Speckled butter beans have been a favorite of mine since small.

I didn’t know they are a lima or that lima’s were colloquially called butter beans until several years ago.

Both are favorites.

Granny would put a big hunk of salt pork or hog jowl in her butter beans and made fresh corbread to go mwith them.

My mammo and mother, and so do I use a good chunk of a slab of boiling bacon.

Cornbread is required with beans. A thick crunchy crusted corned done in bacon grease. Shallots and clear tabasco in the side.

I always liked chow chow relish with my beans and cornbread too.

Sadly all my aunts and my Granny are gone so no more home canned chow chow. Mrs. Cambell's is the only store bought that is decent to eat

Its not as good as home canned like my granny and aunts made years ago, but it's not bad for store bought.

The debate over beans or no beans has existed before most of us were even born and likelywill exist even after we are all lon gone from this earth.

There is no debate.
There is the right way and the wrong way. That's a fact.
Just because some leftist website adds beans doesn't mean that it's the truth.
For those who fail to understand basic Spanish: "chili con carne" means "chili peppers with meat". Those who read "beans" in that are just poor deluded individuals.

Same with sticking your wiener in dough. I don't care what you do behind your own closed doors but don't sell it to the public under the fake name of "kolach". The British have a name for your tiny wiener in dough: "pig in a blanket". So do not confuse it with a wedding pastry, please. And don't get me started on the proper spelling of said wedding pastries, especially their singular and plural. We'll be here all night.

Coming from the nearby “GUMBO” culture, I sought to start out “right”,so found a crusty but famous West Texas Rancher to tutor me re “Real TEXAS Chile”.

The Guy did own a large ranch way out West, did have a “Giant” character modeled after him, had studied under Paul Bocuse in Lyon, and had written a then-popular “Texana” cookbook.

He taught me to prepare pinto beans as a separate dish, but to always serve the beans in their own separate bowl, never to “mix” the two.

Some 30 years back Texas Monthly Magazine ran a popular article on “Things that don’t go into Texas CHILE”; try to find and read it.

BTW, my “Expert” called for ONLY beef suet as “fat” for chile.

My meme for thise things is this: “You may cook anything you want in your own home; BUT, if you start calling yourself “expert” or calling your dish “authentic” in public; you had better damned-well be accurate !”

And, accurate means HISTORICALLY CORRECT, not “what you like” !

Care to post some sources to show the accuracy of your comments. Because anyone could say they learned how to makeauthentic Texas chili from some old Texas rancher and try and pass him off as an expert. Got any proof your source is historically accurate?

This reminds me of SATX on his Recipe from The Army on the proper Way To Cook SOS.

WHY Aint he in the Memorial section?

Yep, never put them in mine. Grew up with mom’s “chili“ and it always had beans. And a few other things people probably wouldn’t approve of. It was good though.
