Black beans

Anyone know where I can get them?????

Fanks :)

Harris Farm sells them in tins. Your healthfood/wholefood store will have them, usually dried or tinned. Sometimes they are called Turtle Beans.

What are you going to make? I made a spicy black bean and corn soup once. Very yummy.

Thanks Aussiegirl.

I want to use them generally (with rice, etc) but I specifically am thinking Mexican.

Yummy! So good for you too.

You could also use red kidney beans. That's what I make magic bean chocolate cake with.... When I ate sugar

Aaahhhhh......those were the days *sigh* :p ;)

I use red kidney beans but I am after something a bit different iykwim.

Yeah - there really is no substitute for the taste of Black Beans. I wish they were more commonly available.

Checkout fireworks foods, online aussie Mexican store, christy buys from there!!

Thanks Olive! I will do that!!

I agree Aussiegirl. I dont understand why they aren't more freely available here. They would be highly palatable to the Australian market :dunno:

I can't believe I have so much to 'say' on black beans (I sound like some kind of freak) but do you know that every week I do my groceries in Woolies and I get to the tinned bean section and I always, always stop and scan every can of beans - just in case this is the week that they have decided to stock them. lol.

I do the same with Tabasco Smoked Chipotle sauce and Baxters Chilli Relish.

You need to both check out fireworks foods lol

Try the La Costena Mexican sauces from Fireworks food. It's seriously addictive.

I'm looking!

Which particular one Onyx?

Look for the one called "Salsa Mexicana-green"

Try the smoked chillies too. Noms. WHOLE DRIED CHIPOTLE CHILLI

Our health food shop stocks them. Cheep cheep too. We had them last night in a sweet smoky stew. Noms. There is leftover in the freezer.

Iga at McAdam Square has them.

ohhh really BR!!

N2L if you go there, check out the health food shop too, its awesome

Thanks BR!! Where is it? What suburb??

Oops, Croydon Hills! It's on Yarra Rd.

OOooohhh thanks!
