Pardon my ignorance, but I have been cooking beans 24/7 for three weeks. I am trying to make a serious dent in my survival food cache. So for the last three weeks I have been living on sardines & a Bean Glop. When I finally froze the last two quarts of bean glop, I found a white power on the bottom of the pan. And I am thinking suspicious white power, white beans....? What bean do they use to make that deadly poison......? Please tell me it is not white beans, please......please.

Nahhh,you are safe SD,as long as you weren't cooking castor beans,also known as mole beans,since they seem to repel the lil' buggers.

You're gonna die SD!!!:triage:

Are you talking about botulism?

That is an anerobic poison that forms in canned food in the absence of O2. Cooking at above 160 degrees distroys it. But you have not got it anyway, due to the conditions not being right.

I think what you have is scorched bean drippings.:chef:

I do not cook white beans. One of the foods I love but have been forced to move away from as age set in. They give me heartburn that mimics my heart attack and scares me crapless. Oddly, other beans do not do that to me.

Nope, that is normal when you overcook them. Even over cooked they make a good "glop" :)

It's sounds to me like there is much more danger to the open door outhouse than to you. The good news is you won't blow the door off of it.

I read thru a couple books and also did a quick web search and everything I read only warns of raw or undercooked beans. The white residue seems to be a harmless byproduct that beans leave behind if overcooked

Thanks friends, I really was a but un-nerved. But I just started another batch of "Glop".

How to make Glop: brown 1 1/2 cups of chopped garlic, add four (One Pound) cans of "Bush's" Baked beans, add one 19 oz. can of "Nalley's original Chili, add two cups of "La' Costena" pickeled Jalapeno's, and one cup of the juice from the jalapeno jar, cook at simmer (250 to 300 degrees) on wood stove, eat when hungry, add water befor going to bed, add more contents as there becomes room. Yummy in the tummy for berakfast lunch and dinner, and inbetween.

I am not allowed to eat that in KY. I am pretty sure it is a criminal offense to be caught with that on your stove.

Our population density is 88 people per square mile and you must be down to .5 people per square mile to even get a permit to cook that concoction!

Actually SD, that sounds pretty good now that you list the ingredients.
The name "Glop" is short changing the recipe--sounded like baby food. But if you've got garlic, beans and pickled jalapenos in there you can't go wrong. I'd probably throw in kidney beans and black eyed peas too, just for texture.
And of course, green olives.

Rick and Ky. You guys have broke me into a teary eyed laugh.:>)))))))))))

SD. That sounds pretty good but might want a few more jalapenos. Never to many jalapenos.

I don't care if you are in alaska, the EPA has rules against that kind of toxic waste being produced without porper controls and safty measures in place.

A spill could change the caribou migration routes or create deformities in the salmon population.

And it is inevitable that you will blow up your shack! We will be able to see the blue flame all the way to KY and the toxic cloud will sweep east over Canada causing an internationl incident of great impact! :oops:

All it will take is firing up a Coleman lantern and then passing gas and Homeland Security is going to be all over you!

"Why is there no Christmas this year granpa?"
"Well Honey a guy named sourdough was making bean clop in Alaska and he blew up Santa Claus.....:santa:


And to think that my friends think I am crazy for buying generic Spam!!!

I wouldn't bet on that. Do you smoke Sourdough?

No, don't smoke, but the wood stove burns 24/7/300 days a year.
