Those are nice stories, but I was wondering if you had something other than anecdotes. [as a personal note that may be of some interest to you, I'm not registered with any political party-- I consider myself rather apolitical.]
There is a very tasty Brazilian dish you can make with those black beans and the rice https://www.google.com/search?q=fei...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Feijoada is a variation of the New Orleans specialty, red beans and rice. I think I prefer feijoada. Obviously both versions are of African origin.
When I first moved from the educated North to the Deep South and discovered that folks were actually eating kidney beans and white rice, I naturally thought wtf, might as well be eating potatoes and corn starch. But later I discovered that the particular combination of beans and rice provides a complete compliment of the essential amino acids, which you otherwise don't get if you eat only beans, or only rice.
And to my amazement the dish is very tasty, especially with a little Tobasco.
