My first go at beans on white toast, pretty good! A slice of my homemade SandwichShortOfAPicnic pork sandwich meat on toast with an egg.

Nice work. What type of beans did you use?

Thank you!
KKA called them haricot beans which on this side of the pond worked out to navy beans.

They really don't look like haricot beans. They are a different shape. They look good though.

Search engine returns all this...
Blimey. Those are all different types!
This is what haricot beans look like here (yours looked longer and a bit flatter). More like butter beans.
Search engine definitely needs a reboot
First level: green beans and haricot, or possibly cannelli beans
Second level: red kidney beans, black eyed peas and maybe pigeon peas?
Third level: Can't see the ones in the middle, but left and right, they're borlotti, or cranberry beans.

Okay, I can get navy beans which looked more like those and this site says they're haricot beans. I must say the navy beans look a *lot* more like yours than the ones I cooked.

THOSE are haricot beans. Yes!! Or navy beans - different name, different continent.

Finally! Now I can go get some of those. Whew, glad I didn't order from Amazon...
...sorry, misunderstood. The ones in this post, you meant.
So what are the beans used in your already cooked version Barriehie ?

Those were baby lima beans.
As I thought - we call them butter beans. They have a different softer texture compared to haricot.

Some around here call them butter beans too. It's a regional thing.
