Forum friends

Good morning, I hope the moods are better and spirits high today smile

There is a kind of bean very popular in Portugal called "Tremoços" in
Spain "Altramuces" in English "Grain Beans or Lupini Beans " very good to eat
when you're drinking a beer, wine or just for fun.

Color is yellow color, conserved in salty water...

How is it called in Polish language? My wife doesn't know too sad

Is it available in Poland? Here in Łódź no trace of them, nowere.

Can you help me?

Obrigado, Dziękuję serdecznie, Thank you, Muchas Gracias, Merci etecetera...

      pork and beans
      and lesbeans smile smile

        Had Kidney beans - great with Chilli. Love pork-chop with runner beans. Never
        tasted lesbeans - what are they like?

          Are you serious?
          Well, let's put it this way: if you are a guy, they might turn you on, however
          you won't be a great turn on for them.

            Hi Kylie,

            No, I wasn't serious, although I meant to say 'never had lesbeans'.

            Have a nice day!

            PS - whats the weather like over there now? Are you guys getting ready for
            Christmas? What is a Canadian Christmas like?

              Good. I thought you didn't get the joke.smile
              Oh yeah, Xmas in in the air big time! Xmas here is very much the same thing as
              it is in the U.States (and Britain, I suppose). Same stuff every year...buying
              a Christmas tree, having families get together, eat till you barf and simply
              chill. A lot of fun. Kids are coming home for Xmas and we have opted for a tiny
              (4'ft) fiberoptic fake tree. Little to do since it already came with ornaments.
              We have a boxing day right after the Xmas day (I don't think they have it down
              in the States).This is when you find people lining up outside electronic stores
              at 2 in the morning waiting for the big boxing day blow out sale. Good deals
              but not everybody wants to stay up all night.
              And you know the rest: stocking stuffers and Reindeers and Rudolph and Blitzen,
              Donner, Vixen, etc. Santa shows up at night, grabs his cookies and milk and
              takes off. No one has ever seen him (at night) but I know he is there! smile

              Cheers,

      Hello,
      Tremoços is "łubin" in Polish, but here it is not a snack. Łubin is normally
      treated as manure. In the country, every 4 or 5 years farmers grow "Łubin" on a
      field they consider barren, and then let it rot, as it is considered good
      manure. We do eat, however, sunflower and pumpkin (abóbora) seeds.

        Thank you voyteq!

        Manure? Oh gee... and łubin it's so popular in Iberic Peninsula smile)

        Well, I don't see myself asking łubin to some Polish farmer but who knows?

        Regarding lesbeans I never experimented but apparently seems to be quite
        appreciated by some people in Canada.

        I like sunflower seeds by the way.

          As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure! smile

          I am just looking at the picture of the lupini beans and

          www.hormel.com/kitchen/glossary.asp?id=37063&catitemid=
          it seems to me they look almost exactly as the large lima beans. I wonder if it
          could be the same thing...

          Compare those two and see what you think.

            Hi Kylie!

            Thank you. At least I think I will have my Lupini Beans almost for free here in
            Poland tongue_out

            They look like the ones in your url but the colour is light yellow, like the
            ones the Gran'Ma is selling here:

              I think what we have here is the Polish beans called "BOB" with that little
              apostrophy over the letter "O".

              I think you shouldn't have much trouble finding it in POland. My parents used
              to love that stuff. If you look here:

              66.102.7.104/search?
              q=cache:otsf40wJS_8J:www.foodsubs.com/Beans.html+broad+beans+are+lupini+beans&hl
              =en

              go down maybe one third of the page, look under fava (it has a picture).
              Depending when it's harvested it can have a yellowish color or brownish. It's
              nice and starchy inside. I have seen those beans in the store and they sell
              them in cans.

              Hope you can find them. smile

                Hi once again kylie

                The mistery keeps on smile

                Thank you once again.

                What you show me is fava and not exactly lupini beans, I found this image quite
                good with tremoços, have a look...

                  I think maybe I saw these in Makro?
                  Also, there is a delicatessen in Arkadia that sells a lot of foreign food,
                  maybe try theresmile

            What can be seen on the picture (www.hormel.com/kitchen/glossary.asp?
            id=37063&catitemid=) is certainly BÓB- (broad bean - ENG, haba ESP, fava PRT);
            it'a a very good snack and you'll have no problem getting it here. It is sold
            in plastic bags even in supermarkets.
            But as for the Portuguese word 'tremocos' or Spanish 'altramuz' its Polish
            meaning is certainly 'ŁUBIN'. However, I don't know whether the Portuguese -
            English translation is right or not, as dictionaries often seem confusing; a
            couple of years ago I met an American writer who called tiles 'elms' and when I
            told her they were tiles, not elms, she said she had been told the same story
            in Russia.
