What in the world are sea beans? I lived by the ocean most of my life(still do)and I've never heard of them.
Does anybody know what they are and have you ever eaten them?
I love to to talk about food, it's fun to swap stories with other people about what they eat, how they cook and what spices they use!

I hear you about the chutney and onion/fruit combos. Blech.

I know that it is a 'taste' thing....I just do not like the sugary sweetness of some foods. Example? A few years ago my brother was cooking a T-giving day turkey, with oyster stuffing.

I had to get past my gag reflex when I tasted it. It tasted like bread with oysters, raisins and carrots and brown sugar, It was soooooo sweet I had to push it over on the plate so I could taste the rest of my meal.

I can do the apple/berry/walnut/sweet styles of stuffing, but anything that is too sweet just turns me off. I just don't get it.


I was trying to find a reference to the "I'll throw up" story, but I have to check the old newspapers.

Again, it's a catchall-dare I say politically correct?- term for anything that washes up on the beach????
