Fun Facts About the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
In 1993, the baked navy bean was designated as the official state bean of Massachusetts. In colonial times, Boston became famous for its baked beans and earned the nickname "Beantown"
School children around the state have petitioned for various animals, foods, to be official state things. I think the process to teach children how laws are passed.
I grew up in Pa and NJ area.. I LOVE me some baked beans!!! My TX husband is not a huge fan of them though... Down here its all about pinto beans... Hubby has to REALLY doctor up his pinto beans for me to eat them.. I didn't know that about Mass. but the name Bean Town sounds familiar though.. Hugs! deb
Ever since as a kid my mom made me finish every baked bean on my plate, I now for all these years am thankful I have the right to say no thank you to the horrid baked bean... Anyway happy Saturday to you.
lol..truly i don't think anything would help. She use to supposedly make really good baked beans and people loved them at our get togethers. Also cole slaw is the absolute worse...lol at least as a kid it was.

For once, I actually knew that. Didn't know about the official status, though.

Those beans look delicious.
Never knew this. That is a good nickname - Beantown.
I need to make some baked beans. Homemade ones are better than canned ones. Have a great Saturday.

We don't have a state bean. Our state fruit, though, is the tomato.
Yum! Nothing like Boston baked beans!
Beantown is actually a nickname for Boston
Cool!
Even more delicious with hot dogs and Brown bread
And don't forget your Brown Bread muffins!

Maybe they need to be doctored up with apples, raisins, and maple syrup.

I'm not a big fan of Cole slaw as I don't really like mayonnaise. Same with macaroni and potato salad
