“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |

Rinse beans. In a large saucepan combine beans and 3 cups water.
Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from
heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. (Or soak by placing beans and 3
cups water in a bowl.
Cover and set in a cool place for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.)
Drain beans in a colander and rinse. Return beans to the saucepan.
Stir in onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, fennel seed, red pepper, and 3
cups fresh water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer
about 2 1/2 hours or till beans are tender, adding more water, if
necessary, and stirring occasionally.
Uncover and simmer, stiring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes more
or till a thick gravy forms. Discard bay leaf. Serve over rice.
