These are the beans that should never be cooked in the chili. These are the beans that should be added to the chili when ther is chili and eaten without the chili on many occasions when there is no chili. Like our black-eyed pea recipe, this is a vegetarian recipe simply because so many vegetarians frequent the restaurant. And after all, our chili recipe is not even slightly vegetarian.
