I hate when anyone asks me to name my favorite bean. Can you name a favorite child? No! But if I had favorites, I'd certainly have to consider Good Mother Stallards.

Enjoy them without all the trappings to really get the most out of them!There are still 2-4 pounds of Rancho Gordo beans in the pantry (about 25% of what I received as a birthday present 4 months ago). Is it unreasonable to take these new varietals as an excuse to buy more?
