Maine bean hole beans: a county girl’s take on what yesterday’s nyt article missed…
Bean hole beans extend a party by a whole day for most Maine men, because they are best prepared onsite and, well, they take a long damn time to cook. So a typical Maine man might say, “Honey, (insert man kinfolk or drinking buddy names here) and I need to get to camp Friday night to start the beans at 4 a.m. Saturday.” BOOM. Party started…and with zero argument from the womenfolk, who know the stakes involved and support the cause.
