cream of chicken soup this year...YUCK! I will never make that mistake again!

[Blue Diadem]

21. Not this time,

We had broccoli casserole and corn casserole with our dinner.

Although..we did have green bean casserole at Thanksgiving.

[fortyfeetunder]

23. I've never ever cooked green bean casserole.

I am not sure I could get into it either.

[UrbScotty]

24. Here, here. (nt)

[marlakay]

26. Soooo funny

my daughter calls and says grandma is bringing pies and the green bean thing, you know we all hate it, but I don't want to hurt her feelings, so we will all put some on our plate and move it around!

[Placebo]

27. Ew! I despise all food in casserole form!

:puke:

Why do people like it? lol

[Bouncy Ball]

28. We had spiral sliced ham

and fresh green beans and new potatoes, cooked with portions of ham in the water. And croissants. And wine.

Mmmmmmm. No green bean casserole here. Fresh ones for us!

[short bus president]

29. It was on the table,

but once again, I managed to successfully avoid it.

[annabanana]

30. We got "deli......"

Pastrami, corned beef, rye bread, half-sours, cream soda.......

No cookin' for this ol' gal on Christmas Day!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

31. My husband made Christmas dinner this year, so

we had no green bean casserole. We don't like it.

[lumberingbear]

32. It all sounds good to me!

I fixed fresh greenbeans with onion, potato and ham! :P

[SOteric]

33. No green bean casserole

An amuse bouchee of tiny tarts, -Carmelised Mayan Sweets and Gruyere Cheese.

Deep Fried Tortelloni stuffed with sweet Dungeness crab and a pungent sweet and sour sauce.

Pan-smoked Canadian Lake Trout cakes with horseradish and mint.

A sorbet from cucumber, honeydew and lime to cleanse the palate before the red wines.

Individual Beef Wellingtons with a cognac and green peppercorn demi-glace.

Blanched asparagus and olives in an herbed marinade, and fluffy, riced potatoes with Parmesan and mascarpone.

Chocolate hazelnut gateau with Frangelico Anglaise, and a chestnut and espresso sabayon.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. The green beans here were stir fried with mushrooms and almonds.

My daughter will not eat a veggie that is not at least slightly crisp.

[aQuArius]

35. AMEN! No Green Bean casserole is sight!!!

HOORAH!

[vixengrl]

36. No green bean casserole (that was Thanksgiving).

What I did get was homemade linguine, rib roast, braised aparagus, sweet crispelli, savory crispelli with anchovies, panforte, panettone, coconut meringue cookies, chocolate chip cookies, asti spumante vino and regular jug wine--and right now I'm having a little whiskey and water to "settle my tummy".

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. Thank God, yes! Christmas dinner at my place, so we had real food

and no green bean casserole. Though we had some leftover "broccoli and cheese" casserole that my sister made me make yesterday. I don't consider that ruining a good dinner, though, since it was a leftover and not actually made for the Christmas dinner.

:-)

(that said, I kind of do like the green bean casserole, at least when I make it - but then, I use spices, which is a food unit ("spices") that my midwestern family seems not yet to have heard of)

[Catshrink]

38. I love green beans

but hate that green bean casserole. Maybe it's the onions. Just plain old green beans, slightly cooked. Damn that sounds good!

[mcscajun]

39. Alleluia! No Green Bean Casserole

Not yesterday...not today. :)

[CO Liberal]

40. No Elephant Puke In OUR House!!!

We had pasta, Italian Sausages, sauce, garlic bread, and a salad. And ice cream for dessert.

:9

[qnr]

41. I don't think I've ever had it.

Though I might be forgetting it from childhood. I see those incessant commercials at during the season, and think, WTF?

[NNadir]

42. I did! I did! (Still farting though.)

Usually at my mother-in-law's dinners I either get the farts, or worse, diarrhea.

This year, not only was I farting all the way home, but so was my wife and one of my sons.

[CO Liberal]

43. Hope You Had The Car Windows Open

:-)

[NNadir]

44. It was cold as hell freezing over because of a decent Republican,

but yeah, we had to crack the windows.

[Mr. McD]

45. Never had one, never will

there crap. :puke:
