white beans and rice are a staple down here, but it seems like no one outside of terrebonne/lafourche even acknowledges the dish. what gives?

i cant imagine a good shrimp jambalaya or fried fish without white beans

I like em cooked with sausage or tasso and served with rice, or throw em in pasta, with garlic, parsley and parmesan cheese.. and olive oil on top.

Red beans are certainly more common where I'm from (St. Martin) but I love me some white beans...

I like white beans, but not with rice. I have an issue with the textures of bean and rice when together. Love red beans, but not with rice. I'll eat a little rice with the red bean gravy over it, but not the beans.

They are delicious. Just not something you talk about on a food board.

White beans and rice.

We just eat white beans with ham and cornbread.

Great rainy winter day evening meal.

If there is jambalaya, you can guarantee there will be white beans!

looks like you are right....we had a thread about how to cut sausage and it got me thinking how such a staple dish rarely gets brought up.

If white beans and rice are served with Jambalaya you can keep the white rice and ill scoop my white bean right on top the jambalaya.

Why not?

There have been at least 3 threads on white beans in the past several months excluding this one and there have been some in the past asking for recipes. White beans are food and this is a food board.

1 a month?

You proved my point. Didn't mean couldn't talk about it, just that it's not something people care to bring up.

Growing up it was red beans for us. Had white beans for the first time and it was an epiphany.
