Stephen,
I believe that, historically, whether the cook could afford to add salt pork to the beans,
whether green, black, or white, may be the more significant issue. Sea beans are
naturally salty and green, but were priced at $12/pound at a local farmers' market.
New research leads me to wonder whether the British rock band "Fumble" aren't being
referenced as well.
