Hi, I wish I was full of beans.....I think we will be having some for dinner right soon! Pinto beans are a mottled kidney bean Navy bean is a white kidney bean, or white bean Black eyed peas are also cow peas We grew all of these in Virginia. Wonder why they are so much better than the store bought dried beans. In California some of the Mexican food has Pinquito beans a small pink-brown bean, they are about the size of a black bean. Lived in S. CA 15 years and N. CA for 14, but never have seen a Cramberry bean here. Maybe it is another name for Pinquito bean. Can someone please pass the corn bread? BTW, Many Virginian's came out to CA during the 1800's. I have traced several branches of my family to Northern CA. They built homes, businesses, towns and ran stage coach lines. Petaluma, CA during the War Between the States was divided as to which side you believed in. There is a Civil War Fort at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. Take time to find it and visit if you are ever in the San Francisco area. I took my 73 year old father, a born and raised SW Virginian, there when he visited. He was surprised and enjoyed it very much.
