Odd Question...

I will eat green beans but don't like shelled beans... But, I will also eat beanie weenies and have just asked Pretty to get me some Van Camp's Pork and Beans so I can make beanie weenies... I make them with Polish Sausages (all beef) cut into chunks, add brown sugar, diced sweet onions, olive oil and garlic powder, all slow cooked over medium heat for two hours. Are beanie weenies one of those foods you ate as a kid? Do you still eat them and, if so, do you make them yourself or do you buy them pre-made? IF you eat beanie weenies, do you also eat cornbread with them?

I think I ate them as a child. Not as an adult. I think yes we had cornbread with them when I was a kid.

They served bad beanie weenies in school lunches here. I ate the weenies and left the beans. They didn't taste the same as what mom or I make. And school never served us cornbread with them. If I'm remembering correctly, they gave us mashed potatoes, which I also ate.

When I was a kid, I ate fish more often because it wasn't as expensive as chicken, but now fish is more expensive than chicken.

@DaddyEvil fishing is not my hobby, maybe flying a kite somewhere.

@May2k8 My dad often went fishing when I was young. Sometimes I'd go with him and play along the banks of the river while he fished. I also flew kites when I was young and got kites for Pretty to fly when she was a kid, too. Kites are always fun!

I can't eat fish. I break out in hives/rash if I eat it. Maybe you should start fishing more often.

I was not a beanie weenie fan due usually having them served cold at school. That’s where they’d be served, and it never failed they’d be cold. Some foods are just ruined for me if they are cold.

@DaddyEvil We’d get green beans, and sometimes the bean juice would leak into the beanie weenies. Ugh.

Eww! I don't want them cold, either. They were usually warm at school but still didn't taste right. I ate the weenie slices out of it and left the beans. Do you remember what they served with beanie weenies at your school? We always got mashed potatoes and I will eat those hot or cold. I really like mashed potatoes!

@AmbiePam Eww! We had divided plates in school. Nothing mingled with anything else. I prefer my foods to stay separate on my plate if I can manage that. One of my brothers would gross the rest of us out by mixing everything together on his plate. When we'd complain, he'd say it got mixed together in his stomach anyway. Dad told him to quit doing that or eat in another room so nobody else had to see it. Joe started eating in the living room after that.

Never had them. What I enjoy is smoked sausages with pork and beans or with hot dog chili sauce,

I don't eat pork and beans unless it's made into beanie weenies. Smoked sausages with hotdog chili sauce sounds really good!

Cornbread and chili over here. Beanie weenies are one of those canned goodies that my Mom served up when we lived in Mpls. That and Chef Boy Ardee. Enjoy!!

@DaddyEvil When I was a kid big rings of bologny was common. Even though I mostly am a vegetarian I miss decent sausages.

@sallypup I don't remember that but I won't eat bologna. As long as the sausages don't contain parts of an animal I won't eat, they're usually fine with me. (That's the reason I don't eat bologna or hotdogs. I KNOW what parts are in those meats.)

I've never heard of beanie weanies. I don't like the sound of the name for some reason but they no doubt taste okay.

They were a common food item when I was growing up on the farm. Mom made them at least once a month. They taste like barbecued baked beans. I really like them although Pretty hates them.

It's been a long time since I've eaten beanie weenies. I ate them pre-made. Your way sounds so good, I may have to do that some time.

@noni1959 I don't like beans except for green beans. I used to eat bean soup with cornbread when I was a kid, though.

Hubby used to make beanie weenie once and a while with hot dogs and Bush's Baked Beans. Now I can't eat beans or processed meat. Sigh. I like cornbread; but hubby didn't.
