I looked at the other recipe for succotash in that book, and there they are, lima beans!

In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine. Stir in about 2 cups cooked corn kernels, 1 1/2 cups cooked lima beans (or 1 3/4 cups cut green beans), 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion (including part of tops), and 1/2 cup whipping cream. Simmer until slightly thickened and heated through. Season to taste with seasoned salt and pepper. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

I have to say, that doesn't appeal to me as much as the first recipe and I've never been tempted to cook it.


And yes, you have your own permission to leave the table without eating your lima beans.
